The use of socio‐economic and environmental indicators in assessing the effectiveness of EU agri‐environmental policy

Since the mid‐1980s, ‘indicators’ have been increasingly suggested as a possible means to evaluate the effectiveness of various policy mechanisms. In this paper, we shed some critical light on the use of indicators, by investigating in detail the advantages and disadvantages of using the indicator approach in the assessment of agri‐environmental policy effectiveness in the European Union. We review the theoretical and conceptual bases of the indicator approach, highlighting the complexity of identifying appropriate indicators and the difficulties in identifying means to ‘measure’ them. We analyse four levels of indicators (uptake, output, actor‐related and procedural indicators), and argue that, while indicators continue to have a central role to play in the evaluation of European agri‐environmental policy, that role is essentially limited and the notion of what constitutes an indicator needs to be thoroughly re‐examined.

From experimental research to an on‐farm tool for participatory monitoring and evaluation: an assessment of soil erosion risk in organic olive orchards

et al. 2007

The conservation of soil in agricultural systems prone to erosion can occur as a result of conscientious soil management practices by individual farmers. Although soil is one of the world's most important and highly threatened natural resources, and should be among the top priorities in organic agriculture, soil management practices and the effect of those practices on erosion risk are rarely, if ever, taken into account as a part of organic certification. In order to fulfil the need for a tool to monitor soil erosion in organic olive orchards in Southern Spain, we have developed a methodology that assesses erosion risk through an easy to use, illustrated erosion risk field manual to be used by farmers, inspectors for certifying agencies and field technicians. The methodology developed for the assessment is based on a simplified version of the Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE), combined with an evaluation of key visual symptoms of soil erosion. The methodology is described, and the results from use of the assessment in the field and in workshops with farmers are presented. The potential for use of the methodology for other crops and in other regions is discussed and also the future relevance of farmer-oriented tools in the context of changing regulations within the common agricultural policy of the European Union.
