  "abstract": "Agriculture today faces major and sometimes contradictory challenges: continuing to meet growing demand for food and non-food goods while reducing negative environmental and social impacts linked to production. This also forms part of a broader context of climate change that requires major adaptations of crops and management. While stakeholders may not agree on the solutions, a consensus exists on the need for methods for assessing the sustainability of agricultural systems in order to evaluate both existing systems and innovative systems currently being designed. This article aims to trace the history of this multi-criteria assessment of agricultural systems, carried out in France since the beginning of the 90, starting with the pioneering work at INRA in Colmar, followed by work on life cycle analysis and the DEXi tool. Finally, the more recent development of integrated modelling and assessment with the MAELIA platform is presented. In a second part, it goes on to present the emergence of several attempts to help control this proliferation of indicator initiatives.",
