Résumé

The ACTION project validated the use of the IDEA4 method (Farm Sustainability Indicators 4 th version) with three major outcomes: i) its versatility for use in a variety of contexts (education, research, agricultural advice, support, public action) and in a majority of farming systems (crops, livestock, orchards, viticulture, and market gardening); ii) its functionality, underpinned by three freely accessible tools (Excel calculator, IDEATools and the WEB-IDEA platform); and iii) the establishment of a broad collaborative community of around 300 IDEA4 users (advisers, teachers, researchers and farmers) who have conducted more than 800 farm diagnoses using IDEA4. In the field of education, this method's dual sustainability approach (consisting of three dimensions and five properties of sustainability) enhances its pedagogical performance. In the area of research, IDEA4 contributes to the expansion of knowledge on the sustainability of transitions. The forthcoming WEB-IDEA 2.0 platform will pave the way for national open data sets on the sustainability of French agriculture.
