Measuring Agroecology and its Performance (MAP): Key findings from applying the FAO Tool for Agroecology Performance Evaluation (TAPE) in Benin, Ethiopia, Kenya, and Madagascar in the context of the Global Programme Soil Protection and Rehabilitation for Food Security (ProSoil)

In this collaborative project of the Transformative Partnership Platform on Agroecology (Agroecology TPP), FAO’s Tool for Agroecology Performance Evaluation (TAPE) was applied to 839 farming households in Benin, Ethiopia, Kenya and Madagascar. The study was carried out in the context of the global programme Soil Protection and Rehabilitation for Food Security (ProSoil) to understand the degree to which ProSoil activities fostered agroecological transitions among participating households, and how these differing degrees of agroecological integration correlate with multidimensional performance. To address these questions, in each of the four countries, half of the assessed households had actively participated in ProSoil activities (constituting the ‘ProSoil group’) previously. The other half (the ‘comparison group’) shared the general socioeconomic, environmental and agricultural characteristics but had not participated in previous ProSoil activities.
