New research defines healthy agro-ecosystems for sustainable development at county level.
Agro-ecosystem health on a regional level is important for sustainable development. Researchers have defined indicators to measure the health of agro-ecosystems at the county level. A healthy agro-ecosystem should have a good structure, be able to withstand risks, and meet the needs of all stakeholders. The indicator system combines ecological and socioeconomic factors to assess the health of agro-ecosystems. The goal is to understand the status of agro-ecosystem health by looking at resource availability, diversity, and integrity.
