چکیده
Abstract Sustainable Intensification (SI) practices offer adopters exploiting improvement potentials in environmental performance of farming, i.e. enhance ecosystem functionality, while maintaining productivity. This paper proposes a directional meta-frontier approach for measuring farms’ eco-efficiency and respective the direction ecological output SI evaluation. We account selection processes into using behavioural model rely on matched sample non-adopters agronomic from northern German Plain. conclude that determined sample’s system frontier showed higher mean eco-efficiency, but most farms our did not fully exploit biodiversity as outcome.
