Abstract

There is real interest in yield gap analysis from farm records right now, and real uncertainty about exactly where it delivers the
most value. We pull together the current evidence for yield gap analysis from farm records, covering the methodological,
practical, governance and cost angles, with an eye on where practice has genuinely settled and where farms and advisors are still
largely working it out for themselves. Selective, context-specific adoption looks better supported by the evidence gathered here
than either broad rollout or blanket avoidance.
