    Handbook for Participatory Socioeconomic Evaluation of Pollinator-Friendly Practices 2012
    Also available in:
    No results found.

    This publication provides guidance on the socioeconomic evaluation of pollinator-friendly practices, as part of the GEF supported Project “Conservation and Management of Pollinators for Sustainable Agriculture, through an Ecosystem Approach” implemented in seven countries - Brazil, Ghana, India, Kenya, Nepal, Pakistan, and South Africa. The project is coordinated by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) with implementation support from the United Nations Env ironment Programme (UNEP). The field-testing and adaptation of the guidance described in this handbook, and the production of the book, was made possible through the support of the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD), Rome, Italy. We would like to thank the partners in the GEF/UNEP/FAO project for their feedback on earlier drafts of this guidance. We are particularly grateful to the country teams in Ghana, India, Kenya and Nepal for their important role in enabling m eetings with farmers’ groups. We would like to thank also the many farmers, too numerous to name individually, in different villages for offering their hospitality and giving their time to talk to us about their practices and respond to our questions.

    This handbook is intended to facilitate an educational approach designed to increase the adoption of on-farm practices that support the organisms that provide ecosystem services. It is produced through the contribution of two projects: the Global Environment Facility (GEF) supported project “Conservation and management of pollinators for sustainable agriculture, through an ecosystem approach” implemented in seven countries – Brazil, Ghana, India, Kenya, Nepal, Pakistan and South Africa; and the EU-funded FP7 project LIBERATION (linking farmland Biodiversity to Ecosystem services for effective eco-functional intensification) – focusing on building the evidence base for ecological intensification in intensive and extensive farming landscape of countries within Europe.
