Change in land surface under crop cultivation (by crop type) by the household

Code:
Result Level:
  • Impact
Objectives:
  • Productivity enhancement
Description:

Indicates land farmed and in use; hence increased surface is a proxy indicator for increased production and food security among vulnerable households. - Includes staple crop, vegetable and agroforestry production.

Disaggregated By:

Geography/Livelihoods zone; Head of household’s gender, age, disabilities, chronic diseases, dependency ratio, and any other relevant criteria, such as urban/rural context, religious, ethnic or political identities; Wealth groups; Livelihoods group (e.g. pastoralist, farmers, traders); Period to achieve the objective;

Measure Notes:

> Area of land cultivated by crop type relative to baseline - Proportional piling is a useful method for assessing proportions of various crops of overall cultivation surface or production. - Needs to consider potential changes in seasonal availability of agriculture inputs, needs to measure overall change. - Needs to consider potential changes in seasonal productivity, e.g. not every season in bimodal areas is similarly productive.
