LivestockLCAGenerator

Manages the calculation of environmental footprints (climate change, eutrophication, air quality) associated with livestock production.
class goblin_lite.LCA_processing.livestock_lca_generator.LivestockLCAGenerator(ef_country, calibration_year, target_year, baseline_animal_data, scenario_animal_data, farm_inputs_baseline, farm_inputs_scenario, landuse_data, transition_matrix, crop_data, DATABASE_PATH, AR_VALUE)[source]

Manages the calculation of environmental footprints (climate change, eutrophication, air quality) associated with livestock production. Employs ClimateChangeLivestock, EutrophicationLivestock, and AirQualityLivestock classes.

generate_livestock_footprint()[source]

Calculates disaggregated footprints for climate change, eutrophication, and air quality.

generate_aggregated_livestock_footprint()[source]

Calculates aggregated climate change footprints at the national level.

generate_livestock_footprint()[source]

Calculates disaggregated environmental footprints (climate change, eutrophication, air quality) for livestock production.

Details

  • Leverages ClimateChangeLivestock, EutrophicationLivestock, and AirQualityLivestock classes.

  • Utilizes baseline and scenario animal data, and farm input data.

  • Saves results to a database via the DataManager class.
