Innovation TitleFarming system sustainability assessment through mix-methods approach for arid and semi-arid regions
Innovation description The major outcomes of this activity is a Comprehensive framework for farming systems sustainability assessment and an open access online tool for sustainability assessment, resulting capacity development of of partners on sustainability assessment innovation (see evidence link), and publication on Measuring farm household vulnerability and resilience among the intermediate outcomes. The online tool will be available for stakeholders to use by the end of 2020 or early 2021, then will be piloted in 2021.
