Consequential Life Cycle Assessment (CLCA) can play an important role in providing insights for decision-makers regarding potential market-mediated resource/environmental consequences stemming from changes product systems. However, the consistent application of CLCA encounters challenges due to absence common guidelines. This systematic review studied different sets literature develop a methodological framework plant protein extraction through fractionation, using Canada as example. Given that economic models are integral components CLCA, this offers comprehensive survey employed 18 studies, shedding light on their respective strengths and weaknesses. Notably, study identifies use both Computable General Equilibrium Partial enabling analysis large-scale long-term changes. The estimation land (both direct indirect) is part instrumental quantifying indirect For characterizing modelling practices agri-food sector, 33 studies were reviewed extract information decision context, time horizon, identification marginal/substitutable markets, uncertainty sensitivity analyses, etc. 'Increased supply' 'increased demand' found be contexts. It practice identify marginal markets based assumptions, literature, other sources along with employing some cases. used more often estimating change impacts. To elaborate case (i.e., pea fractionation), alternative uses co-products fractionation processes basis determining probable identified. Building upon these findings, culminates proposal detailed applied incorporating considerations revolve around utilizing like starch fibre. Future research could focus identifying relevant Canadian landscape, thereby enhancing applicability relevance within region.
