A novel technique for identifying environmental outcomes from agricultural practices
There are a wide range of techniques that can be used for evaluating environmental impacts of agriculture, but they have not previously been used to identify the contribution individual farming activities make towards environmental outcomes or for prioritising activities to ensure maximum benefits. This paper reports a novel technique for identifying how different activities influence environmental outcomes. The methodology is based upon traditio…
A prototype framework for assessing risks to soil functions
The development and use of farm‐level indicators in England
In recent years the concept of ‘sustainability indicators’ has become important within agricultural policy development. However, as policy tools, many indicators are highly technical in nature and often appear relevant only at national level. Consequently, the key messages underpinning the indicators can easily become lost at farm level. In order to drive progress towards sustainability it is important to define indicators at a level that is mean…
A strategic environmental assessment method for agricultural policy in the UK
Scoring and ranking farmland conservation activities to evaluate environmental performance and encourage sustainable farming
The University of Hertfordshire, in collaboration with two UK agricultural establishments, ADAS and IACR‒Rothamsted, is developing a computerised decision support system for environmental management of arable agriculture. Part of this system is aimed towards encouraging sound farmland conservation to protect existing plants and animals, to encourage greater biodiversity and to help the farming community adopt more sustainable practices. The softw…
Effectiveness of environmental performance measures in ensuring sustainable development
If businesses are to contribute to green sustainable development, then a method of measuring progress is essential. Accounting methods need to be used that indicate to the organization and the general public the progress of the business towards sustainability. Sustainability, by some definitions, refers to the degradation or depletion of natural resources, i.e. direct and indirect environmental effects. For example, consider the effect of pestici…
