Description

Dated: February 2014

Authors: Kerry Kirwan , Marco Cinelli , Stuart Coles

Summary: An academic review of different methodologies used to create sustainability assessment tools, focusing on 5 specific methods which could be used to develop agroecological tools

Relevance to CCRP:  Moderate. The criteria in the paper set out for determining whether the methodology is able to provide a relevant assessment is an extremely relevant tool to consider when evaluating the use of any existing assessment tool, or when developing a new one. However, many of the technical proposals of the paper itself are likely beyond the scope of what individual CCRP projects would find useful.
