Few attempts have been made by researchers to develop composite sustainability indices (CSIs) using multiple indicators at the farm and farming system levels.
“Few attempts have been made by researchers to develop composite sustainability indices (CSIs) using multiple indicators at the farm and farming system levels [9,16].”
From Integrated Sustainability Assessment of Divergent Mediterranean Farming Systems: Cyprus as a Case Study (2020) · cites this paper as [16]
Section 2.2.3 describes building composite sustainability indices from multiple indicators, and Section 3.2 reports them across farm typologies. The paper thus provides an example of the approach, but the passages do not establish the claim that few researchers have attempted it. (LLM, conf=0.83)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredSocioeconomic development and environmental protection are not necessarily mutually exclusive.
“For the overall sample, the EnCSI was positively associated with the SCSI ( rs = 0.33) and the EcCSI ( rs = 0.12), indicating that socioeconomic development and environmental protection are not necessarily mutually exclusive [11,16].”

Off/non-farm income is a source of income diversification and an alternative livelihood strategy (especially for small-scale farmers) that may keep farming activity alive.
“It is a source of income diversification and an alternative livelihood strategy (especially for small-scale farmers) that may keep farming activity alive [16,21,35].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
