Abstract: There is a pressing need to deal with the sustainability of agricultural management practices to adapt and mitigate the impacts of climate change on agriculture, while ensuring the food provision. Sustainable intensification emerges as a feasible alternative while the sustainability assessment of agriculture is still unclear in the scientific literature. The most widely comprehensive assessment tools are the Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) and the Ecosystem Services (ES) approaches, being them frequently employed isolated. Despite there are several proposals to integrate both approaches, none of them are focus on economic valuation for policy analysis.
