Plant-based CO2-eq emissions from the processes assessed in the production of plant-based products in organic and conventional systems: organic fertilization (application of residues from harvest), inorganic fertilization (production and application) and pesticides (production). Please, note that due to the lack of data the results shown on the graphic do not consider some potential sinks in the organic system (i.e. soil organic carbon sequestration from the application of residues from harvest and other organic inputs) as well as some potential emissions (i.e. N2O emissions from the application of other organic fertilizers)
