For the purpose of this PAD, a "sustainable and resilient" approach is understood to only refer to practices that are at the same time agroecological and Area under sustainable and climate-smart. Agroecology is a holistic and integrated approach that simultaneously applies resilient agriculture practices ecological and social concepts and principles to the design and management of sustainable (Hectare(Ha)) agriculture and food systems. Examples of these land-related agroecological activities include, but are not limited to, agroforestry, intercropping, and market gardening. This indicator is used to report on the following PROGREEN indicators: Area of production landscapes under sustainable use (ha); Area under agroecological food production (ha); and Area of food productin systems with improved climate resilience (ha). 0.00 Oct/2022 0.00 08-Dec-2023 0.00 06-Jun-2024 1,176,000.00 May/2028 Comments on The indicator measures, in hectares, the land area for which new and/or improved sustainable Land area under sustainable achieving targets landscape management practices have been introduced.
