Crop diversification represents a key lever to support the development of sustainable agri-food systems. Knowledge on trade-offs and carry over effects from different crop diversification strategies is essential to inform agricultural stakeholders of potential costs and benefits. This knowledge is limited by existing data and performance measures predominantly focused on single crops, rather than complete rotations. Moreover, sustainability performance indicators are often used for assessment purposes, rather than supporting stakeholder learning and actions. A new set of 32 indicators was developed to address these needs, and used to evaluate the environmental, economic and social sustainability of the diversified agricultural systems highlighted in the case studies, which are often characterized by data availability constraints. This approach was tested in France, Germany and Italy to determine a critical ex-post diagnosis of the existing systems, and for the assessment of ex-ante innovative scenarios. The results will be used to support these case studies in the identification and design of more sustainable agricultural systems. Although the framework is based on feasible and proxy indicators, the assessment outcomes have allowed local actors to reflect on the effects generated by the implemented crop diversification strategies. Key issues include trade-offs occurring between optimizing economic and environmental performance.

以行动者为导向的多标准评估框架，以支持向基于作物多样化的可持续农业系统过渡

作物多样化是支持可持续农业食品系统发展的关键杠杆。了解不同作物多样化战略的权衡和结转影响对于告知农业利益相关者潜在的成本和收益至关重要。这种知识受到现有数据和主要关注单一作物而不是完整轮作的性能指标的限制。此外，可持续性绩效指标通常用于评估目的，而不是支持利益相关者的学习和行动。开发了一套新的 32 项指标来满足这些需求，并用于评估案例研究中强调的多样化农业系统的环境、经济和社会可持续性，这些系统的特点通常是数据可用性限制。这种方法在法国、德国和意大利进行了测试，以确定对现有系统的关键事后诊断，以及对事前创新场景的评估。结果将用于支持这些案例研究，以确定和设计更可持续的农业系统。尽管该框架基于可行和代理指标，但评估结果已使当地参与者能够反思实施的作物多样化战略所产生的影响。关键问题包括优化经济和环境绩效之间的权衡。结果将用于支持这些案例研究，以确定和设计更可持续的农业系统。尽管该框架基于可行和代理指标，但评估结果已使当地参与者能够反思实施的作物多样化战略所产生的影响。关键问题包括优化经济和环境绩效之间的权衡。结果将用于支持这些案例研究，以确定和设计更可持续的农业系统。尽管该框架基于可行和代理指标，但评估结果已使当地参与者能够反思实施的作物多样化战略所产生的影响。关键问题包括优化经济和环境绩效之间的权衡。
