Life cycle assessment (LCA) is increasingly used to assess the ecological sustainability of food production systems, including in agriculture. The environmental assessment found that water use was critical for the system`s performance in terms of production and impacts. Using LCA, Urbano et_al compared eight scenarios of tomato production for urban consumption, finding, unexpectedly, that zero-kilometer culture in greenhouses showed the worst environmental performance, and . . .
