There is a large EU project which looks at the role of legumes (eg. peas) in human nutrition and also as an animal feed. On the matter of peas as a feed alternative to soy the project finds that peas can provide a realistic substitute for soy in feeds for animals of all types and that this would yield GHG and lower energy use benefits, albeit modest (the analysis takes into account land use change impacts of soy production eg. deforestation).

Muñoz, I; Milá i Canals L, Llorenç Clift, R. (2008). "Consider a Spherical Man: A Simple Model to Include Human Excretion in Life Cycle Assessment of Food Products", Journal of Industrial Ecology, Volume 12, Number 4, pp. 521-538(18). Emissions derived from human digestion of food and subsequent excretion are very relevant from a life cycle perspective, and yet they are often omitted from food life cycle assessment (LCA) studies.

Pimentel D, Williamson S, et al (2008). "Reducing energy inputs in the US food system". Human Ecology, August 2008. An estimated 19 percent of total energy used in the USA is taken up in the production and supply of food. Currently, this mostly comes from non-renewable energy sources which are in short supply. This paper, published in Human Ecology, sets out a number of strategies that could potentially cut fossil energy fuel use in the food system by as much as 50 percent.

New Zealand kiwifruit exporter Freshco has become the first company to have its kiwis certified as climate-neutral, through a partnership with Dutch organic specialist Eosta. The kiwifruit is certified by German certification agency TüV Nord, and will be marketed in Europe by Eosta, which already this year has launched apples and pears from South America, vine tomatoes from Holland and citrus fruit from South Africa and Egypt under the climate-neutral label.

This paper, "Eco-labelling of wild-caught seafood products", describes and analyses the criteria applied by four different eco-labelling schemes for seafood products from capture fisheries, and discusses the criteria in terms of environmental impacts, based on the ISO 14040 standard for life cycle assessment. It is concluded that the most widespread eco-label, the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC), mainly addresses the fishing stage, in particular the overexploitation of marine resources.

The Journal of Cleaner Production has a special issue dedicated to sustainable seafood, with a suite of papers covering a range of topics. The stated purpose of the special issue is to bring together a series of papers that will form a nucleus for the growth of an emerging area of scholarship.

A speech by Commissioner Joe Borg at the Baltic Sea 2020 conference on achieving sustainable fisheries, included this reference to climate change: “Fisheries can no longer operate in isolation. Instead, its activities must gel with others, such as coastal development and climate change mitigation. One illustration of this trend can already be seen in the environmental pillar of the Maritime Policy, the Marine Strategy Directive, which sets regional quality objectives which will have a direct bearing on the CFP.”

The Marine Climate Impact Partnership 2010 Annual report Card covers the impact of the climate on UK seas and outlines a number of physical parameters of the marine ecosystem which are defined by the climate, coining the phrase, ocean-climate.
