A sex disaggregation of " joint" can be used in t h o s e c a s e s w h e r e m e n a n d wo m e n s h a r e equally in decision-making regarding the use of land. “Joint” is not applicable to situations in which a male makes the management decisions about the land and a female mainly p r o v i d e s l a b o r. who makes the decision(s) on what to plant and how, when to har vest, which inputs to purchase and how to use them AGGREGATION For number of hectares (4.5.2-2), the area planted is counted each time it is cultivated with one or more improved technologies or practices during the reporting year. For example, if a farmer applies an improved technology or practice to a plot that is cultivated three times during the reporting year, the area of the plot is counted each time and reported as a sum.

J u l y 2 01 3 . ` MEASURING AGRICULTURAL AREA Two of the four indicators covered in this guide require measurement of the area under production – gross margin (4.515) and hectares under improved technologies or management practices (4.5.2-2). In both cases, the relevant measure for crops and aquaculture ponds is hectares, often converted from local units. For gross margin, this data point represents the unit of production, and is used in the denominator when calculating the commodity -specific gross margin value. For many livestock products, the unit of production is not land -based (i.e., cannot be measured by area), and is therefore reported as the number of animals involved in production; for fisheries, the unit of production is either hectares (for aquaculture ponds) or cages . Pp 14 –different methodologies of measurements for different land types including ponds – tape and compass, GPS, Pacing, farmers’ estimates and remote sensing Preliminaries < 10 Executive Summary 1 Body Introduction Site Description Strategic Activities Field Data collection and processing Summary of Analysis Next steps References Appendices Workplans FtF Indicators monitoring uptake of improved technologies and practices This indicator seeks to measure the number of farmers and others (e.g., farmers, ranchers, producers, entrepreneurs, managers, traders, processors (individuals only), natural resource managers) that are applying improved technologies or management practices promoted through USG -supported programs, disaggregated by whether or not the farmer had begun applying the technology or practice for the first time within the reporting year (new) or whether s/he had begun using it in the year prior to the current reporting year and continues to apply it in the current reporting year (continuing), and by sex. In the Feed the Future context, it is assumed that any “new” technology is an “improved” technology.
