Abstract

Understanding and measuring the sustainability of farms is key to evaluating progress towards policy goals for a more sustainable agriculture. In the LIFT project, a farm typology was developed to classify farms according to their ecological performance, based on farm-level variables from the Farm Accountancy Data Network (FADN). Selected variables are used to assess three key ecological dimensions of farming: total input intensity; degree of circularity (reliance on own-produced versus external inputs); and avoidance of the use of specific inputs of concern for the environment and consumers. The combination of these aspects is considered as a measure of the farm proximity to a full agroecological approach. The typology allows comparison of farms across farm types, countries and years. We briefly present the method and discuss two key aspects: 1) how the proposed farm typology can inform policymaking in the context of a new EU policy framework; 2) how it can inform the foreseen transformation of the FADN into a Farm Sustainability Data Network (FSDN). We suggest that the use of a typology approach under the new FSDN provides useful information on the impacts of the implementation of agroecological practices with an acceptable additional effort in terms of data collection.

欧盟农场采用生态农业实践:泛欧类型学
了解和衡量农场的可持续性是评估实现更可持续农业政策目标进展情况的关键。在LIFT项目中,根据农场会计数据网络(FADN)中的农场级变量,开发了一种农场类型学,根据农场的生态表现对农场进行分类。选定的变量用于评估农业的三个关键生态维度:总投入强度;循环程度(依赖自身生产与外部投入);以及避免使用对环境和消费者关心的具体投入。这些方面的结合被认为是衡量农场接近全面农业生态方法的一种方法。该类型允许对不同农场类型、国家和年份的农场进行比较。我们简要介绍了该方法,并讨论了两个关键方面:1)在新的欧盟政策框架下,拟议的农场类型如何为决策提供信息;2) 它如何为FADN向农场可持续发展数据网络(FSDN)的预期转变提供信息。我们建议,在新的FSDN下使用类型学方法,可以提供关于实施农业生态实践的影响的有用信息,并在数据收集方面付出可接受的额外努力。

期刊介绍: EuroChoices is a full colour, peer reviewed, outreach journal of topical European agri-food and rural resource issues, published three times a year in April, August and December. Its main aim is to bring current research and policy deliberations on agri-food and rural resource issues to a wide readership, both technical & non-technical. The need for this is clear - there are great changes afoot in the European and global agri-food industries and rural areas, which are of enormous impact and concern to society. The issues which underlie present deliberations in the policy and private sectors are complex and, until now, normally expressed in impenetrable technical language.
