LimnanthesLa limnanthe est un genre de plantes herbacées annuelles communément appelées meadowfoam. Les sept espèces sont originaires des régions côtières et adjacentes (vallées intérieures, contreforts et les montagnes) de l'ouest de l'Amérique du Nord , où elles poussent généralement dans des habitats marécageux, tels que les marges des mares printanières. Certaines sont endémiques à la Californie.

| Résumé : |
On-farm activities are the highest contributor to global warming when thoroughly examining the complete meadowfoam seed oil supply chain. Natural Plant Products has chosen no-till farming, including shrewd use of herbicides and pesticides, in an effort to reduce petroleum usage, one of the highest environmental cost inputs of farming. Futhermore, hexane extraction is a more efficient process for capturing oil from the seeds of meadowfoam. For this reason, Natural Plant Products uses hexane in its manufacture of meadowfoam seed oil for the personal care industry. This study has shown that increasing manufacturing efficiency decreases the amount of diesel fuel burned. Given the fact that over 80% of meadowfoam seed oil's GWP comes from on-farm activities, reducing acreage necessarily reduces negative environmental outcomes occuring from farming of any crop that is grown. Is hexane extraction the "greener" option when looking at a transparent supply chain ? It is distinctly possible. |
