Collecting data prior to the launch of the Kiwa #POLFN learning farm centers in Tonga

In Tonga, the team of the Kiwa regional #POLFN project has been conducting #assessments and surveys to analyze the specific needs of local farmers in the new learning farm centers.

Understanding their contexts, capacities, and natural loads increases the quality and relevance of learning processes and material.

Three assessments were conducted to measure the most significant criteria, such as:

• #TAPE Tool for Agroecological Performance Evaluation
• Socioeconomic components
• Farm carbon footprint and land utilization

This insightful data promotes #agricultural #sustainability and #farmer #resilience.

Keep an eye out! On Tuesday, August 8th, Tonga's learning farm centers will be launched.

The assessments were enabled thanks to a close collaboration between POETCom, The Tongan Government, the Tonga National Youth Congress and the Kiwa Initiative.
