How can we measure the multiple benefits for smallholder farmers that

underlie resilience?

Elwyn Grainger-Jones

• Please give up to three bullets on key messages from your Learning Event

1. Measuring impacts of agricultural programmes must also include landscape and ecosystem impacts in addition to “regular”” poverty and production/productivity measures

2. While the stock of natural capital is one generally underreported measure of livelihood resilience, institutional, governance and social aspects of resilience are important too

Key messages

• Please give up to three bullets on evidence of the impact of your case example – ideally this should be quantitative data

1. N/A – programme not yet started – was presenting the results framework to measure multiple benefit adaptation

Evidence of impact

• Please give up to three bullets on messages on what is needed to take your case to scale e.g. What policy change is required ? – What investment is needed ?– and who needs to take action?

• Greater recognition of cross-cutting impacts of agriculture

• Simpler metrics for measuring livelihood resilience of smallholders

• Global targets – such as MDGs/SDGs – set an example by finding indicators that do not separate sectors or themes across development, environment and agriculture.
