摘要: Purpose The agricultural sector fulfils several functions such as the production of food energy and landscape conservation. An equilibrium between economic development environmental protection should be found research aid political decision-making. In recent years, great efforts have been made to assess implications changes in both policies. Life cycle assessment (LCA) has extended by cost social parameters.

This approach is applied this paper order compare an increased support organic farming with specific policy measures, focusing on resulting impacts socioeconomic indicators.
