A multi-criteria tool for jointly assessing the sustainability and resilience of dairy farms
Résumé
The aim of this study was to create and apply a tool for jointly assessing the sustainability and resilience of dairy farms.
The study was conducted in collaboration with a group of farmers and advisers promoting the use of grass in dairy farms (CEDAPA). A literature review and participatory workshops were employed to create a conceptual framework on sustainability and resilience concepts. This framework was transformed into a tool comprising criteria and indicators, using the DEX method.
23 farms were assessed with the tool, 15 of which achieved satisfactory resilience and sustainability performances. Three production strategies were identified in the group of 23 farms and also in the group with satisfactory resilience and sustainability performances. This indicates that the three production strategies were capable of achieving satisfactory levels of sustainability and resilience.
