Most importantly\, it respects and centers local farm community knowledge. \nThe framework is designed to be applicable worldwide in cropping\, grazing\, and agroforestry systems and to assess outcomes across a range of fibers\, farm scales\, and geographic contexts. It includes a specific focus on smallholder farmers and resource-limited farming.
