16. A FEW EXAMPLES OF THE IMPLICATIONS
Negative
outcomes for
farmers
Probability of
making poor
recommendations
for farmers
No
investment
Lack of information
increases risks for
financial institutions
Less value
for money
Lower efficiency and
efficacy of programs

20. Systematic review of the
ability of agricultural
technologies to deliver on
CSA outcomes,
to allow evidence-based
decision making for
diverse users

21. CHALLENGE 1:
DIVERSE
TECHNOLOGIES
• Classify practices in a
consistent way
• Be readily understandable
• Allow analysis at varying
levels of detail
Agroforestry
Alleycropping
Nitrogen-
fixing trees
Non-N fixing
trees
Parklands
Silvopasture
Sahelian
Parklands

22. CHALLENGE 2:
AGGREGATE
OUTCOMES
• Address all three pillars
• Quantifiable
• Allow analysis at varying
levels of detail
Meta-Analysis:
RR = ln(
Ycsa
Ycontrol
)

23. CHALLENGE 3:
DIVERSE USERS
Scale
Products
Technologies
Outcomes

24. AGRICULTURAL DECISIONS, ROOTED IN DATA
Put the user in control
Allow diverse analyses
Be a living database
Integrate other data
