The three phases of the NUTMON methodology in analysing nutrient flows and balances for farming systems are described, as well as the possibilities of application of the methodology in the context of peri-urban agriculture. The farm diagnosis tool NUTShell was used to link nutrient flows with economic flows. Results of a study, conducted in three districts in Kenya, on the use of the NUTMON methodology are presented.
