Concluding remarks: lessons learned…<br />
• Agri-Environmental Indicators can…<br />
facilitate the inclusion of measurable environmental goals <strong>and</strong> targets in policies<br />
provide a means of evaluating policies effectiveness <strong>and</strong> to report on progress<br />
help target policy implementation at areas <strong>and</strong> environmental issues most in need<br />
of attention<br />

help estimate alternative policy outcomes <strong>and</strong> levels of effort needed to achieve<br />
these<br />
provide information for setting meaningful <strong>and</strong> achievable targets<br />

indicators must be amenable to modeling<br />
indicators <strong>and</strong> modeling systems must be based on sound science, adequate <strong>and</strong><br />
valid data, to be accepted by stakeholders<br />
a long-term institutional commitment to the use of indicators <strong>and</strong> their ongoing<br />
improvement is highly desirable
