A document containing guidelines for constructing typologies for farms, specifically in the varied context of tropical America, Asia and Africa.
Excerpt:
To capture variability of farming systems, typologies are an often-used tool. Typologies in research for development projects are used to effectively derive best-fit farm adjustments, improved policies and innovations in order to meet Humidtropics' goals.
The objective of this document is to provide guidelines for the construction of typologies. The general typology approach proposed here is to combine expert knowledge obtained through a participative approach with multivariate statistics.
