“…The functional unit describes the primary functions fulfilled by a product system, and indicates how much of this function is to be considered in the LCA study [8]. Thus, the functional unit is used as a reference when quantifying input and output data in the inventory analysis of an LCA study.…”

“…Recently, some researchers have quantified the environmental impacts of a multitude of agricultural products [6,7]. Brentrup et al [8] adopted LCA methodology to appraise sugar beet production using different forms of nitrogen fertilizer. Nie et al [9] analyzed the effects of different cropping systems using the LCA method.…”

“…Em geral, nas metodologias de avaliação ambiental que contemplam essa etapa, é comum os pesquisadores atribuírem à obtenção de dados físicos as maiores dificuldades encontradas e elevado tempo para conclusão. Por exemplo, na metodologia LCA, em que a obtenção de inventário de dados é imprescindível para a sua aplicação, Burgess e Brennan (2001) e Brentrup et al (2001) apontaram essa etapa como sendo a mais problemática, principalmente se na análise do processo existirem correntes gasosas. Assim, a utilização de índices de desempenho ambiental, conforme a proposta de Siracusa, La Rosa e Sterlini (2004), permitiu simplificar esta análise, uma vez que dispensa a etapa de obtenção de dados físicos e econômicos.…”
