EIP-AGRI Workshop Tools for environmental farm performance

The EIP-AGRI workshop 'Tools for environmental farm performance' took place on Tuesday 7 and Wednesday 8 February 2017 in Zagreb, Croatia. 

The final report of this Workshop has been published.

The EIP-AGRI workshop on 'Tools for environmental farm performance' aims to stimulate the uptake of the broad range of sustainability tools involving environmental assessments that have already been developed and tested in various projects and initiatives by farmers. Farmers may have an interest in working with tools that provide information on the environmental sustainability of the farm for different reasons. This may be out of direct interest, for reasons that are food chain related, or to comply with environmental legislation. It is therefore a good opportunity to bring farmers together with developers and other users of sustainability tools, to share and learn from their growing practical experience and thereby strengthen their benefits.
