| Résumé : |
The Guide for the evaluation of agroecology proposes an approach and methodological tools for assessing the effects of agro ecological practices and systems on the agro-environmental and socio-economic performance of agriculture, and for assessing the conditions necessary for the development of agroecology. It aims to: help development stakeholders better design their projects, programmes and public policies in support of agroecology; facilitate the creation of references (performance and conditions necessary for development); and assist farmers so that they can better evaluate the results of their practices and thus have guidance for making decisions.
This Guide is divided into three parts. The first part presents the general approaches for one-off evaluations and for monitoring and evaluation. The second part consists of evaluation sheets covering either agro-environmental and socio-economic aspects that may be impacted by agroecology, or the conditions necessary for the development of agroecology. The third part proposes additional methodologies in the form of tool sheets. |
