	Field To Market	Background. Nearly all estimates of future demand for agricultural goods suggest a need to double agricultural production by 2050, if not before, in order to maintain adequate supplies for a growing world population that will use its expanding income to diversify diets with more meat, dairy, fruits and vegetables.i Field to Market: The Alliance for Sustainable Agriculture Outcomes believes this increased production must be accomplished in a manner that does not negatively impact – and actually improves – overall environmental and societal outcomes. Field to Market is a collaborative stakeholder group of producers, agribusinesses, food and retail companies, and conservation organizations that are working together to develop a supply-chain system for agricultural sustainability. The group was convened and is facilitated by The Keystone Center, a neutral, non-profit organization specializing in collaborative decision-making processes for environment, energy, and health policy issues.The...	1.26 MB	Tue 07 of April, 2009	SBOMER		466
	SCS Life Cycle Based Certification	There are a lot of blind alleys on the path to becoming green. Many strategies can result in unintended negative consequences at some point during the life-cycle of the product. Managers must determine what is truly green versus simple greenwashing, and consider every step that can be taken to protect the integrity of the claim. SCS is able to provide scientific, third-party certification that takes into account the full “cradle-to-grave” consequences of a product’s manufacture, use and disposal. This process is consistent with SCS-002, the emerging national standard for LCA metrics, and conformant with ISO-14044 international LCA requirements.	247.50 KB	Mon 06 of April, 2009	SCS1		559
