农场的环境、经济和社会可持续性的协调对于加强农业公共产品的提供是必要的。这项研究结合了三种工具来评估农场的可持续性。它在15个案例研究中首次深入了解了农场在农业生态转型的不同阶段的可持续性表现，这些案例研究涵盖了整个欧洲的一系列不同的耕作制度。每个案例研究都反映了向农业生态农业的不同过渡。应用的工具是COMPAS(一种经济农场评估工具)、Cool Farm工具(温室气体清单、水足迹和生物多样性评估工具)和SMART Farm工具(一种多层面可持续性评估工具)。首先，综合可持续性评估的结果加深了对不同耕作制度的了解。不同农场的可持续性表现差异很大，但总体而言，农业生态农场往往会提高生物多样性和水质。对于土壤质量，没有明确的模式可识别。这同样适用于农业生态转型不同阶段的经济表现。在所有被调查的农场中，生活质量通常被评为中到高。综合可持续性评估使人们能够确定需要进一步制定政策的领域。调整工具需要统一关于工具输入数据的定义、简化和假设。
The alignment of the environmental, economic and social sustainability of farms is necessary for enhancing the provision of public goods in farming. This study combines the use of three tools for the assessment of farm sustainability. It provides first insights into the sustainability performance of farms at different stages of agro-ecological transitions in 15 case studies covering a range of different farming systems across Europe. Each case study reflects a different transition towards agro-ecological farming. The tools applied were COMPAS (an economic farm assessment tool); Cool Farm Tool (a greenhouse gas inventory, water footprint and biodiversity assessment tool); and the SMART Farm Tool (a multidimensional sustainability assessment tool). First results of the use of combined sustainability assessments deepen the understanding of different farming systems. Sustainability performance varies greatly between farms, but overall, agro-ecological farms tend to enhance biodiversity and water quality. For soil quality, no clear patterns could be identified. The same applies to economic performance at different stages of the agro-ecological transition. Quality of life was generally rated medium to high on all investigated farms. The combined sustainability assessment enabled the identification of areas for further policy development. Aligning the tools required harmonising definitions, simplification and assumptions with regard to the input data of the tools.
