Baseline measurement of the sustainability level of farms

Articles

One of the principle goals of the FABulous Farmers project is the implementation of FAB-measures on the pilotfarms and to evaluate these towards their ecological performance and economic profitability, with the aim of reducing the dependence on external inputs. This happens by making a sustainability evaluation at farm level (“taking a picture” of the farm in a defined way and at a precise moment!). The result of first sustainability evaluation at the project start could thus provide a baseline about the sustainability level on the farm and in the region. This allows to identify possible weak points on the farm and in the region as well as the comparison of regions in the project. On this basis, FAB-measures to be implemented in each region can be specifically adapted to the situation in the project region.
