Co-design of Agroecology Indicators with local communities: The Challenges and Perspectives for Agroecological Transition Evaluation by Bahri, Haithem, Alary, Veronique, Toukebri, Wael, Barbouchi, Meriem, M'hamed, Hatem Cheikh, Ouerghemmi, Hassen, Shiri, Zahra, Annabi, Mohamed, Frija, Aymen

“…However, a transition towards agroecology food system is also not an easy task and involves the piloting of a set of very complex practices, tools, arrangements, and policies combined with behavioral changes and sustainable financing business models. This complexity and diversity of agroecology transition pathways is not easily captured using conventional productivity and sustainability indicators given that the 13 principles of agroecological transition need to be very contextualized and co-designed based on local priorities and on the agreed transition objectives across food system actors involved in this process. …”

Managing water and land at the interface between fresh and saline environments by McDonald, B.

“…With inputs including (i) approximately US$679,000 over 3 years, 86% from the Challenge Program on Water and Food (CPWF), (ii) support from CPWF in training in impact pathway analysis and for faceto- face meetings between the Bangladesh and Viet Nam components of this project to share experiences and lessons, (iii) an existing water management model ready for further development, (iv) the scientific knowledge of many local and international experts, (v) the experience of a wide range of partners in water management and production systems, (vi) the active participation of the provincial and local governments, (vii) the agreement of producers to provide their businesses as laboratories, (viii) the agreements of other producers to provide their farms as control farms with a likely opportunity cost, and (ix) the participation of producer groups who shared their experiences and insights, this project: • produced an improved Vietnamese River Systems and Plains (VRSAP) model that now contributes to improved sluice gate operations to better meet producers’ water needs; • used the model and other data to contribute to the development of the Bac Lieu People’s Committee’s Land Use Policy, which recognizes the benefits of diversification and the role of saline water in farming; and • developed and evaluated a successful participatory extension approach that assists producers select appropriate technologies (and reject others) based on on-farm demonstration and experimentation. …”
