It has been accepted for inclusion in Papers in Natural Resources by an authorized administrator of DigitalCommons@University of Nebraska -Lincoln.Quinn, John E.; Brandle, James R.; and Johnson, Ron J., "A farm-scale biodiversity and ecosystem services assessment tool: The healthy farm index" (2013 AbstractFarm management focused on maximizing biomass production results in biological simplification and ultimately a degraded production potential for the future. Despite the large and growing body of evidence pointing to the need to restore biodiversity to farm systems, incorporation of biodiversity and ecosystem services into local agricultural land use decision-making remains limited. The lack of planned and associated biodiversity may reduce resiliency of local managed ecosystems and add management costs; however, the tradeoff for individual landowners of greater diversity is increased management complexity and uncertainty. To assist farmers in managing biodiversity and to encourage ecological thinking, we developed the Healthy Farm Index, a farm-scale tool that complements existing farm assessment tools by integrating multiple metrics and outputs suitable for applied decision-making and annual evaluation. In this article, we describe the impetus for the index development and the structure of the index and through a case study apply the index and discuss its varied outputs and applications.

Primljen: 09. decembar 2015.Prihvaćen: 30. mart 2016.IZVOD -Cilj rada je da se ukaže na značaj višekriterijumskog donošenja odluka radi procene primene i napretka održivog poslovanja rudarskih kompanija. Procena održivosti utvrđuje se na bazi uspešnosti realizacije najvažnijih aspekata održivog poslovanja. Polazeći od toga, u ovom radu je izvršeno rangiranje ekonomskih, socioloških, ekoloških i kultoroloških aspekata održivog poslovanja. Za rangiranje navedenih aspekata održivog poslovanja korišćena je višekriterijumska analiza-Electre metoda. Dobijeni rezultat identifikuje najvažnije aspekte održivog poslovanja, a sve u u cilju određivanja da li je održivo poslovanje rudarskih kompanija izbalasirano podjednako ili ne i koji od ovih aspekata nedostaje.Ključne reči: Višekriterijumsko donošenje odluka, održivo poslovanje , rudarske kompanije ABSTRACT -The aim of this paper is to highlight the importance of multi-criteria decision-making process for assessment the implementation and progress of sustainable business of mining companies.

At the present time, sustainable development has turn out to be a buzzword that acknowledged a lot of attentions in numerous fields like manufacturing [25], business development [26], tourism [27] and agriculture [28]. Also, in SCM both academics and general practitioner contemplate the sustainable concerns in their workings.…”

Abstract. Diverse sustainable supplier selection (SSS) methodologies have been suggested by the practitioners in earlier, to find a solution to the SSS problem. A SSS problem fundamentally is a multi-criteria practice. It is a judgment of tactical significance to enterprises. The nature of this decision usually is difficult and unstructured. Optimization practices might be useful tools for these types of decision-making difficulties. During last few years, Differential Evolution has arisen as a dominating tool used for solving a variety of problems arising in numerous fields. In the current study, we present an approach to find a solution to the SSS problem using Differential Evolution in pulp and paper industry. Hence this paper presents a novel approach is to practice Differential Evolution to select the efficient sustainable suppliers providing the maximum fulfillment for the sustainable criteria determined. Finally, an illustrative example on pulp and paper industry validates the application of the present approach.
