چکیده
Poppy, who also was a co-organiser of the meeting, leads a new research project called ASSETS (Attaining Sustainable Services from Ecosystems through Trade-off Scenarios). This project investigates two model regions at the forest–agriculture interface, one in Colombia and one in Malawi. The case studies cover around two million people, but the researchers believe that the results they obtain will be relevant to over 550 million people living in similar conditions around the tropics. Specifically, the interdisciplinary research team wants to achieve a quantitative analysis of the interactions between ecosystems and the people who interact with them. The three main research areas are investigating drivers and linkages, crises and tipping points, and the science–policy interface. With respect to policy, the researchers hope to make an impact on the food security in the areas concerned by improving the management of ecosystem services, by minimising risks, and by improving the integration between different levels of decision making.
