Description:

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 Environment 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 meetings 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.
