Description

This Guide provides a benchmark for the evaluation of responses to TSC’s THESIS KPIs with quantitative response options in select produce categories. Field and controlled environment agriculture (CEA) values are listed together unless otherwise noted which may provide a wide range of values.

The purpose of this guide is to determine feasibility of the responses. The following KPIs are covered in this Guide:

• Fertilizer Application – Growing Operations (GO)
• Food Loss and Waste Generation – Distribution
• Food Loss and Waste Generation – Processing
• Greenhouse Gas Emissions – Growing Operations (GO)
• Irrigation Water Use – Growing Operations (GO)
• Yield – Growing Operations (GO)

Please note that the feasibility ranges provided in this document are based on normal conditions and, therefore, may change due to extreme weather events and climate change
