The need to quantify sustainability in agriculture and the ecosystem services it provides is increasingly felt by the sector. Indicators and indices are useful tools for this purpose, but are currently scarce in the specialized fruit-growing sector. In addition, there is a need for a more holistic view of the orchard system, which also considers unproductive spaces, such as the inter-row, where techniques can be implemented to improve adaptation to climate change.

基于植被的生态功能可持续性指数 （VEFSI） 用于优化果园生态系统服务


该行业越来越意识到量化农业及其提供的生态系统服务的可持续性的必要性。指标和指数是实现此目的的有用工具，但目前在专门的水果种植领域很少。此外，需要对果园系统有一个更全面的认识，其中也考虑了非生产性空间，例如行间空间，在这些空间里，可以实施技术来提高对气候变化的适应能力。
