Summary: The SustainFARM Public Goods Tool helps farmers assess the sustainability of their farming system within a 12-month period. It can also be used as a decision support tool for farmers and land managers, to help them to identify the possible impacts of changing their system on performance across the full range of sustainability indictors. The assessment takes a broad approach, using information that a farmer would have in their farm records already. It takes between 30 minutes and an hour to complete, depending on the complexity of the farm. It assesses a farm on a number of areas (spurs) which may be impacted by agricultural management practices and are related to public goods such as water quality, air quality, etc.
Dimensions Used: Biodiversity; Landscape and Heritage; Soil Management; Water Management; Nutrient Management; Energy and Carbon; Food Security; Agricultural Systems Diversity; Social Capital; Farm Business Resilience; Animal Health and Welfare
Methodology: Each spur is assessed by asking questions based on a number of key “activities”. Answers are scored on a scale between 1 (poor) and 5 (excellent) and an overall score given for each spur. Results are captured on a radar diagram (Figure 1) to give an instant visual overview of the sustainability of the farm. **Usage**: Excel sheet for data entry. Results mostly displayed through radar charts.
Relevance to CCRP: Low. Tool was designed explicitly for a European context. However many ideas within the tool for indicators may also be relevant to be considered for CCRP tools.
