Driving Forces

•          Fertiliser consumption

•          Pesticide consumption

•          Water use

•          Energy use

•          Topological change

•          Cropping / livestock patterns

•          Management practices

•          Intensification / extensification

•          Specialisation / diversification

•          Marginalisation

Pressures

Soil surface nutrient balance

Methane (CH4) emissions

Pesticide soil contamination

Water contamination

Ground water abstraction

Soil erosion

Land cover change

Genetic diversity

High nature value (farming) areas

•          Renewable energy production

State

•          Species richness

•          Soil quality

•          Nitrates / pesticides in water

•          Ground water levels

•          Landscape state

Impact

•          Impact on habitats and biodiversity

•          Share of agriculture in:

•               - GHG emissions

•               - Nitrate contamination

•               - Water use

      Impact on landscape diversity
