land use credits for feedstock production

Question

Hi,

I'm using Agribalyse V3.0.1 and the EF 3.0 method.  My model contains the production of beef. I have a problem understanding the results. The impact results of land use show for the feed production, next to high land use PT, credits nearly as big as the emissions. Where does these credits come from and how can they be interpreted?

And how come that the results of human toxicity non cancer are negative?

How can beef production lead to a negative human toxicity non cancer?

Thank you in advance.

kind regards

Answer 1

Beef can lead to negative toxicity results because their feed removes heavy metal from the soil during growth
