Abstract
⺠A new approach towards weighting in life cycle assessment is proposed. ⺠The safe planetary boundaries are used as a base for the weighting factors. ⺠The weighting factors are applied to a case study comparing various farming systems. ⺠An integrated farming system had the lowest total environmental impact score. ⺠Biodiversity category had the highest impact on the uncertainty of the results.
