A prerequisite to improving the sustainability of agriculture are
reliable methods to identify and quantify types of environmental
impact. This collection summarises current research on the use of
life cycle assessment (LCA) and other modelling techniques to
measure and improve the sustainability of agriculture. Part 1 looks
at current best practice and key methodological challenges in life
cycle assessment. Part 2 reviews ways of modelling particular types
of impact, from nutrient and carbon cycles to freshwater balances,
energy use, pesticide use and biodiversity. Part 3 reviews the
environmental assessment and optimization of sectors such as crops,
ruminant and other livestock production as well as by-products.
Assessing the environmental impact of agriculture will be a
standard reference for researchers in agricultural and
environmental science concerned with understanding and mitigating
the environmental impact of agriculture.
