Kokonut Framework Tool

Estimate how a regenerative farm maps to SDG impact.

Use this calculator to model how farm size, labor, crop diversity, certification, biodiversity work, and MRV readiness can influence indicative SDG contribution scores.

Use as a planning tool, not a certified assessment. Scores are indicative. Impact claims should be verified through farm records, MRV payloads, public Data Hub entries, and annual reports before they are used in proposals or public reporting.

Primary SDG contribution scores

Adelphi tracks five primary SDGs. SDG 13 is shown separately as a climate co-benefit until carbon methodology is fully operationalized.

Assumptions

Input	How it affects the model
Crop system	More diverse systems increase food, biodiversity, and resilience scores, but can reduce simple revenue-per-m² assumptions.
Workers	Employment affects SDG 1 and SDG 8, especially when paired with training and stable farm operations.
Women-led	Women-led ownership or management increases SDG 5 and reinforces household and community resilience.
MRV-ready	MRV readiness improves confidence because claims can be checked against records, attestations, and reports.

Verification checklist

Claim	Evidence to collect
Food production	Crop cycles, harvest logs, egg records, and distribution records.
Jobs and training	Role descriptions, payment records, workshop attendance, and contributor logs.
Biodiversity	Species inventory, nursery records, geospatial data, and field observations.
Climate co-benefit	Soil data, vegetation indices, methodology notes, and annual MRV reporting.
