  1. Response - InducingSustainability Evaluation RISE improving sustainabilityof agricultural production

  2. Response - InducingSustainability Evaluation RISE Tackling sustainability deficits on dairy farms in Northeastern China with RISE

  3. Contents Response - InducingSustainability Evaluation What is RISE ? Tackling sustainability deficits on dairy farms in Northeastern China with RISE Partnerships to achieve impact

  4. What is RISE ? economy socio-cultural aspects ecology RISE RISE is a tool/model allowing for a holistic sustainability assessment of agricultural production with the aim of initiating improvements where necessary

  5. What is RISE ? economy socio-cultural aspects ecology RISE RISE is a tool/model allowing for a holistic sustainability assessment of agricultural production with the aim of initiating improvements where necessary • the tools covers ecological,economic and socialaspects of sustainability • evaluates productionat whole-farm level

  6. RISE translates information... economy socio-cultural aspects ecology RISE

  7. …into stimulus for change economy socio-cultural aspects ecology RISE • identification of - strengths ( potentials) and - weaknesses ( intervention points)

  8. …into stimulus for change economy socio-cultural aspects action! ecology RISE • identification of - strengths ( potentials) and - weaknesses ( intervention points) • inducing changes (awareness, practical measures)to improve the situation • identification of - strengths ( potentials) and - weaknesses ( intervention points) farmer

  9. RISE is holistic… RISE covers all three dimensions of sustainability social aspects ecology economy

  10. RISE is holistic… Energy Water Soil Biodiversity Emission potential (N&P) Plant protection Waste Economic stability Economic efficiency Local economy Working conditions Social security 12 indicators: Natural resources Management Economy Social situation RISE covers all three dimensions of sustainability

  11. …and nonetheless specific ReactionMeasures augment valuable filed margins,less intensive use of certain fields,downsize particular plots, etc. Each indicator is calculated from various parameters(around 60 parameters in total) State Parameter "SP"  opt.=100 Driving Force Parameter "DF"  opt.=0 Indicator Biodiversity Parameter Value SP1: Cropping system (>10 factors 16 such as pesticide use, valuable field margins or hedges, etc.) DP1: Proportion of intensively cropped area 58(-) DP2: Plot size 52(-) DP3: Weed control 10(-) Degree of sustainabilityDS = S - D = 16 - 40 = -24

  12. RISE at different scales/levels • Evaluation of many farms

  13. RISE at different scales/levels • Evaluation of many farms

  14. framework conditions RISE at different scales/levels • Evaluation of many farms • Analysis of framework conditions

  15. Evaluation of many farms RISE at different scales/levels • Measures at farm level • Conducive framework • Policy advice • Analysis of framework conditions • Responsible policies regulations / laws / ... framework conditions
