Measuring the social and ecological performance of agricultural innovations on rangelands: Progress and plans for an indicator framework in the LTAR network
Summary. The Long-Term Agroecosystem Research Network developed an indicator framework to measure how agricultural innovations on rangelands perform across five domains: environment, productivity, economics, human condition, and social outcomes. The framework compares management innovations against site-specific benchmarks applicable to grazinglands worldwide. A key challenge remains scaling measurements from fine scales like individual ranches to broader landscape and community levels.
