The approach draws elements from, and builds upon agroecology, permaculture, conservation agriculture, climatesmart agriculture, bio-intensive methods and ecosystem services, distilling some of these principles to make them more accessible to farmers and allowing farmers to understand their unique, holistic farm system. It identifies a suite of agricultural techniques from which to draw, and helps farmers select and adapt those best suited to the local context. The RD approach builds on strategies that development projects already use, making it easy to layer into existing programming. The overall goal of the RD approach is to design a site1 that improves soil health and water management — the most important resources for agricultural production — to develop a smallholder farm agro-ecosystem that is more resilient to environmental, social and economic shocks and stresses.2 The objective of this toolkit is to offer a number of tools and indicators for monitoring and measuring the impact of the RD approach that can be easily layered into existing agriculture monitoring and evaluation work. The toolkit offers tools for monitoring progress on farms and gathering data on soil health, production, income and expenses at the farm level, as well as a number of participatory impact assessment (PIA) methods to assess their impact. The monitoring tools are designed to be easily used by field staff in their everyday work not only for monitoring but also for learning, aiming to facilitate a dialogue between field agents and farmers to help improve farms and integrate feedback from the monitoring process. The community-level participatory impact assessment methods can work either alongside existing impact indicators or as standalone methods.
