322 Launch of the Sustainable Intensification Assessment Framework

Oral Session

ASA Section: Environmental Quality
The Sustainable Intensification Assessment Framework provides a set of indicators organized into five domains commonly considered as critical for sustainability, namely productivity, economic, environment, human condition and social domains. The primary purpose of the Sustainable Intensification Assessment Framework is to strengthen researchers’ ability to holistically assess the performance of an innovation in terms of the direct and indirect consequences in each domain. The indicators listed address smallholder farming contexts where agricultural production is closely linked with development goals such as alleviating poverty, avoiding land degradation, increasing food security and nutrition security, and supporting women’s empowerment.
