Multidimensional Performance of Agroecology: Validation of Results of the TAPE Application in Selected Districts in Ethiopia

The Measuring Agroecology Performance (MAP) is a collaborative project whose focus is evidence generation on the multidimensional performance of agroecology through gathering and analyzing reliable and consistent data at the farm and territorial levels, as well as the agroecological levels of transitions, using the Tool for Agroecological Performance Evaluation (TAPE). ICRAF, through its respective country offices (Benin, Ethiopia, and Kenya) will be in charge of implementing TAPE, including conducting the survey, processing of data and provision of analysis reports and providing technical assistance to relevant national stakeholders. As part of this, CIFOR-ICRAF assessed the agroecological transition of smallholder’s farms in the context of the GIZ ProSoil/ProSiliece project in three Woredas (Hula, Sodo-Zuria, and Walmara) in Ethiopia using the FAO TAPE (Tool for Agroecological Performance Evaluation) methodology. The preliminary findings, while indicating the comparative agroecological transition levels of the ISFM practicing and non-practicing farms, demonstrated the multidimensional performance of agroecology.
