Summary:  Response-Inducing Sustainability Evaluation (RISE) developed by Swiss researchers to evaluate sustainability at a farm level. *

Dimensions Used:Energy; Water; Soil; Biodiversity; Emissions; Plant Protection; Wastes and Residues; Cash Flow; Farm income; Investments; Local Economy; Social Situation Within each dimension there is a split between a "driving force" and a "state" differentiating between agroecoloigcal practices and evidence of an agroecological environment.

Methodology: Within each dimension a variety of measurements are needed and then compared to target scores. Indicators vary between subjective assessments, things which will need measurement and things which may be recorded or recalled by a farrmer.

Usage: Dedicated app produced for data entry and analysis. Results mostly displayed through radar charts.

Relevance to CCRP: Low. Indicators are determined from entirely non-CCRP contexts (Europe, Asia & North America). Values are converted to scores based on data from those non-CCRP contexts, therefore usage is not appropriate to be translated directly to the CCRP contexts.
