The production of tomatoes in our country can be done in any region, while commercially industrial type of tomato cultivation is concentrated in the Marmara and the Egean regions. The production of tomatoes is done in two different ways: greenhouse and field in traditional farming. The hydroponic tomato cultivation in landless farming, which is a new form of cultivation with the advanced technology, has also been added to the forms of production. The differentiation of production systems and the differentiation of input of production systems and therefore the differentiation of environmental impacts. In the framework of this study in our country, the aim of sustainable tomato production and tomato industry is to identify the environmental impacts of field tomato production using the method of life cycle assessment. In the study, a business that produces industrial tomatoes in the area of Bursa was addressed. The consumption of water that will be used in life cycle analysis as a result of negotiations with the company, energy consumption in all stages of production, the amount of organic and chemical fertilizers used, vehicle use, vehicle fuel consumption, etc. The information is collected. The latest products that arise from the production made using the inputs are taken as chemicals derived from tomatoes, emissions, waste and chemical fertilizers. The study was conducted by selecting the possible environmental impact categories that production could cause. The study has selected the global warming, acidification, quetrofikation, ozone assessment, climate change, ecosystem-based use, ecosystem-comprehensive, human poisoning and natural resource consumption impact categories. The study has achieved higher impact values than others in the selected influence categories of crossover, area use and total ecosystem influence categories. The high quantity of chemical and organic fertilizers applied in tomato farming in the field leads the environmental effects to exhaust. As a result, farmers should pay great attention to the quantities of chemical and organic fertilizers to be applied to their land, and the needs of the soil and plant and the weather conditions during the application period should also be observed and appropriate quantities should be applied to their land.
