Abstract

The French “Ecophyto 2018” program calls for a 50% reduction in pesticide use. Local authorities are required to design cost-effective measures to minimize the impact of farmers’ pesticides on water resources. A successful implementation of these new measures can only be achieved through a better understanding of the interactions between water, land use and the environment. One way of doing this is to calculate pesticide pressure and agro-environmental indicators (AEIs). However, this approach requires an effective information system that can process both the characteristics of the river basin and the agricultural activities using at least two embedded scales: the scale of the small agricultural catchment for action by farmers and the scale of a larger watershed for public decision making.
