Summary:The Agroecology Criteria Tool (ACT) methodology is based on the analytical framework by Gliessman on the 5 levels of food system change and is embedded within the 10 Elements of Agroecology by FAO. Each element of the transition includes a list of relevant topics (inclusion criteria), which were based on past work by DeLonge et al. Dimensions Used:Efficiency; Recycling; Regulation; Synergies; Diversity; Resilience; Circular Solidarity Economy; Culture & Food Traditions; Co-Creation of Knowledge; Human & Social Value; Responsible Governance Methodology: Under each dimension a number of binary Yes/No criteria are outlined, where "Yes" would indicate an agroecological criteria. As such it is very easy to complete the tool in a subjective way, as all questions are "Yes/No". Results are presented in the form of radar plots showing agroecological performance across the various dimensions. Usage: It is an online tool, but the tool is simple and could easily be recreated in ODK or other form builder tools for use offline. In this resource trove you will find Excel files in English and Spanish where the tools has been transcribed into a rubric too. Relevance to CCRP:Moderate. Tool is extremely easy to use and produce results. However, the subjective nature of questions means the tool will lack nuance, and different people will provide different assesments to the same project/farm/plot. Outputs are limited to radar plots, but outputs manipulated in various different ways.
