Overview

This project aimed to develop a Comprehensive Framework of Response Assessment (CFRA) for sustainable management of agricultural systems (land, soil, and water) that could be applied to assess different solutions at national, sub-national, and local levels.

The main features of the CFRA are its ability for assessing the relative costs, benefits, and effectiveness of different responses; for identifying the priority and sequence of responses for investment decisions, and for scaling up effective responses. The developed framework and associated analysis contributed to FAO’s State of the World’s Land and Water Resources for Food and Agriculture (SOLAW) 2021 (SOLAW2021).
