necesarias concesiones entre...


Explanation:
Sé que no es una traducción ortodoxa, pero es la conotación que para mí tiene, un trade-off es una negociación donde una parte, o ambas, tienen inevitablemente que ceder algo, en su competencia por recursos escasos. POR EJEMPLO, entre mantener los ríos abundantes, o desviar esa agua hacia sistemas de irrigación o a las ciudades. Al final debe haber concesiones.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
trade–off noun \ˈtrād-ˌȯf\ : a situation in which you must choose between or balance two things that are opposite or cannot be had at the same time / : something that you do not want but must accept in order to have something that you want
