Database evolution-Update calendar

The database is constantly evolving. We are constantly working on corrections and improvements for future versions.

Corrections and the integration of new data are made on an ongoing basis, but a new version of the database is published every 18/24 months.

Publication history since version 3.0

  • Publication of version 3.0 in June 2020 (background data: ecoinvent 3.5 and WFLDB 3.1)

  • Version 3.0.1 published in October 2020 (background data: ecoinvent 3.5 and WFLDB 3.1)

  • Publication of version 3.1 in October 2022 (background data: ecoinvent 3.8 and WFLDB 3.5)

  • Publication of version 3.1.1 in June 2023 (background data: ecoinvent 3.8 and WFLDB 3.5)

  • Release of version 3.2 in November 2024 (background data: ecoinvent 3.9.1 and WFLDB 3.5)

The new impact factors for version 3.2 of the AGRIBALYSE database have been published: consult them on the ! The “software” versions are currently being implemented in OpenLCA and Simapro. To find out more, visit the page.

Changes include :

  • new data and data updates produced in particular by the agricultural and agri-food technical institutes as part of the InCyVie project, and following feedback from external contributors (Alliance 7 in particular)

  • Revision of packaging modelling (PACK_AGB project)

  • Data improvements/corrections (cooking methods, refined recipes, etc.)

  • Revision of metal trace elements in organic fertilisers

  • Update of the rule for allocating the impacts of organic waste products (PRO)

  • Geographical correction of water flows

  • Upgrade of background data (ecoinvent 3.9, WFLDB 3.5)

7 products are duplicated in the impact spreadsheets. These products correspond to the following CIQUAL codes: 26232, 26013, 25998, 26037, 26034, 27029, 9901. This is due to a correction of a packaging allocation error detected following the release of version 3.2 in the LCA software. For these products:

  • lines in red correspond to uncorrected values, i.e. identical to version 3.2 in the LCA software

  • black lines correspond to corrected values (i.e. not aligned with version 3.2 currently available in LCA software).

LCA software will be corrected when version 3.3 is released.

Next updates

The publication of a new version involves a large number of players and requires the implementation of a relatively extensive validation/revision/updating process for the documentation. The data to be included in future versions must be received and validated by the GIS REVALIM approximately 6 months before official publication.

Version 3.3 scheduled for 2026

The data to be included in version 3.3 must be notified to GIS REVALIM before Summer 2025. To find out more, visit the page.
