Relevance of farm-scale indicators and tools for farmers to assess sustainability of their mixed crop-ruminant livestock systems by Leite, Fernanda Figueiredo Granja Dorilêo, Faverin, Claudia, Ciganda, Verónica, Cristobal Carballo, Omar, dos Reis, Julio Cesar, Eugène, Maguy, Fariña, Santiago, Hercher Pasteur, Jean, Monteiro, Alyce, Pastell, Matti, Recavarren, Paulo Mario, Romera, Alvaro, Rosanowski, Sarah, Tieri, Maria Paz, Aubry, Aurélie, Veysset, Patrick, Kenny, David, Vibart, Ronaldo

“…The study was successful in the assemblage of a suite of indicators comprising three dimensions of sustainability and the development of criteria to assess the usefulness of these indicators in crop-ruminant livestock systems in distinct agro-climatic regions across the globe. Except for ammonia emissions, indicators within the Emissions to air theme obtained high scores, as expected from mixed crop-ruminant systems in countries transitioning towards low emission production systems. …”
