Evaluation of the environmental impacts of apple production using Life Cycle Assessment (LCA): Case study in New Zealand

2006-06-01

Abstract excerpt

In order to evaluate alternative agricultural production methods that may reduce environmental impacts, assessment tools are required that measure the consequences of changing systems. This paper explores the usefulness of Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) in identifying environmental improvement opportunities in horticultural systems. LCA has been applied to three commercial apple (Malus x domestica, Borkh.) orchards a...
