IRENA's insight into agriculture

Through an analysis of 42 agri-environment indicators the report provides a comprehensive overview of the impact of the agriculture sector on water resources, soils, air quality and climate change as well as biodiversity and landscapes. The report is one of the outputs of the IRENA project (Indicator Reporting on the Integration of Environmental Concerns into Agriculture Policy), a joint exercise between the European Commission (DG Agriculture, DG Environment, Eurostat, Joint Research Centre) and the European Environment Agency.
