A Selection of Sustainability Indicators for Austrian Farming and Forestry. An International Comparison

This project develops indicators of the agricultural sector in Austria and comparable countries that are discussed in the international literature in the context of sustainable development. The selection will be made in an interactive stakeholder process. An important selection criterion is that it should be possible to measure indicators at farm level and another one that countries can be compared. This limits the number of available indicators and several important aspects of sustainable development can not be measured. None the less the indicators presented in this study can contribute to the discussion on this topic and be used as an input in other studies.
