“…Recent studies have demonstrated that the overall sustainability, comprising economic, environmental and social sustainability, of IWM systems surpasses that of conventional cropping systems. In many cases, the environmental disadvantages of pesticide use outweigh any potential socio-economic benefits [18], which may be further undermined by health risks to farm workers and end consumers [8]. A shift towards IWM and away from conventional cropping systems has therefore become a social, economic, and ecological imperative.…”

“…In addition, some authors agree on the complexity of establishing indicators for sustainability assessment [78,79], and others on the interpretation of the indicators within this type of analysis [14,31,57]. This complexity is one of the main reasons why there is no agreement about the best sustainability measurement methodology [16].…”

“…A qualitative multi-attribute model was built using DEXi software [7,8], for holistic assessment of soil quality [12], which does include a biodiversity element, though the above ground components of the system were not included. Finally, DEXiPM was developed to predict system level impacts of adopting IPM strategies [13], to perform post-hoc analysis of IPM cropping systems [14] and was adapted to include a more comprehensive biodiversity component and provide a common framework for sustainability assessment applicable to more than one type of crop system [15].…”
