This document presents an approach to assess the impacts of agroecology (AE) on livelihoods in Laos, focusing on sustainable agricultural intensification and resilience to climate change. While AE practices like SRI and agroforestry have shown success at the plot level, their broader impact remains limited due to challenges in dissemination. The project emphasizes a transformative landscape approach, involving whole communities in participatory planning and implementation. A detailed monitoring and evaluation framework tracks changes across villages, households, and plots, using indicators on soil health, empowerment, livelihoods, and resilience. Baseline data, participation rates, and outcome measures aim to evaluate whether AE improves productivity, reduces vulnerability, and strengthens adaptive capacity.
