Goals of the project: 

Development of indicators for socio-economic parameters on the farm, operationalization and survey design: Basic aspects such as the farm budget and use of income are affected here, as are the quality of life on the farm, workload and resource allocation. Farm succession as well as gender and diversity are important keywords in this context. Possible definitions of turnover- and sufficiency-oriented companies.

Discussion of variants and methods for recording and evaluating in order to enable a mapping of concrete agricultural problem areas: farm management with regard to workload, resilience and personal resource management (time!). Survey of practice-relevant parameters (compliance). Definition and mapping of diversification opportunities, management of the downstream value chain, managing social demands using the example of NetFoodProduction and perception of and dealing with environmental impacts in general.

Presentation of the options for mapping upstream and downstream socio-economic impacts as well as their handling and significance in the value chain: approaches to integrating off-farm impacts in LCI (life cycle inventories); Importance of S-LCA and aggregation of workload from databases; Perception and interpretation of the upstream chains in the company; Interaction with the educational and consulting landscape, training content, operational planning; Interaction between working groups (especially corporate management); Marketing, analysis of the perspectives of downstream actors on operational management; Representation of concerns about education, family and women in interest groups.

Preparation with a view to embedding it in the farm management tool FarmLife for collection, evaluation and interpretation and corresponding further development of the instruments: Development of the potential for further development of the tool; Operationalization of a survey, test survey; User-friendliness of data entry and evaluation, presentation of parameters and indicators.
