Abstract
The project “Italian Life Cycle Inventory Database of Agri-Food Products” (ILCIDAF), funded by the Ministry of University and Research, aims to promote the sustainability of the agri-food sector through the development of an Italian database for some important food chains in our country (bread and pasta, wine, olive oil, and citrus fruits). The research project is being developed by four scientific units: the University of Bari, Chieti-Pescara, Messina, and Reggio Calabria. The database is constructed considering the entire supply chain of the indicated foodstuffs. In particular, in this work, the milling activities of durum and soft wheat are analysed, and the construction of datasets related to the production phase of durum and soft wheat flour is proposed.
