Information by environmental theme
OECD trends of environmental conditions related to agriculture are examined across nine themes since 1990 (see chapter 1 of the Main Report). Each theme has a common structure (except the first) as follows:
1. Agricultural production and land
2. Nutrients (nitrogen and phosphorus balances)
3. Pesticides (use and risks)
4. Energy (direct on-farm consumption)
5. Soil (water and wind erosion)
6. Water (use and quality)
7. Air (ammonia, methyl bromide use, greenhouse gas emissions)
8. Biodiversity (genetic, wild species and ecosystem diversity)
9. Farm management (nutrients, pests, soil, water, biodiversity and organic)
The environmental performance for each of 30 OECD member countries, plus an overview of the European Union, since 1990 are available below and are structured as follows
The text for all 30 countries and the EU summary are available in English and French, while summaries are also available for 20 countries in their respective national languages.
