Table C: Systemic approach in crop advice
Holistic (or 'systemic') approach of the crop system in individual advice
| Number | Resources and tools | Context of advisory | Usability of the resource | Examples |
| C1 | National or regional project for better and reduced use of pesticides | Information device by web, advertising, courses and mainly one-to-one advising at the farm. The aim is changing behaviour by knowledge | Farmers are involved as much as possible (as membership in some countries). They receive 1-2 advising sessions a year. Advising subjects are chosen by farmer from a 'menu'. | Swedish: Information in the project Grab Plant Protection |
| C2 | Common analyses of weak point by plant protection, water and environment | Adviser and farmer on a common concept for measures. These farms can be implemented as demonstration farms | The approach contributes to reducing the risks for surface waters. It gives value to other financial incentive measures | |
| C3 | Holistic approaches of the crop system in personal advice to reduce pesticide use | Farmers and advisers put different knowledge together in farm monitoring and individual advice | Practice and theoretical knowledge improves advisory on condition of trust between farmer and adviser, it's necessary to have goodwill to spread knowledge. | |
| C4 | Clear Vision interview about issues asked by the farmer himself | Through face-to-face work, adviser and farmer co-construct an action plan to drive change in the farming system. | This tool is not specific to pest control. Where relevant, it can consider systematically weed issues, and help to understand where the real difficulties and resistance are. | English: see New Advisers project Outcome 7 and video tutorial |
