Abstract:
Our idea aims to evolve agricultural models and face the growing challenge of resilience of agricultural systems. We offer a high environmental quality label that encourages farmers in developing countries to optimize inputs. It will encourage them to reduce the consumption of pesticides, fertilizers and irrigation water. At present, many decision support tools are widely used in modern agriculture, notably soil tensiometers to control irrigation, the nitrogen balance in the management of fertilization and the I-PHY indicator of pesticide use in the field of plant protection. The use of these three tools is inexpensive and technically affordable by farmers. We offer a framework based on these decision-making tools and agricultural techniques which will allow farmers to have a High Environmental Quality Label.
