Description of the boundary system of camelina intercropping systems

Summary

All agricultural production, including organic, affects the environment. Therefore, within the SCOOP project we will answer, through multi-criterial analysis, to the question: how intercropping systems with camelina influence the sustainability in terms of energy, environmental and economic categories. The scope of the research will include analysis of energy efficiency, life cycle assessment (LCA) and life cycle cost (LCC) assessment, including external environmental cost. Biodiversity studies will be performed based on the results of weeds and pest analysis carried out in T2.4. In the final stage all the results will be used to carry out the integrated sustainability assessment of camelina intercropping systems. The main objective of this report is to describe boundary system and functional units of LCA and LCC assessment of selected camelina intercropping systems.
