As its main purpose, this book would like to represent a useful reference for all engineers, researchers and high-level students who might be interested in applying LCA as an effective tool for their professional and/or academic activities in the agro-engineering field. In particular, an appropriate and systematic use of LCA methodology could be of interest for those farmers who are determined to follow a different approach in the working chain of their products, pursuing a target of ‘‘total quality’’. Actually, this requirement has become more and more essential for
being competitive on global markets, which more and more often require a certification of quality taking into account energy consumptions and environmental impacts associated with each product. On the agro-industrial side, too, LCA could be useful to managers for establishing and controlling process optimization.
Keeping in mind these basic concepts, which represent one of the most important research activities of the group, especially for Tuscany farms, the authors have produced this book, which provides a wide-ranging view on the application of both MCA and LCA to different contexts in agriculture.
