Strong sustainability, according to the common definition, requires that different natural and economic capital stocks have to be maintained as physical quantities separately. Yet, in a world of uncertainty this cannot be guaranteed. To therefore define strong sustainability under uncertainty in an operational manner, we propose to use the concept of viability. Viability means that the differen...

ABSTRACT: Crop monoculture and single conventional cattle raising were designed for a rapid increase in productivity food supply. However, some of these production systems have shown signs saturation negative environmental impacts. Crop-livestock integration been developed as an alternative that delivers increased greater sustainability. This article presents evaluation the economic viability f...
