摘要 可持续指标已成为政策制定者评估可持续农业进展情况的流行工具。定义可持续性的不同方法导致对指标价值的分歧，但需要某种形式的衡量，以便社会能够判断政策的效果。环境和社会问题及其根源跨越国界。因此，需要一个评估农业活动、其影响以及推动这些活动的压力的国际框架。然而，联合国可持续发展议程的指导原则是全球问题需要地方行动。因此，指标必须为政策制定者提供信息，并为农民和其他从业者提供指导。目前提出的许多指标计划并未提供这种程度的指导，因为尚未就什么程度的活动是可持续的进行评估达成一致。提出了一个模型，以展示如何将科学与政治或参与性方法结合起来，以实现让人们参与、维护科学完整性以及为政策制定者和从业者提供指导的多重目标。
SUMMARY Sustainable indicators have become popular tools by which policymakers can assess progress towards a more sustainable agriculture. Varying approaches to defining sustainability lead to disagreement about the value of indicators and yet some form of measurement is required so that society can judge the effects of policy. Environmental and social problems and their causes span national boundaries. An international framework for assessing agricultural activities, their effects and the pressures that drive those activities is therefore required. However, a guiding principle of the UN Agenda for Sustainable Development is that global problems require local action. Thus, indicators must provide information for policymakers as well as guidance for farmers and other practitioners. Many indicator programmes currently proposed do not provide this level of guidance as no evaluation as to what level of activity is sustainable has been agreed. A model is presented, to show how scientific and political or participatory approaches may be combined to meet the multiple objectives of involving people, maintaining scientific integrity and providing guidance for policymakers and practitioners alike.
