The agricultural sector causes a lot of environmental burdens due to excessive use of chemical fertilizers and agricultural chemicals. In recent years, LCA（Life Cycle Assessment）has been used for estimating environmental burdens. LCA evaluates the environmental impacts throughout a product's life cycle. Assessing the environmental burdens by using LCA is considered to be helpful to mitigate environmental problems of the agricultural sector. The purpose of this paper is to organize LCA research materials, and to touch on the future view.
