Agroecology and Environment

The environment is adversely affected by the agricultural use of natural resources as well as by ecosystem services. The RD records and models these impacts, and describes the need for action to minimise them. LCAs and sustainability assessments enable the evaluation of options for the future direction of agriculture.
