The framework consists of 15 indicators able to assess the social performances of the farms that could have relevant reflection on their role for the rural area.
Process-related methods are applied first, in order to provide local-scale performance indicators able to suggest optimization procedures from a user-side point of view.
This special issue integrates eleven papers focussing on indicators able to convey the multiple expectations that society has concerning agricultural land.
The authors have translated the data for each case study into specific indicators able to express the interventions and strategies' performances, measured throughout a score of the performance level (from 0 = none to 5 = excellent).
Thus, by grouping and regrouping sector indicators there are obtained functional integrated categories of interconnected indicators, able to provide a clear picture on the economy, on the entire society, and to provide a reliable and flexible tool for the evaluation, analysis and the monitoring of the registered developments.

In such a situation, health indicators able to identify this part of the population easily, without clinical examination, are of great value.
Ideally, a set of a few robust, valid, shared, transferable, comparable, and feasible indicators able to synthesize research impact should be developed for any assessment.
Thus, the identification of new clinical indicators able to reveal the degree of blood purification from small as well as large toxins in a wide range of dialytic sessions will be of medical interest.
