  1. Overview of the project structure and primary deliverables • AE-FOOTPRINT is an EU Specific Targeted Research Project with eight partner organisations from seven Member States: UK University of Reading (co-ordinator) • Ireland National University of Ireland, Dublin • Teagasc (Irish Agriculture & Food Development Authority) • Germany Institute für ländliche Strukturforschung, Johann Wolfgang Goethe Universität Frankfurt • Denmark Royal Veterinary and Agricultural University • Hungary Szent Istvan University • Greece Agricultural University of Athens • Finland MTT Agrifood Research • The aim of this research is the construction of a farm-level Agri-Environmental Footprint Index (AFI) that aggregates the measurement of appropriate agri-environmental indicators. • Example applications of the AFI could be to: • measure the changing environmental impact of individual farms within a particular context (farm type, geographical region) over time • produce a measure of environmental impact that can be aggregated across farms of similar context • enable comparison of the environmental impact of farms according to participation in agri-environmental schemes.
