Highlights A wheat trade analysis is done in Europe. The optimization of wheat transportation in Europe avoids 277,000 trips. The average distance per trip with the optimization is increased by 93km. 121,175tones of CO2 savings are obtained with the optimization.

    Abstract Numerous Life Cycle Analysis of bread pointed out that wheat production and transportation have important impacts on the environment. But wheat is grown all around the world and it is not always consumed where it is produced. In this paper an analysis of the wheat movements around Europe is done, taking special attention on the Spanish situation. An optimization of wheat exchanges is done eliminating the import–export overlapping. This optimization entails a reduction of the number of trips by 34% and the CO2 emissions reduction due to transportation is calculated to be 121.175tones. Consequently less trips, fewer trucks, less traffic and lower emissions that brings economic, social and environmental benefits.
