Summary

This conference paper addresses a methodological gap in communicating uncertainty within triangular trade-off frameworks commonly used to assess sustainable agriculture systems. The authors present visualisation approaches designed to transparently represent the inherent uncertainties in simultaneously measuring and comparing three competing sustainability objectives. The contribution advances the scientific robustness and clarity of agricultural trade-off assessments.

UK applicability

The visualisation methods would be applicable to UK agricultural assessments and policy evaluations that employ triangular trade-off frameworks, particularly in contexts where balancing environmental, economic and social sustainability objectives requires transparent uncertainty communication.

Key measures

Uncertainty visualisation techniques; trade-off triangle assessment frameworks; representation methods for multi-objective sustainability evaluation

Outcomes reported

The study presents visualisation approaches for representing uncertainty in triangular trade-off frameworks used to assess sustainable agriculture systems. The work demonstrates how to communicate inherent uncertainties when simultaneously evaluating three competing sustainability objectives.
