Randi Dalgaard obtained her Ph.D. in 2008 with a study on Life Cycle Assessment of Danish Pork. She has worked with life cycle assessment of food products since 2001 and is an advanced LCI database developer. She was responsible for the modeling of the agricultural data for the LCAfood database and has modeled farming systems and the related emissions for several years.
