EEA Report 2/2006 - Integration of environment into EU agriculture policy - the IRENA indicator-based assessment report
-
This report aims to provide a fair reflection of the
progress, the achievements and obstacles in the
integration of environmental concerns into EU
agriculture policy, based on indicators developed in
the IRENA operation (see Section 1.3). It also tackles
limitations to successful policy implementation
at Member State level, and challenges ahead.

Location of Argo floats in 2012
-
The broad-scale global array of temperature/salinity profiling floats, known as Argo, has already grown to be a major component of the ocean observing system. Argo is a standard to which other developing ocean observing systems can look to. For example, Argo offers ideas on various topics such as how to collaborate internationally, how to develop a data management system and how to change the way scientists think about collecting data. Deployments began in 2000 and continue today at the rate of about 800 per year.

-
The Global Map of Irrigation Areas was developed by combining sub-national irrigation statistics with geospatial information on the position and extent of irrigation schemes to compute the fraction of 5 arc minute cells that was equipped for irrigation, which is called irrigation density.

Soil — key message 2
-
Certain regions of Europe are affected by soil salinisation, acidification, landslides or desertification, with considerable economic and environmental consequences. Soil degradation is accelerating in many parts of Europe, exacerbated by human activities such as the inappropriate management of arable land, grassland and forest land.
