Frequently asked questions

Yes. Nuvio Planet lets you run scenarios that vary feed composition, animal performance and other parameters, then benchmark the outcomes against industry standards. You can evaluate the trade-offs of an initiative before you change anything in production.

No. Nuvio Planet is designed so that both specialists and business teams can understand the trade-offs behind a decision and act on them. The intelligence is embedded where the work happens, not locked away in a separate discipline.

Nuvio Planet removes the time, cost and complexity of life cycle analysis and turns the results into decision-grade intelligence. Teams see the environmental consequence of a choice alongside its cost and performance, without needing deep life cycle expertise in-house.

A traditional consulting LCA takes 3 to 12 months, and most of that time is data collection. With standardized models and recognized secondary databases, a One-Time Life Cycle Analysis from Nuvio Planet takes weeks, and LCA Live keeps every footprint current continuously, so the question disappears after setup.

A traditional full LCA study costs 50,000 to 200,000 USD and takes 3 to 12 months. Nuvio Planet offers a One-Time Life Cycle Analysis for one product at 490 euros, Procurement360, the supplier data platform that returns one aggregated footprint for your supply base from 490 euros, and LCA Live, the software platform that keeps a whole portfolio of footprints current, priced per engagement after a demo.

Yes. Nuvio Planet calculates results with recognized methodologies and complies with the ISO 14040 and ISO 14044 life cycle standards. It follows the European Commission Product Environmental Footprint models, assessing 16 environmental factors, and applies sector guidance from the Livestock Environmental Assessment and Performance Partnership for the livestock sector.

A product carbon footprint (PCF) measures only the climate impact of a product, while a life cycle assessment (LCA) covers the full set of environmental impact categories, such as water use, land use, and resource depletion. A PCF is an LCA scoped to one indicator; Nuvio Planet delivers both from the same underlying model.

A screening LCA is a fast, simplified assessment that uses secondary data to locate hotspots and rank options; a full LCA uses primary data and complete system boundaries for defensible, audit-ready results. Start with a screening approach to find what matters, then deepen only where the decision needs it.

Nuvio Planet provides pre-built, customizable templates for specific systems, including broiler meat, dairy, pork, animal feed and eggs, all based on industry-standard life cycle analysis. You can add or remove metrics so each model reflects how your operation actually works.

Nuvio Planet is built for the teams who make decisions across agrifood value chains, from feed mills and feed-additive producers to integrators and the brands they supply. Anyone who needs to weigh cost, performance and environmental impact together will find it useful.
