>G.R. Conway has suggested there are four measures: productivity,
>stability/resilience, maintenance of the natural resource asset, and
>equitability.
Do you have a reference for this? In earlier work, Conway referred to
resilience as sustainability and separated it from stability, and did not
include maintenance of the natural resource base in his desirable
characteristics of an agroecosystem. Is this an evolution in his thinking
or is he referring to something different? Thanks.
Cheers,
Terry
