Summary
This methodological contribution, presented at the European Geosciences Union General Assembly in 2017, proposes approaches for incorporating and visualising uncertainty within trade-off triangle diagrams—a common tool in sustainable agriculture for balancing multiple objectives. The paper appears to address a practical gap in how uncertainty and variability in agricultural performance metrics are communicated to decision-makers. Such visualisation enhancements may improve the transparency and usability of sustainability assessment frameworks in farm planning and policy contexts.
UK applicability
The methodological framework could be applicable to UK farm advisory services and policy assessments that employ trade-off analysis tools. However, the applicability depends on adoption within UK agricultural decision-support systems and regulatory frameworks.
Key measures
Visualisation techniques for uncertainty representation in trade-off triangles; methods for communicating confidence and variability in multi-criteria agricultural assessments
Outcomes reported
The study presents methods for visualising uncertainty within trade-off triangle diagrams commonly used in sustainable agriculture planning. The work addresses how to represent and communicate the confidence intervals and variability associated with multi-objective agricultural sustainability assessments.
