Summary/Abstract: The main sustainability aspects are defined in a broader definition regarding to which the agriculture should be economically efficient, environmentally compatible and socially responsible. The EU is transforming the holdings and this reflects on the farm economic size and furthermore its sustainability. This paper aims to find out the connection between the farm economic size and the sustainability. The relative comparative approach applies an assessment by normalizing the FADN data (representing an average statistical farm performance from each MS sample) and determines the scope of the Member States according to pre-defined criteria used as a sustainability score.
