In order to provide its clients with reporting on carbon storage and livelihood outcomes, Carble needed to establish both an income and carbon baseline for each area of interest its clients are sourcing from. From our experience with measuring income, we know that income measurement surveys can be very long, ranging from 350-700 questions, and take about 1-2 hours.
Carble helps coffee brands reduce their carbon footprint by rewarding coffee farmers for the carbon they store in forest canopies. In order to monitor carbon storage, as well as how farmer livelihoods are impacted by these carbon-payments, Carble needs reliable data on carbon storage, income, and the living income gap.
From this pilot, we have learned that estimating the living income gap is possible using a shorter survey, although we cannot assess the quality of the data due to limited secondary data sources available. We encourage other actors to publish or share data on the living income of coffee farmers in Ethiopia so that we can compare our results. Likewise, we are interested in collaborating with other actors to pilot a short income measurement survey in other contexts.
Akvo designed an approach to calculating living income and the living income gap using a survey that could be conducted in less than 30 minutes. The data was collected among a sample of 75 small scale farmers. We consulted all partners involved in order to develop a lean income measurement survey that excluded irrelevant questions while tailoring the answer options for farmers.
