Here, we evaluated the nutrient balance, GHG and Nr emissions in China’s major potato-growing regions using statistical data between 2011 to 2021 and explored nutrient optimization strategies towards 2060. Adopting a cradle-to-farm gate Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) approach to quantify environmental footprints associated with agricultural materials inputs (synthetic fertilizers, manure, electricity, fuel, films, pesticides) and crop growth stages. Our results indicated that both nutrient inputs and environmental footprints per hectare increased from 2011 to 2021.
