Summary: An academic review of different assessment tools, used on the same farms in Denmark. Tools assessed in this process were RISE, SAFA, PG and IDEA.Relevance to CCRP: High. Although the context of the research was unfamiliar, the process of evaluating different tools is one which could, and should, be applied in any context. The review outlines what both the farmers and the researchers liked, and didn't like, about the different methodologies and how relevant and useful they found the results from applying these methodologies to be.
