| Abstract: | Background, aim and scope Life cycle assessment (LCA) enables the objective assessment of global environmental burdens associated with the life cycle
of a product or a production system. One of the main weaknesses of LCA is that, as yet, there is no scientific agreement on
the assessment methods for land-use related impacts, which results in either the exclusion or the lack of assessment of local
environmental impacts related to land use. The inclusion of the desertification impact in LCA studies of any human activity
can be important in high-desertification risk regions. |
