Abstract
Until the mid-20th century, there was perceived to be relatively little conflict between agricultural and environmental objectives in Europe other than the large scale soil erosion which has occurred, particularly in parts of the Mediterranean (Baldock and Lowe, 2000). This changed with the advent of technological transformations, which included the large scale use of inorganic fertilisers, pesticides, and the emergence of intensive livestock farms.
