This positioning paper introduces the concept of redesign and uses integrated fruit production (IFP)and organic food & farming (OF&F), as examples highlighting transition issues in agriculture.Whereas design can be considered as resulting from in silico activities (ex ante approach), redesign entails both an assessment of existing situations and explicit objectives guiding changes in farming systems (in itinere approach). Ecologisation can be considered as a driving force for redesigning agriculture (Deverre & Ste Marie, 2007), since regulations at various levels encourage cross-compliance and invite farmers to develop new practices. A framework is proposed to address how indicators can contribute to meeting agroecology challenges.
