MARDI-SIRIM
Local Collaboration Project
Project Title:
Capacity Building on Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) for Conventional Rice Farming System
Duration:
May - Dec 2016
Commercial Project Funded by
MARDI (Climate Change, Adaptation and Mitigation Programme)
Key Highlights:
This project is a combination of capacity building and consultation work for the assessment of the environmental profiles for the conventional rice farming system. The project is divided into three (3) core components:
- Component 1: Awareness training on Life Cycle Inventory Analysis (LCIA) and Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) – conducted on 3 – 4 May, 2016
- Component 2: Conduct of review and data assessment (for conventional rice farming system) session – conducted on 19 Oct, 2016
- Component 3: Conduct of Global Warming Potential (GWP) Profiling session – to be conducted on 16 Dec, 2016
