Social Life Cycle Assessment (SLCA) is a new tool for assessing the social impacts of products and services that has received attention in recent years, especially in the agricultural and food industries. By identifying and quantifying social consequences, including working conditions and impacts on local communities, this approach has helped producers and consumers make more informed decisions and has played a role in improving the quality of life of individuals. The publication of international guidelines in 2009 has standardized assessment processes and provided a suitable platform for scientific analysis. The present study was conducted in Rasht, Gilan Province in 1403 with the aim of investigating the social impacts of rice production based on the SLCA approach. The statistical population consisted of 458 samples from five stakeholder groups, including rice mill managers (78 people), rice mill workers (92 people), rice farmers (96 people), rice field workers (96 people), and the local community (96 people), who were randomly selected. In this study, four main social indicators were assessed: “human rights”, “working conditions”, “cultural heritage and community development”, and “socio-economic consequences”. The results showed that the “working conditions” indicator is in a poor state from the perspective of farm workers, and in the “cultural heritage and community development” indicator, the sub-indicator of preventing indigenous migration from the perspective of the local community needs to be improved. Also, freedom of association, collective bargaining, and social benefits are in an unfavorable state, and many workers are not sufficiently aware of their basic rights. This has led to labor-management disputes and reduced motivation. Ultimately, improving working conditions, reducing wage inequalities, and the gender gap can improve household welfare and social sustainability in the rice production sector.
