Agri-Environment Indicators

Agri-Environment Indicators (AEIs) are essential tools for understanding the dynamic relationship between agriculture and the environment. They not only measure the environmental impact of agricultural activities but also highlight how ecosystems positively contribute to agricultural production and society.

This page provides a comprehensive list of AEIs across various themes monitored and reported by the CSO. These indicators capture key metrics related to the sustainability and environmental performance of agriculture, while also recognising the essential role of natural ecosystems in supporting agricultural productivity. For example, ecosystem services such as crop pollination by wild pollinators contribute significantly to crop yields.

Each indicator below provides direct access to relevant CSO statistical releases or to our open data portal, data.cso.ie (PxStat), ensuring transparency and accessibility.
