Agroforestry Systems (AFS) are an alternative technique for recovering degraded ecosystems that, in addition to promoting ecological recovery in itself, also bring a social component by generally involving family farming. Currently, one of the obstacles to the dissemination of AFS in environmental recovery is the lack of a monitoring protocol for these systems that is easy to apply and can cover the wide diversity of existing models. Therefore, our objective was to collaboratively create a framework with these characteristics. Four workshops were held in different municipalities in the Vale do Paraíba region, Brazil, and one online workshop where small AFS producers were invited to contribute their opinions on the best indicators to monitor them. In the end, we created a framework with 21 simple indicators (seven socioeconomic ones). The framework was also tested to verify its applicability in three AFS models.
