International conference on sustainability in forestry and food production

The international conference "Shape your Sustainability Tools - and Let your Tools Shape you" will bring together researchers, policy-makers and practitioners from all over the world in discussion about Sustainability Impact Assessment of the Forest-based Sector. Around the globe, tools for analysing sustainability are being developed to help us make better choices. One of the conference focus areas will be on the EFORWOOD project main outcome, the ToSIA tool, a dynamic sustainability impact assessment model that analyses environmental, economic and social impacts of changes in forestry-wood production chains, using a consistent and harmonised framework from the forest to the end-of-life of final products. It will also be an opportunity for combining experiences and expertise with other EU Integrated projects (SENSOR, SEAMLESS and PLUREL) that are devolving similar tools to support decision-making on policies related to various areas of science, such as land use, environmental economics, socio-economics and landscape research.
