Abstract
Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) can support policy makers in the choice of the most effective measures to adapt
to climate change in crop production. A case study involving spring barley cultivation in Denmark under
changed climate conditions has been performed using primary data from future climate scenarios. We
developed and applied a 3-step procedure based on combined contribution, scenario and uncertainty
analyses. This approach can be useful to deal with uncertainty in scenario analysis for LCA of crop
production in a changed climate, when the goal of the study is to suggest strategies for adaptation of crop
cultivation practices towards low environmental impacts.
