Inputs
Use a 0–5 scale (0 = not in place, 5 = strong / well implemented). This is designed for project planning and communication, not academic ranking.
Pillar scores (0–5)
Local production volume, diversity, consistency.
3/5
Distribution, proximity, equity, delivery points.
3/5
Price stability, subsidies, local cost curves.
2/5
Water security, redundancy, climate buffers, storage.
2/5
Soil health, water efficiency, nutrient management, waste.
3/5
Optional weights (advanced)
Leave as-is for equal weighting. Use weights to emphasize local priorities.
Tip: Use this index alongside your other calculators:
Yield & Servings (Availability), Water Demand (Resilience), Import Savings (Affordability).

How we calculate
- Each pillar is scored 0–5. Weights (default 1) create a weighted average.
- Normalized index = (weighted average ÷ 5) × 100.
- Tier bands: 0–39 vulnerable, 40–59 improving, 60–79 strong, 80–100 leading.
