(24a) Further steps to enhance the sustainability of agriculture would be beneficial. Greater emphasis should be given to improving soil quality through the use of rotations, legumes, green manure and integrated crop-livestock systems. The use and pollution of water could be reduced by rearing animals in mixed and grazing systems rather than in industrial systems. Biodiversity could be promoted by the adoption of less intensified farming.
