This study summarizes advancements in life cycle assessment (LCA) that enhance our understanding of environmental sustainability milk production and processing. A systematic review 84 papers published between 2018 2024 was conducted to highlight the topics main methodological elements can aid prioritizing interventions from an standpoint. The findings indicate most discussed include farming management strategies, mitigation approaches, livestock management. Limited attention given circular economy, energy efficiency, consumption, feed In goal scope phase, only 36 studies followed a standard LCA methodology, while 53 took comparative approach 32 descriptive one. inventory analysis 23% relied solely on modeled data, 72% experimental 56 used IPCC guidelines for emission factors. For impact assessment, categories addressed were global warming potential, eutrophication acidification with ReCiPe being commonly method. Importantly, more than half did not conduct uncertainty or sensitivity analyses; 27% performed analyses 12% analyses. offers insights advocates suggests future research directions.
