Reducing food poverty by increasing agricultural sustainability in developing countries (2003, background): “A further challenge is that this needs to happen without further damage to an environment increasingly harmed by existing agricultural practices (Pretty et al., 2000; Wood et al., 2000; McNeely and Scherr, 2001).”
Quantifying pesticide overuse from farmer and societal points of view: An application to Thailand (2013, methodology): “It is a cost-transfer approach that was calibrated from detailed actual cost studies carried out in Germany, the UK and the USA (Pretty et al., 2000; Pretty et al., 2001).”
The Hidden and External Costs of Pesticide Use (2016, background): “For instance, mandatory governmental regulations concerning pesticide use may require particular activities, e.g. water monitoring (Pretty et al. 2000 , 2001 ; Waibel et al. 1999 ), and equipment, e.g. water fi lters (Pimentel et al. 1992 , 1993a , b ; Pimentel and Greiner 1997 ; Pimentel and Hart…”
Farm costs and food miles: an assessment of the full cost of the UK weekly food basket (2005, methodology): “For this study, earlier data on UK farm externalities ( Pretty et al., 2001, 2000; Hartridge and Pearce, 2001; EA, 2002) were reassessed by incorporating new data on eutrophication, greenhouse gas costs, energy embodied in inputs, and BSE (Renwick et al., 2002; Pretty et al., 2003b; Defra, 2004).”
The Common Agricultural Policy, EU enlargement and the conservation of Europe's farmland birds (2002, background): “In addition, modern agriculture gives rise to substantial externalities (the environmental and health costs of agriculture) which, in the UK at least, are as high as or higher than total CAP spending (Pretty et al., 2000); the costs of the environmental problems caused by intensive agriculture are a”
Socio-economic factors in soil erosion and conservation (2003, background): “Pretty et al. (2000)list these for the UK in 1996 (Table 4).”
Exploring Farmers' Cultural Resistance to Voluntary Agri-environmental Schemes (2008, background): “This assumes that farmers have the right to carry out the most profit-maximising activity on their land, irrespective of the external costs and benefits of doing so (Pretty et al. 2000) and assumes a like-for-”
Is it possible to increase the sustainability of arable and ruminant agriculture by reducing inputs (2009, background): “The costs of pesticides212 to human health are thought to have been considerably underestimated as they do not213 include chronic effects (e.g. cancers) and acute effects may well be under reported214 (Pretty et al. 2000).”
Agricultural sustainability: concepts, principles and evidence (2008, background): “A better concept than extensive is one that centres on intensification of resources, making better use of existing resources (e.g. land, water, biodiversity) and technologies (Conway & Pretty 1991; Pretty et al. 2000; Buttel 2003; Tegtmeier & Duffy 2004).”
Estimating the environmental costs of soil erosion at multiple scales in Kenya using emergy synthesis (2006, background): “The literature is replete with efforts to internalize the external (i.e., borne by society, now or in the future, rather than by individuals whose activity engenders the problem— Loehman and Randhir, 1999; Pretty et al., 2000) costs of erosion by placing value on eroded soil (Crosson, 1986; Pimentel”
