Summary

This conference abstract describes methodological work on visualising uncertainty within trade-off triangles, a decision-support tool used in sustainable agriculture to represent competing sustainability objectives. The paper appears to address a technical gap: how to communicate the limitations and variability of data underpinning sustainability assessments. The contribution is likely to be of interest to researchers and practitioners developing or using sustainability assessment frameworks.

UK applicability

The visualisation methods presented may be applicable to UK agricultural policy and farm advisory contexts, particularly where trade-off analysis informs decision-making on sustainability standards or land use. The approach could support transparent communication of uncertainty in UK farm assurance schemes or agri-environment policy.

Key measures

Visualisation approaches for uncertainty representation in trade-off triangles; sustainability trade-off dimensions (likely environmental, economic, social)

Outcomes reported

The study presents methods for visualising uncertainty in trade-off triangles—a framework commonly used to represent sustainability dimensions in agricultural systems. As suggested by the title, the work addresses technical and methodological challenges in communicating inherent uncertainties in multi-dimensional sustainability assessments.
