How does low-input crop management perform? Economic, environmental and social assessment data on different arable crop management strategies in France

We analysed public raw data from field surveys and elicited knowledge from agricultural advisors to update data about low-input arable crop management performances in France. This dataset includes information about 26 arable crops in 10 zones covering the entire territory of metropolitan France. We differentiated five crop management strategies, ranging from conventional, which is fully input-reliant farming, to organic farming, through integrated pest management and agroecology. Typical crop management routes are given for each situation and assessed through a set of 30 economic, environmental and social performance indicators. This data could be useful to support public decision making regarding low-input agriculture.
