Use mechanical or flame weeding on non-food crops (incl grass and forage) Reduce energy used for field operations Reduce direct energy use Reduction in fossil fuel use Decrease consumption of non-renewable energy sources
Reduce carbon dioxide emissions from combustion Reduce GHG emissions - carbon dioxide
Efficient use of resources - energy
Decrease farm costs Economic viability
Reduce the amount of synthetic herbicides on non-food crops (incl grass and forage) Reduce synthetic pesticide production Reduce indirect energy use Reduction in fossil fuel use Decrease consumption of non-renewable energy sources
Reduce carbon dioxide emissions from combustion Reduce GHG emissions - carbon dioxide
Decrease farm costs Economic viability
Efficient use of resources - energy
Lower losses of pesticides to terrestrial environments Lower exposure of pesticides that are toxic to birds Maintain and enhance biodiversity: Birds - reduce pesticide impacts
Reduce habitat degradation from pesticide exposure Maintain and enhance biodiversity: Birds - reduce pesticide impacts
Maintain and enhance biodiversity: Plants - reduce pesticide impacts
Lower exposure of pesticides that are toxic to non-target invertebrates Maintain and enhance biodiversity: Invertebrates - reduce pesticide impacts
Maintain (prevent/reverse decline in) population of pollinators Ensure crops are pollinated Maintain / improve crop yields Increase farm income Economic viability
Efficient use of resources - energy
Ensure food is available to meet consumer demand
Lower exposure of pesticides that are toxic to mammals Maintain and enhance biodiversity: Mammals - reduce pesticide impacts
Lower losses of pesticides to aquatic environments Lower exposure of pesticides that are toxic to aquatic fauna and flora Maintain and enhance biodiversity: Aquatic - reduce pesticide impacts
Lower exposure of Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals (EDCs) to aquatic fauna Maintain and enhance biodiversity: Aquatic - reduce pesticide impacts
