| Description: | General changes in crop and livestock production systems, e.g. more efficient production methods to create higher production per unit of input, or other systems like organic farming |
| Is implemented in: | Agricultural economy and forestry |
Associated policy response component
Component: Land and biodiversity policies
Page: Land and biodiversity policies/Agricultural production system
Effects of this policy intervention on components
Component: Agricultural economy and forestry
Effect : Effect of this bunch of interventions is a change in the relation between the use of external inputs (capital), land and labour. For livestock systems the intervention can result in the use of more feed instead of grazing. For cropping systems it could, for example, express the use of more fertilizer to increase yields (closing the yield gap).
Component: Nutrient balances
Effect : intervention may be increased fertilizer use, ...
Component: Hydrological cycle
Effect : Intervention may be irrigation ....
Component: Aquatic biodiversity
Effect : On one hand the increase of productivity increases nutrient leaching to water bodies, on the other hand asmaller agricultural area is needed, reducing the pressures from agriculture.
Component: Terrestrial biodiversity
Effect : Impacts terrestrial biodiversity in two ways: 1) a smaller agricultural area decrease habitat loss and 2) it increase intensity of the agricultural area and consequently the biodiversity value of those areas.
