Environmental Impact of Irrigated Wheat Production System Using the life Cycle Assessment Technique (Case study: Ardabil province)

AbstractBackground and Objective: Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is an approach to study the environmental impacts of product production or activities that are calculated based on two indicators of resource consumption and emissions.One of the inputs using limitations in agriculture is environmental em...
