  abstract = {{T}he development of sustainable cropping systems is a key priority for agronomists and crop scientists. {A} first step involves understanding the relationship between cropping system performance and farmers' practices. {T}o complete this step, a methodological framework entitled {R}egional {A}gronomic {D}iagnosis ({RAD}) has been developed. {D}uring the last ten years, the scope of the regional agronomic diagnosis has been enlarged to include several factors describing crop quality and the environmental impact of cropping systems. {R}egional agronomic diagnosis has led to several major advances such as ( 1) the assessment of the effect of preceding crop and soil structure on malting barley quality in {F}rance and ( 2) the assessment of the effects of ploughing, nematicide use and fertilisers on soil properties in intensive banana plantations in the {W}est {I}ndies. {I}mprovements have also been gained in methodology, particularly by the selection of indicators for assessing the effects of crop management, soil and weather conditions, and data analysis. {F}inally, regional agronomic diagnosis has been integrated into more general approaches of agricultural development. {W}e review here this methodological progress.},
