GaBi '14 databases (aka SP27) are now shipped as integrated LCI database in Umberto NXT LCA and Umberto NXT Universal, for those customers who have signed up for GaBi database licenses. Existing users receive the update directly.

Also, if you are doing a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) study in the agricultural sector the GaBi Extension Database XX: Food & Feed might be worth a look. The new database includes over 350 datasets representing the most commonly used food and feed products in different geographical regions:

• Crops and animals, e.g. corn, tapioca, rapeseeds, beef, sheep
• Manufacturing of food products (incl. dairy, starch, and grain mill products, sugar, meat, chocolate, animal feed, vegetable and animal oils, etc.) and by-products
• European production and import mixes for major commodities like sugar beet, rapeseed, corn, soybeans and wheat
