USING BIOLOGICAL AND LAND USE INFORMATION TO DEVELOP INDICATORS OF HABITAT AVAILABILITY ON FARMLAND

摘要

Under the auspices of the OECD Joint Working Party on Agriculture and Environment (JWP), the OECD Secretariat and many Member countries are developing environmental indicators for agriculture (AEIs) to both inform and support the agri-environmental policy process. At a workshop held in September 1998 in York (UK), OECD countries discussed how certain AEIs might be defined and measured (OECD, 1999). Work continues through the JWP to advance the development of AEIs.
