TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a framework for the assessment of land use impacts in the context of the UNEP-SETAC Life Cycle Impact Assessment (LCIA) framework, which includes the reference for occupation impacts, the impact pathways to be included in the analysis, the units of measure in the impact mechanism (land use interventions to impacts), and bio-geographical differentiation.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the environmental impacts of two long-term farming system experiments: the DOC experiment comparing bio-dynamic, bio-organic and conventional/integrated farming and the “Burgrain” experiment encompassing integrated intensive, integrated extensive and organic production.

TL;DR: In this article, a comprehensive life cycle assessment (LCA) study was carried out for Swiss arable cropping and forage production systems in three long-term experiments (DOC experiment comparing bio-dynamic, bio-organic and conventional farming, the Burgrain experiment including integrated intensive, integrated extensive and organic systems and the Oberacker experiment with conventional ploughing and no-till soil cultivation, are considered in the LCA study.

TL;DR: In this paper, the main types of tomato production, heated, year-round production in plastic houses or glasshouses, and seasonal production under polytunnel, were compared with data from other temperate production regions.

TL;DR: In this article, the variability in global warming potential of 27 crops using the modular extrapolation of agricultural life cycle assessment (MEXALCA) method, a modular, geographical extrapolation method for crop lifecycle assessment, was evaluated.
