*Data:
**Pesticide usage data
**Data on cultivated areas and pastures for base year 2000
**Population data from the 2001 census.
**A PRELUDE scenario of land use change (termed Great Escape) developed at EE was used, applied for year 2035
*For the case study in Greece, two regional scenarios for year 2035 were employed; i.e. scenario A (reference or “business as usual”), where both the typology and the proportion of main crops were the same as in base case (year 2000), and scenario B where the typology of main crops was unchanged but their proportion was different as a result of policies and other conceivable influences (such as CAP policies, market forces, climatic change).
*For the case study in Gr. Britain, the assessment involved comparison of base year (2000) results with those from the enhanced PRELUDE, year 2035, scenario. As the number of AIs used in GB was too great to undertake a detailed analysis, the LAU2 level modelled pesticide amount was divided by the baseline crop area to derive a LAU2-specific application rate which was assumed to remain constant over the assessment period.
