Concluding remarks: limitations to this work…<br />

• Incomplete <strong>and</strong> still evolving scientific knowledge of the interaction of<br />

agriculture with the environment<br />

• Uncertainty regarding the precision or accuracy of indicator model estimates<br />

Limitations concerning the scope of agricultural practices captured by<br />

indicator models (reliability is unknown, uncertainty not quantified)<br />

• Data availability poses constraints in modeling<br />

Scaling Issues – Indicators based on models validated at field scale; scaling<br />

to National, Provincial <strong>and</strong> Regional levels subject to some uncertainty<br />

• Inconsistency between the spatial basis of indicator models <strong>and</strong> economic<br />

models, which currently precludes setting environmental targets at subprovincial<br />

levels.
