1-agroecology is systems based. The first scope is very relevant.
2-the agroecosystem is very diverse and complex. Understanding its composition and related functional relationships From a multisectorial and systems perspective is crucrucial for this task.
3-Current policies and regulations are not systems based and hence may be skewed. So assessing the policy environment is crucial. This must consider formulation, implementation andoperationalization processes vs FSN and SDGs Agenda 2030.
4-Indeed M&E must be in place. Often this aspect goes missing or it is badly set and so yields wrong statistics.
5-the need contrast the agroecology against other practices to clearly show its benefit to FSN and achieving SDGs.
6-The consultative process should as multistakeholder inclusive as possible. This can be based achieved by facilitating members of the team to consult widely in their countries and present in plenary their findings prior to compiling the final report.
