Fig. 1: Heterogeneity in the expected effects of a global transformation of agricultural pest management across indicators.
From: Expected effects of a global transformation of agricultural pest management
The Figure shows the heterogeneity in expected effects of a global transformation to sustainable pest management. Data comes from a global survey on experts (N = 517). The experts assessed the potential effects of the reduction of pesticide use and transformation to sustainable pest management in relation to the 24 indicators across five domains using a scale from 10 to +10, respectively. Colored bars depict the deviation from the global means (mean of all responses) for all indicators in percent and black error bars depict 95% confidence intervals per indicator, respectively. The following symbols indicate the five indicator domains (clockwise from bottom right): steaming bowl (food and nutrition security), plant with leaves (environment), bag of money and wheat stalk (economy and farmer livelihood), people shaking hands (social security and equality), and diagram with a heart (human health). Icons’ source: OCHA. PM stands for “Pest Management”.
