Summary
This conference paper develops and presents visualisation methods to communicate uncertainty in agricultural sustainability trade-off analyses, specifically applied to the trade-off triangle framework. The work addresses a methodological gap in representing the inherent uncertainties when balancing multiple competing sustainability objectives in farming systems. As suggested by the title and presentation venue, the authors propose approaches to improve transparency and clarity in how uncertainty is communicated to stakeholders evaluating complex agricultural sustainability decisions.
UK applicability
The visualisation methodology could be applicable to UK agricultural policy and farm-level decision-making contexts where sustainability trade-offs (e.g. productivity, environmental impact, economic viability) must be communicated to farmers and policymakers with explicit acknowledgement of uncertainties. However, the paper's geographic focus and direct applicability to UK conditions cannot be determined from the metadata provided.
Key measures
Visualisation techniques for uncertainty representation in sustainability trade-off triangles
Outcomes reported
The study presents visualisation approaches to represent uncertainty within the trade-off triangle framework, a tool used to balance competing sustainability objectives in farming systems. The work addresses the methodological challenge of transparently communicating inherent uncertainties when evaluating complex sustainability decisions.
