Agricultural Life-Cycle-Assessment

Edit

Agricultural life cycle assessment (Agri-LCA) is a systematic approach to evaluating the environmental and social impacts associated with agricultural production systems throughout their life cycles, from the extraction of input materials and agricultural production to processing, distribution, consumption, and end-of-life management [1][2]. It applies life cycle assessment (LCA) principles to agricultural activities, considering factors such as land and water use, energy consumption, greenhouse gas emissions, resource depletion, and waste generation. When extended to social dimensions, Agri-LCA also examines the implications of agricultural production and supply chains for workers, rural communities, consumers, and other stakeholders. Demographic characteristics, including population distribution, household structure, and labor composition, may inform the assessment of social impacts and the identification of affected groups [3]. By integrating life cycle perspectives with agricultural and socioeconomic data, Agri-LCA provides a framework for comparing production systems and examining the sustainability implications of agricultural practices and policies[4].
