In this paper we propose a methodology that could be beneficial in aggregate sustainability assessment. We apply the method of conjoint analysis to select economic, social, and ecological attributes that are perceived as important for agricultural sustainability by different stakeholders and to assess their relative impact on the overall sustainability measure. Our method presents a flexible framework which could be adopted for a variety of specific applications and allows drawing comparisons among various stakeholder groups based on how they perceive agricultural sustainability.}, number={1}, journal={Agricultural Systems}, author={Sydorovych, O. and Wossink, A.}, year={2008}, pages={10–20} }
 @article{wossink_wefering_2003, title={Hot spots in animal agriculture, emerging federal environmental policies and the potential for efficiency and innovation offsets}, volume={2}, ISBN={1462-4605}, DOI={10.1504/ijarge.2003.003970}, abstractNote={In North America and Northern Europe, high livestock densities in concentrated areas (hot spots) have led to manure surpluses, which have resulted in water pollution problems. Using the emerging policy objectives for animal waste in the European Union and the USA as a backdrop, this paper discusses the impact of environmental regulation on farm profits. A theoretical model of the farm is presented where pollution is a joint output of production and where inefficiency in production prevails. Given this assumption, environmental regulations affect both the level of inefficiency and the extent of technological change and can induce cost offsets. Data from the Netherlands, where strict environmental regulation has been in place for animal agriculture since 1987, are used to test the hypothesis about efficiency and innovation offsets. Furthermore, differences in these offsets between farm types are assessed.}, number={3}, journal={International Journal of Agricultural Resources, Governance and Ecology}, author={Wossink, A. and Wefering, F.}, year={2003}, pages={228} }
