Life cycle assessment of bean production in the Prespa National Park, Greece

摘要: Abstract The aim of this cradle-to-farm-gate LCA study is the comparison impacts generated by different modes cultivation beans in Prespa National Park Greece. More specifically, three bean varieties have been assessed based on practices: conventional, integrated and organic. Moreover, practices are compared two functional units, namely a mass an area unit. inventory compiled from raw agricultural data for year 2008, extracted multiple producers involved pilot labelling programme. Impact assessment was performed using CML baseline 2000 method. results our analysis indicate that high input yield environmentally preferable if we base mass-based unit, while lower yielding variety land use. practice among three, terms regional acidification eutrophication global warming potential. On other hand, organic leads to protection abiotic resources. Electricity required irrigation major affects environmental followed application sheep manure.
