BACKGROUND
Solidaridad has vast and recognized experience working with farmers to support transition to climate-smart production systems and an extensive practical knowledge of smallholder farmers behaviour. However, designing a digitally supported pay-for-impact model that can help smallholders worldwide access benefits for adopting better practices and sharing their data requires a deeper analysis of the drivers of behaviour change as well as the systematization of a robust methodology to structure and channel these benefits through digital tools.
The purpose of this assignment is twofold: 1) provide research and analysis on financial and non-financial incentives for farmers in the context of Solidaridad’s intervention in the Brazilian Amazon and 2) design and prototype a replicable methodology to identify, structure and channel effective farmer incentives to speed up the adoption of better agricultural practices, including avoiding deforestation.
