The Public Goods Tool (PG Tool) has been in constant use since its creation in 2011 (https://www.organicresearchcentre.com/our-research/research-project-library/public-goods-tool/), with a variety of adaptations and custom versions created to assess the sustainability of a range of farms and land-use types across Europe. This most recent development now opens up the PG Tool for access to anyone who is interested, complemented with a new online interface allowing for a smoother data inputting process.

This online version has been created through the EU Horizon Re-Livestock project in collaboration with MVARC (https://mvarc.eu/).
