Criterion P3: Resilient to disturbance
Production systems maintain the natural capital that sustains production over time and makes them resilient. Disturbances may include drought, flood, mudslides, disease, human migration and climate change.
| Indicator | Measurement Unit | Means of Measure |
| Yield | Changes in pre- post- disturbance yield (kg/ha) | Crop productivity |
| Land use/ cover |
Area (ha) under monoculture
Area (ha) under polyculture
% crop area with exposed soil post-harvest
# months per year of exposed soil
% land adjacent to production areas in trees/ shrubs
|
|
| Diversity of agricultural crops | # of crops in landscape | Land pattern analysis |
| Cover crop/ crop rotation practices | % production area in cover/rotation practice |
Geo-referenced household surveys, Household interviews |
| Pest and drought resistant crops |
# farms using resistant varieties
% land in various crop

| Livestock disease |
Prevalence of disease, or disease free status Frequency and impact of disease outbreaks in respective areas Risk levels associated with types of produciton systems in l/s Effectiveness of measures taken to prevent outbreask, and to contain them (traceability, veterinary surveillance, emergency preapredness) Funding available for scientifically sound testing Funding available for on-farm bio-safety measures |
