This FEFTS contributes to improve the energy profiles of farming systems:Environmental
The application of this FEFTS indirectly reduces fossil energy use, in terms of:- Fertilizer reduction
- Pesticide reduction
Socioeconomic
The application of this FEFTS contributes to cost reductions of farming systems:Keep in mind that this assessment is subjective, based on publicly available information.
