Summary
This conference paper presents methodological approaches for enhancing the visualisation of uncertainty within the trade-off triangle—a widely used tool in sustainable agriculture for evaluating competing objectives including productivity, environmental impact, and social benefit. The authors propose visual methods to better communicate uncertainty in these assessments, drawing on practices from geophysical science communication. The work is oriented towards strengthening decision support tools used in agricultural sustainability evaluation.
UK applicability
As a methodological contribution to sustainability assessment visualisation, this work would be broadly applicable to UK agricultural policy and farm-level decision-making contexts where the trade-off triangle is used. Its utility would depend on adoption of the proposed uncertainty visualisation approaches by UK advisory services and sustainability certification schemes.
Key measures
Visual representation techniques for uncertainty in trade-off triangle diagrams; integration of uncertainty quantification into agricultural sustainability evaluation frameworks
Outcomes reported
The study proposes visual methods for representing uncertainty within the trade-off triangle, a decision-support tool used to evaluate competing agricultural objectives (productivity, environmental impact, social benefit). The work aims to improve communication of uncertainty in agricultural sustainability assessments.
