Detailed background data

It has been assumed that the food processing industry is located in Denmark. Data from seven dairies, given as ranges, in Djekic et al. (2014). The arithmetic averages are used. Production of whey and cream is not reported, we approximate this with data for yellow cheese production from the DK food database (Nielsen et al. 2003), assuming that they are produced proportionaly to the milk input. Retail is modelled assuming the following storage: Cooled. See more details as well as literature references in the methodoly report on: www.denstoreklimadatabase.dk.

Data on inputs and outputs of the food processing industry is modelled using: Djekic et al. (2014); Nielsen et al. (2003).
