Measuring what matters in agriculture and food systems

A synthesis of the results and recommendations of TEEB for Agriculture and Food’s Scientific and Economic Foundations Report

This report serves as a synthesis of the 2018 Scientific and Economic Foundations report and proposes a new and comprehensive Evaluation Framework in the field of agriculture and food systems, while considering a range of social, human, and environmental dimensions across the value chain. It also describes how it can be applied and offers various opportunities for the Framework’s applications to decision-making.

The Economics of Ecosystems and Biodiversity for Agriculture & Food (TEEBAgriFood), hosted by UN Environment, encompasses various research and capacity-building projects focusing on the holistic evaluation of agriculture and food systems along their value chains and including their most significant externalities.
