The document, which also includes a practical Diagnosis Scorecard, provides guidance to sustainable commodity production practitioners from government, civil society and private sector on how to collaboratively assess and strengthen farmer support systems in order to achieve the broader goal of improving livelihoods and protecting vulnerable ecosystems. The Farmer Support Toolkit is intended to facilitate multi-stakeholder and joint diagnosis, investigation and agreement on systemic solutions to strengthening existing farmer support systems; and supports the elaboration of a collective vision, strategy and implementation plans for strengthened national and sub-national farmer support systems.
