Description:
Can we "measure" sustainability? Should we use global or local sustainability metrics? Where should we place the bar to consider a farm sustainable? How should metrics be designed to better enhance learning, consciousness change, and sustainability action? This PhD dissertation addresses questions like these and presents a rationale for balancing the level of context-specificity and -generality of sustainability assessment frameworks to effectively and efficiently assess and incentivise the sustainability of agricultural systems ranging from food to bioenergy production.
