Abstract

A typology is proposed to distinguish among three quite different types and applications for pesticide impact assessment tools (which are also known as “pesticide risk indicators”): (1) decision support systems for farmers and other property managers; (2) “ecolabeling” or “green labeling” systems designed to influence consumer opinion and market behavior; and (3) indicators of impact and risk used by governments, industry and academia to assess policies and programs. These types are differentiated by their objectives, decision makers, factors or variables considered, arena of activity, scale and unit of analysis, handling of an economic dimension, format of results, and method or approach.
