The document discusses the Landscape Measures Initiative, which provides a framework for assessing agroforestry landscapes. The initiative aims to secure livelihoods and sustain agriculture while conserving biodiversity and ecosystem services. It takes an integrated approach, linking local actions to broader ecosystems and merging ecosystem and stakeholder perspectives. A key part of the initiative is developing tools to support stakeholders in landscape assessment, monitoring, design, and planning through a participatory, adaptive process. The next step will be testing the approach with diverse organizations engaged in integrated resource management.
