FAN 1.2.1 Sustainable production, processing, and/or trade practices

This indicator measures the number of smallholders who have enhanced their knowledge and/or received inputs to implement sustainable agriculture and processing practices. This includes participants in training programs, recipients of agricultural inputs, and those who benefited from extension services or other support activities aimed at improving agricultural productivity, income, or dietary diversity. 

Sustainable practices focus on maintaining agricultural productivity while conserving natural resources, such as water and soil, and promoting long-term viability through efficient resource use and access to sustainable markets. 

FAN 311

• Gender 

• Age  

• Left behind/vulnerable population group  

Smallholders who have directly benefited from training, capacity building, or the distribution of agricultural inputs aimed at promoting sustainable practices (primary stakeholders). 

• Trainings: Attendance sheets, participant lists, training reports. 

• Distribution of Information and Materials: Distribution lists (number of kits distributed), Post Distribution Monitoring (PDM) reports. 

• Field Reports: Reports from field staff on the number of smallholders reached through extension services or demonstration plots. 

Data should be collected continuously throughout the project, whenever activities are completed. 

Data on number of primary stakeholders should be collected regularly, ideally after each training session, input distribution, or extension service activity. 

Surveys and interviews with participants should be conducted periodically (e.g., quarterly, bi-annually) to assess the application of sustainable practices and the outcomes of the interventions.
