Production of beef in Denmark and Sweden derives from very varied production systems, from intensive bull production to extensive suckler cow systems based on grazing of semi natural areas. Beef production – in particular extensive suckler cow systems - is regarded as having a high negative impact on the climate compared to meat from pigs and broilers but it may have some advantages in relation to e.g. biodiversity and animal welfare, which are not considered when only the climate impact is in focus. In order to make an overall assessment of the impact of different beef production systems, an indicator-based sustainability index was developed. The aim was to create an index based on data that already exist at the farm or data that was relatively easy to collect. The index should be suitable for benchmarking both between farms and/or production systems but also as documentation or certification to authorities, slaughterhouses or consumers. The index was developed based on scientific literature and practical experience from similar projects, and was tested on two Swedish and three Danish farms. The index includes seven sub-indices including animal welfare, environmental impact, climate impact, use of resources, social responsibility, economy and biodiversity. An on-line platform was developed for handling data collection on farm, calculation and presentation of the index. The test showed that the index was able to assess the sustainability of various beef production systems. However the index needs to be evaluated before it is ready for general use on farms in Denmark and Sweden.
