Summary
This conference paper develops methodological approaches to visualising uncertainty within trade-off triangles, a widely used tool for navigating competing sustainability objectives in agricultural decision-making. As suggested by the title and EGU General Assembly context, the work addresses a gap in how practitioners and policymakers can interpret and communicate the confidence and variability associated with different sustainability scenarios. The contribution advances the technical and communicative utility of trade-off analysis frameworks, particularly where multiple sustainability goals must be balanced.
UK applicability
The methodological advances in uncertainty visualisation could enhance UK agricultural policy appraisal and farm-level decision-making, particularly where trade-offs between productivity, environmental, and socioeconomic objectives are evaluated. Application would depend on uptake of trade-off triangle frameworks within UK advisory services and policy contexts.
Key measures
Visualisation techniques for uncertainty representation in trade-off triangle frameworks; interpretability and communicative utility of uncertainty visualisation methods
Outcomes reported
The paper presents methodological developments for visualising uncertainty within trade-off triangles, a decision-support tool used to represent competing sustainability objectives in agriculture. The work addresses how confidence intervals and variability in sustainability scenarios can be communicated more effectively to decision-makers.
