INFASA is a forum for scientists, policy-makers, producers, food industry leaders, and consumers to converge on the definition and measurement of sustainable agriculture. The initiative focuses on moving beyond the creation of new indicators to understanding how existing assessment tools work in practice and how to integrate them into mainstream farm management. Key priorities include balancing technical complexity with user manageability, incorporating stakeholder participation, and addressing the need for holistic approaches that include the social domain. INFASA seeks to optimize tool use across the food chain, develop guidelines for next-generation tools—such as those measuring carbon footprints—and use demonstration projects to build capacity for wider implementation.
