RISE (Response-Inducing Sustainability Evaluation)

RISE is an indicator-based method for assessing the sustainability performance of agricultural production at farm level. The purpose of RISE is to globally contribute to enhancing the sustainability of agricultural production, by supporting knowledge-based processes that are founded on voluntary participation, confidentiality and capacity building. RISE users work in agricultural consultancy, education, in development projects and in raw material sourcing. The steps of a RISE analysis are goal and scope definition, farmer selection and contacting, data collection and interpretation, farmer feedback discussion and reporting. HAFL and its partner institutions offer training courses, RISE analyses of single farms and farm groups, as well as RISE user licenses and technical support. The RISE method and software are intellectual property of the Bern University of Applied Sciences/School of Agricultural, Forest and Food Sciences(HAFL).
