Abstract

As our global crisis on climate, food, fuel and economy continues to aggravate, an advancement into sustainable agriculture has become one of the greatest requirements of this millennium. Despite our knowledge-gap and scepticism around this subject, today’s corporations are demanding for proper assessment methods capable of helping to build business resilience, for the sake of knowing how to well adapt, evolve or transform in the face of future crisis. By reviewing current practices amongst the agrarian sector, findings allowed us to confirm well-established observations from literature and to enlighten the fundamental role of context comprehensiveness when assessing sustainability. This work provides relevant information for micro-level performance evaluations, as results may support decision-makers to recognise, understand or apply any of the analysed 105 assessment tools.
