what has worked, what has not, and why?
HOLISTIC PROJECT EVALUATION
Edhen applies an integrated approach to the evaluation of process. This is especially valuable when ecological, social and economic dimensions need to be considered together. This approach is relevant across different sectors. Edhen has successfully applied it in agriculture, education, social initiatives and health-related projects. With various applications and benefits:
- Depending on your particular needs, we deliver internal evaluations for your organisation or independent external evaluations.
- We assess what has worked, what has not and why. These insights help clients develop their own context-specific strategies and solutions.
- Depending on the scope of the assignment, holistic evaluations are also the first step in our consulting process.
WHOLE-SYSTEM APPROACH
SCIENCE-BASED PERMACULTURE
Permaculture provides an important framework for our work. Its principles extend beyond agriculture and can guide organisations, businesses and projects in developing more regenerative systems.
We combine permaculture principles with scientific evidence and practical local experience. Our whole-system approach considers the natural and built environment, water, energy, available resources and human activities.
By understanding how the elements of a system interact, we help develop integrated solutions adapted to local conditions and needs.
ORGANIC
AGROFORESTRY
Agroforestry is Edhen’s main area of agricultural expertise. We support the development of locally adapted systems that integrate trees with crops and, where suitable, livestock.
Well-designed agroforestry systems can improve farm productivity, profitability, soil health, biodiversity, carbon storage and climate resilience. They combine ecological regeneration with productive and economically viable land use.
This makes agroforestry a key regenerative solution - for addressing today’s agricultural and climate challenges.
