  • Surface water quality

  • Soil compaction
  • Soil organic carbon
  • Water use efficiency

Strategic Actions

  • Promote local success stories.
  • Identify how sustainable practices can increase food quality.
  • Reduce financial risk exposure through sustainable land use.
  • Develop and promote appropriate technology, tools and practices for sustainable land use management.
