摘要: Sustainability is a catch-all term in need of more tangible, yet qualitatively measureable operationalisations. This paper discusses the relevance robustness as an image sustainability. We argue that has conceptual advantages against sustainability because it embedded system thinking and gives direction to operationalisations sustainable development than ever can. consider conceptualisations three TransForum projects which were set up develop concept agricultural innovation. In these projects, conceptualised from engineering perspective relation efficiency control. suggest frame reference based on two organising principles, other should be taken into account when operationalising through robustness.
