Monitoring the impact of agriculture on the natural asset base and environmental quality of life

Chapter 4 focuses on the group of indicators relating to the natural asset base and the environmental quality of life. It examines the role that availability and the quality of freshwater, biological diversity and ecosystems, and the productivity of land and soil resources play in the development of green growth in agriculture. Due to data and methodological issues, no indicator that captures the impact of the environment on people’s quality of life is proposed.
