Abstract:
Over time, the increasing interest in animal-based product has led consumers to require
that the production processes are performed in an ethical way and that food quality is
assured. In this context, PLF may be a useful tool as a technology that can help farmers
in monitoring the herds and improving animal welfare and health, as well as increase the
productivity and enhance the welfare of farmers and workers. However, no methodology
is currently available for the evaluation of the social performance of livestock activities
implementing PLF. This paper proposes a preliminary methodological framework for the
assessment of the social impact of PLF in dairy cattle farms through the Social Life Cycle
Assessment (S-LCA) methodology (type I), to evaluate with a life cycle perspective the
impacts generated on the well-being of stakeholders by the activities of the studied
system.
