Using a cradle-to-gate life cycle analysis approach, under the ISO 14067 standard, and analyzing various emission sources through the Cool Farm Tool, I determine that the carbon footprint generates an average of 741 .7 kg CO2e per plot; and an average of 267.4 kg CO2e per hectare. The main emission sources identified are the use of organic fertilizer (54%), the consumption of fossil fuels (35%) and the use of protection inputs (8%). Considering the declared unit of 1 kg of harvested quinoa, I obtain the carbon footprint results per product, with values ranging between 0.3 and 2.3 kg CO2e\/kg of quinoa and an average of 0.98 kg CO2e\/ kg of quinoa.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Key words: climate change, carbon footprint, quinoa crops.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>JEL Codes: Q16, Q29, Q54, Y8<\/strong>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n<\/section>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;17525&#8243; img_size=&#8221;large&#8221; style=&#8221;vc_box_shadow_3d&#8221; onclick=&#8221;custom_link&#8221; link=&#8221;https:\/\/www.inesad.edu.bo\/download\/estimate-of-the-carbon-footprint-in-organic-quinoa-plots-in-the-south-of-bolivia-case-study\/\/?wpdmdl=17521&#8243;][vc_column_text]Click on the picture to download the PDF.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_column_text]By: Liliana Roca Abstract This case study is part of the research project \u201cCreating Indigenous Women&#8217;s Green Jobs under Low-Carbon COVID-19 Response and Recovery in the Bolivian Quinoa Sector&#8221;.\u00a0 I estimate the carbon footprint associated with the quinoa production in southern &hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":17,"featured_media":17528,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"advanced_seo_description":"","jetpack_seo_html_title":"","jetpack_seo_noindex":false,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[520,565,543,432],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-17524","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-environmental-economics","category-green-jobs-and-sustainable-agriculture","category-men","category-working-papers"],"acf":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/www.inesad.edu.bo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Tapa-1-e1729007538282.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p9wqBX-4yE","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.inesad.edu.bo\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17524","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.inesad.edu.bo\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.inesad.edu.bo\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.inesad.edu.bo\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/17"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.inesad.edu.bo\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=17524"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.inesad.edu.bo\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17524\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":17531,"href":"https:\/\/www.inesad.edu.bo\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17524\/revisions\/17531"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.inesad.edu.bo\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/17528"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.inesad.edu.bo\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=17524"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.inesad.edu.bo\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=17524"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.inesad.edu.bo\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=17524"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
