Life cycle assessment

Farm-level life cycle assessment (LCA) is a tool for identifying the potential environmental impacts of farms and their products. The results of an LCA can significantly contribute to aligning a farm with quality leadership in production and marketing, as well as guiding and supporting measures related to climate protection and the sustainable use of resources. The LCA tool FarmLife (www.farmlife.at), developed in collaboration between HBLFA Raumberg-Gumpenstein and Agroscope, provides systematic strategies for achieving these goals and connects research, consulting, and practical application. The methods and applications included in the tool can be used for both organic and conventional farms and, as a comprehensive analytical instrument, contribute to optimizing ecological and economic efficiency in agriculture.
