Ecoagriculture is a landscape approach to natural resource management that seeks to sustain agricultural production, conserve biodiversity and ecosystem services, and support local livelihoods.

The Ecoagriculture Working Group (EWG) is a forum where the Cornell community can interact to help advance knowledge and understanding about this integrative land use paradigm for managing multifunctionality in rural landscapes. The EWG has roots in the Department of Natural Resource, and the Cornell International Institute for Food, Agriculture and Development (CIIFAD). It collaborates closely with Ecoagriculture Partners (EP), a Washington, D.C. based NGO.

Presently, the EWG and EP are collaborating on a Landscape Measures Initiative to develop a methodology for assessing the performance of ecoagriculture landscapes. The Landscape Measures Resource Center (LMRC), based on the Ecoagriculture Landscape Performance Framework, has been created to provide guidance to stakeholders in how to measure and assess progress in reaching the multiple goals of ecoagriculture in particular landscapes.  For information contact the EWG Coordinator, Louise Buck.
