Phase 1 & 2: Semantics and Syntax
The purpose of the Farmer Income & Costs of Production Working Group is to convene the public and private sector to create common guidance regarding metrics and protocols to measure farm and household income. This work pulls heavily from collaborations between COSA and SFL, ISEAL, GCP, ICO, KIT and LICOP, among others and the learnings from the many private sector partnerships of which COSA has been part. The overarching goals of this collaboration are:
1. Define indicators, tools and methods for data collection
2. Convene an expert panel to review and validate indicators, tools, and methods
3. Presentation of the finalized tools to be adopted by relevant stakeholders
