The flowchart illustrates the development and validation process of a sustainability assessment tool for food and agriculture systems. The analysis section defines objectives, system descriptions, and indicator selection. The process section outlines literature review, identification of the Food and Agriculture Organization’s framework, engagement of stakeholders, exclusion of themes such as child labour, and formulation of a final questionnaire. Reporting companies are then identified, and data collection follows for field validation. The final outputs link to multiple-case studies, shown through references to tables and appendices detailing model structure and validation outcomes.Methodology adopted for the validation of the tool
