eco-efficiencyeco-efficiency• A management approach • World Business Council for Sustainable
Development• Endorsed 1992 Rio Earth Summit • A way for companies to contribute towards
sustainable development• “entails the delivery of competitively-priced
goods and services that satisfy human needs and bring quality of life, while progressively reducing ecological impacts and resource intensity throughout a product’s life cycle, to a level in line with the earth’s estimated carrying capacity.”

CIAT commodities are eco-CIAT commodities are eco-efficientefficient
Rice◦productivity reduced need to
deforestCassava
◦high energy output per hectareBeans:
◦fix nitrogen◦replace meat proteins
Forages: ◦protect and improve soils◦chickens & pigs require less feed

How to measure How to measure benefits/impacts?benefits/impacts?No eco-efficiency award existsMeasures
◦ Rarely absolute◦ Relative in time/space
Analysis becoming comprehensive◦ Physical scale
Plot & farm level Landscape, off-farm effects - externalities
◦ Market chain Product Entire food chain
All inputs, processing, packing, transportGlobal public goods
◦ Coordinated field survey questions

ConclusionsConclusionseco-efficient agriculture:
Is already part of CIAT The need wont go awayCan substantiate claims with
◦analysis◦testimonials
Can be a framework for ◦research ◦communication◦fundraising
