Summary in the original language of the document

Life cycle assessment (LCA) gains increasingly in technical and legal importance. Research groups getting involved with this topic have to adhere to the technical standard. The definition of appropriate reference values, indicated as functional units, is of special importance in this concern. LCA is often derived from the industrial sector, where it is one-dimensionally treated via output of companies. In the agricultural sector at least the problem of land use management has additionally to be considered. This paper shows the development of a convenient solution for this purpose in agricultural consultancy.
