This study contributes to further development and refinement of the TEEB Framework, through the lens of farming approaches to rice in Senegal. It explores the agricultural policy landscape in the region, and in particular the extent to which these policies influence the way in which ecosystems and biodiversity, livelihoods and equity, and nutrition and health are captured. The study sets out an approach for assessing various types of interventions in the agriculture and food sector of rice production in Senegal that might be used to capture these values so that hitherto invisible value-additions are recognized and accounted for in decision-making.
