Agroecology for sustainable development

Evidence on multidimensional performance from a cross-country TAPE assessment in Africa. Adoyo, B., et al (2025)

Agroecology is increasingly recognized as a pathway for transforming agrifood systems and advancing progress toward the SDGs. Yet, large-scale, cross-context evidence on its multidimensional performance as framed holistically by the FAO’s 10 Elements remains limited. To address this, the Tool for Agroecology Performance Evaluation (TAPE) and the Land Degradation Surveillance Framework (LDSF) were applied on 839 farming households in Benin, Ethiopia, Kenya, and Madagascar. Correlation analysis was used to quantify relationship between agroecological integration and multidimensional performance key drivers were identified through regression analysis.
