Summary

The FarmLCA, which comprises two parts: 1) a farm system model for interactions of crops, livestock, trees and soils and 2) a coupled LCA of on- and off-farm environmental impacts. To demonstrate the model we assess a typical mixed farm in Scotland, UK, producing arable crops and beef, and show the effect of agro-ecological innovations introduced on that farm.
