Abstract

•
The Long-Term Agroecosystem Research Network launched the LTAR Agricultural Performance Indicator Framework to evaluate how agricultural innovations perform relative to sustainable intensification goals in five domains: Environment, Productivity, Economic, Human Condition, and Social.
•
Here we describe our progress and plans for measuring the performance of agricultural innovations on rangelands.
•
We present a method for measuring outcomes of management innovations against site-specific benchmarks, which can be applied in grazinglands worldwide.
•
LTAR typically studies management on fine scales (ecological site, ranch); how to measure effects on broad scales (landscape, community) remains a persistent question.
•
LTAR’s Agricultural Performance Indicator Framework will evolve with stakeholder engagement.

衡量牧场农业创新的社会和生态绩效:LTAR网络指标框架的进展和计划

•长期农业生态系统研究网络启动了LTAR农业绩效指标框架，以评估农业创新在环境、生产力、经济、人类条件和社会五个领域相对于可持续集约化目标的表现。•在这里，我们描述了衡量牧场农业创新绩效的进展和计划。•我们提出了一种针对特定地点基准衡量管理创新成果的方法，该方法可应用于全球的牧场。•LTAR通常研究精细尺度(生态场地，牧场)的管理;如何在更大的尺度(景观、社区)上衡量影响仍然是一个持久的问题。•LTAR的农业绩效指标框架将随着利益相关者的参与而发展。
