Resilience Design in Smallholder Farming Systems: A Practical Approach to Strengthening Farmer Resilience to Shocks and Stresses

This technical guide helps farmers and those who support them gain a deeper understanding of their farming systems within their agroecosystems. Guided by a set of principles, farmers can develop a more integrated site design in relationship to their unique community and surrounding natural systems, ultimately building a more adaptive and productive farming system that is more resilient to the increasingly frequent and intense environmental and economic shocks and stresses that affect it.
