In the project 5 market places are developed. Each marketplace will support uptake of at least one of the FAB Measures as defined by the FABulous Farmers project, this may be as part of a whole agroecological system practised on farm. In order to verify delivery of ecosystem services and functional agrobiodiversity the verification of measures must include both the evidence of practices in place e.g. photos, maps, self-assessed verification by farmer. In addition, the monitoring of environmental outcomes. This could be carried out by a third party or in some cases self-assessed by the farmer depending on audit requirements.
This report provides an overview and comparison of the verification approaches for each platform. Detailing where metrics and approaches harmonise and overlap. Additionally, how the approaches verify FAB measures.
