This working paper provides an in-depth analysis of agroecology's effectiveness through the application of the FAO Tool for Agroecology Performance Evaluation (TAPE) in Benin, Ethiopia, Kenya, and Madagascar under the ProSoil initiative. It examines the multidimensional impacts of agroecological practices, focusing on economic, environmental, and social performance.

Key findings highlight the significant contributions of ProSoil activities in fostering agroecological transitions, with positive correlations observed between agroecological integration and improved biodiversity, soil health, productivity, and household income. Notable results also include enhanced food security and dietary diversity for participating households.

The working paper underscores the importance of a holistic approach to agroecology, integrating social, cultural, and economic dimensions alongside farming practices. It serves as a resource for policymakers, researchers, and practitioners, advocating for agroecological strategies as a sustainable solution to food security and environmental challenges.
