Usage Guidance
-
This metric is intended to capture the percent of payments to suppliers that went to smallholder farmers during the reporting period. This metric may be useful for organizations that procure agricultural products (for example, coffee, tea, or vanilla) from smallholder farmers.
-
In some contexts, this metric can serve as an indicator of whether the outcome being sought by an investor or organization is occurring (the WHAT dimension of impact). For more on the alignment of IRIS metrics to the five dimensions of impact, see specific guidance document. No single metric is sufficient to understand an impact; rather, metrics are selected as a set across all dimensions of impact. When possible, the selection of metrics to measure and describe the five dimensions should be based on best practice and evidence.
