F.  aLife-cycle assessment of the soybean-sunflower production system in the Brazilian Cerrado.  c2017  aIn the Cerrado (Brazilian savanna), sunflower comes mostly from a cropping system where its seeding follows soybean harvest. Soybean has a much higher economic value, but this association with sunflower reduces the environmental impacts from both crops by sharing resources. This study performed a life-cycle assessment (LCA) of the soybean-sunflower cropping system, identified its hotspots, and compared its environmental performance with two hypothetical monocultures, in order to corroborate its benefits.  aCropping systems  aProduction technology  aSoybeans  aCerrado  aGirassol  aHelianthus Annuus  aPlanta oleaginosa  aSoja1 aDIAS, F.
