English Abstract

ABSTRACT: Crop production in Bahrain is facing many challenges that may undermine farm's sustainability. Farmers are an important player and assessing farm’s sustainability to identify performance gaps is essential. Since there are no standardized set of indicators used globally, this study aims to investigate common indicators used in measuring farm’s sustainability. It also measures farm sustainability in Bahrain using Response-Inducing Sustainability Evaluation (RISE) accompanied by field visit observations, it assesses local farmer’s perceptions towards sustainability, and measures the effect of Covid-19 pandemic on farms and farmers.
