This paper presents a systemic Adaptation Assessment Framework (AAF) conceived to guide agricultural adaptation mainstreaming into broader policy domains, particularly, those related to rural development. Starting from a review of the main phases and linkages within the adaptation process, the AAF is built around key Land Surface Modelling, Multi-Criteria Evaluation and Decision-Making informative capabilities. The resulting quantitative, comparative and integrative concepts and findings are explored to answer fundamental questions: “what to adapt”, “how to adapt”, and “who adapts”. From this, a refreshing outlook of the targets, mechanisms and attitudes that shape agricultural adaptation is proposed as part of transformational changes, multifunctional landscapes, resilience building, and sustainable agriculture. These visions are seen here as mainstreaming facilitators. Finally, the AAF is tested on two regional-type sub-alpine study cases, revealing different mainstreaming possibilities in a context of climate change.

本文提出了一个系统的适应评估框架（AAF），旨在指导将农业适应主流化到更广泛的政策领域，尤其是与农村发展相关的政策领域。从对适应过程中的主要阶段和联系进行回顾开始，AAF建立在关键的陆面建模，多标准评估和决策信息能力的基础上。对由此产生的定量，比较和综合概念和发现进行探讨，以回答以下基本问题：“适应什么”，“如何适应”和“谁适应”。以此为基础，提出了改变农业适应的目标，机制和态度的崭新前景，作为转型变革，多功能景观，抗灾力建设和可持续农业的一部分。这些愿景在这里被视为主流推动者。最后，AAF在两个区域型亚高山研究案例中进行了测试，揭示了在气候变化背景下主流化的不同可能性。
