Online seminar: Assessing sustainability at the farm scale: Introducing the SMART-Farm Tool and its application to diversified farming in the DiverIMPACTS project

Sustainability is frequently defined as meeting the needs of the present generation without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. Sustainability assessment and reporting has become mainstream for private and public institutions, based on the expanding application of economic, environmental and social indicators to the production and consumption of goods and services.

In agriculture, sustainability assessment methods have been developing for decades, driven by demand from policy makers and consumers. Multiple tools exist for sustainability assessment that operate at different levels and have various strengths and weaknesses. In the DiverIMPACTS project, all scales are being explored, from the cropping system to the farm and value chain.

This online seminar led by Micheal Curran from FiBL, introduces farm-level sustainability assessment using the SMART-Farm Tool. The tool will be introduced, and compared briefly with similar tools in terms of applicability, indicator set, criteria covered, method etc. Then the adaptation of SMART for DiverIMPACTS will be presented and the workflow for conducting an assessment will be explained for the benefit of Case Studies interested in farm-level assessment. The online seminar will end with a brief overview of expected results delivered to CSs and to farms engaged in the assessment.
