Purpose: Extensive agriculture activities for crop production have led to increasing environmental impacts that threaten to exceed environmentally safe limits. The purpose of this study is to analyze resource efficiency of the agri-food industry, considering the case of sugarcane production in Pakistan.
Methods: A holistic approach has been applied by determining the relevant impact categories and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and linking them with Planetary Boundary-based Life Cycle Assessment (PB-LCA). Both the spatially generic and spatially resolved approaches were considered with application of different sharing principles.
Results and discussion: Application of different sharing principles showed high variations in the assigned share of the safe operating space values. When taking a spatially generic approach, most of the impacts (except marine eutrophication and water consumption) were within the safe operating space for equal per capita, economic, caloric, and grandfathering sharing principles. However, all the impacts exceeded their limits considering the agri-land sharing and land use impact surpassed its budget considering the grandfathering sharing. In the spatially resolved approach, most of the impact values surpassed the available budgets. Furthermore, the failure to attain the pertinent SDG targets from a PB-LCA perspective is indicated by the exceeding of safe operating space for relevant impact categories.
Conclusions: Overall, the production of sugarcane was found to be unsustainable, requiring urgent action to promote resource improvement and contain the impacts within safe limits. The developed framework enabled the evaluation of the SDGs using PB-LCA at the product level. The target-driven impact reduction values would help in achieving the targets and prioritizing the efforts by making informed decisions for reducing impacts within safe limits.

Objective: The beneficial relationship of influenza vaccination rate on the COVID-19 pandemic is inconclusive and inconsistent. Thus, we aimed to investigate long-term trend changes in influenza vaccination rate among general population of South Korea before COVID-19 pandemic and during early/mid-pandemic period. Methods: We analyzed nationwide representative serial study from the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES). We analyzed data from 2007 to 2020 from KNHANES to calculate the influenza vaccination rates. Influenza vaccination status was obtained from health interviews and questionnaire based on the question of whether the influenza vaccine was vaccinated in the past 12 months. Results: Among 78,067 participants, the vaccination coverage increased from 2007 to 2020 (27.6% in 2007 to 2008 and 42.2% in 2020). The slope for the vaccination coverage increased between 2007 to 2019 (pre-pandemic, β= 0.310, 95% CI, 0.267 to 0.352), and the slope increased less than expected between 2018 to 2020 (entering the pandemic, β = 0.036, 95% CI, 0.010 to 0.062; β diff = -0.274, 95% CI, -0.323 to -0.224). However, the participants with ≥ 65 years old and those with medical condition (diabetes, tuberculosis, asthma, angina, myocardial infarction, cancer, chronic kidney disease, hypertension, and hyperlipidemia), the trends of the vaccination coverage increased from 2007 to 2019, whereas the coverage were decreased in 2020 (≥65 years old: 72.9%, 85.5%, and 81.4%; medical condition: 43.3%, 56.3%, and 55.7%, respectively). Conclusions: In this study using nationwide serial study, the influenza vaccination coverage increased from 2007 to 2020, and the slope increased less than expected in 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic. On the other hand, the vaccination coverage decreased during the COVID-19 pandemic in the participants with ≥65 years old and those with medical condition. We suggest that influenza vaccination should be encouraged to the elderly and chronic disease patients to prevent twin infection during the COVID-19 pandemic.
