Dear FSN-Moderator
Many thanks for sending this email.
I would like to suggest the following for your kind consideration.
1. Female contributions to improve ecosystem services and resilience must be quantified and some indexes must be developed to realize the female personal as a community and their responsibility of safeguarding ecosystems they live in.
Examples
i. number of females in a house and amount of organic fertilizer produced from kitchen wastes
ii. amount of homemade fertilizer used for cultivation per unit home garden areas
iii. number of edible plant varieties could be found in the home garden or Number of edible plant varieties divided by the land area available for cultivation.
iv. amount of annual rainwater received to a particular home garden in meters multiplied by the home garden area
v. amount of pure rainwater used to recharge to replenish groundwater
vi. Value home garden products according to the current market price and save that money when they use home garden products. Amount of money saved by one household and how they utilized that money.
Best Regards
