As Resilience Design is increasingly implemented across multiple organizations, programs and contexts, these minimum standards serve as a guide for ensuring consistency and quality. They apply to all humanitarian and development programs implementing Resilience Design approaches, whether at a garden scale or across a larger landscape. Any site applying RD should, at a minimum, have these components in place.
This document provides an overview of eight minimum standards that apply to all RD site interventions. For specific implementation of these standards at the garden or farm level, see the Permagarden Checklist and the Resilience Design Checklist.
