Resumen
Descripción
The Immature Coconut Substrate (ICS) is a product innovation developed by EMBRAPA that acts as a physical support to seedling and to plant production in soilless cultivation. This work presents an environmental performance evaluation of the ICS innovation as cornpared to an existing technology that is a substitute product to the innovation as namely the Mature Coconut Substrate (MCS). A specific decision support multicriteria model, Ambitec-Life Cycle, was applied to evaluate the environrnental performance of the technologies along each phase of their life cycle, considering the vulnerability of the watersheds where each phase was located.
