Descripción del proyecto
Una mejor comprensión de la agrosilvicultura
La agrosilvicultura es un sistema de ordenación del uso del suelo que tiene diversos beneficios, incluidos el aumento de la diversidad biológica y la reducción de la erosión. El objetivo del proyecto financiado con fondos europeos UNDERTREES es crear una red internacional e intersectorial de quince organizaciones en tres continentes (Europa, África y América del Sur) para trabajar en un programa de investigación conjunta en el campo de la agrosilvicultura y la evaluación de los servicios ecosistémicos. Los participantes, procedentes del mundo académico, el gobierno y la empresa, intercambiarán conocimientos y competencias para lograr avances clave en la evaluación y el diseño de sistemas de agrosilvicultura, al tiempo que se fomenta el intercambio de personal de investigación e innovación colaborativa entre los distintos continentes.
Objetivo
The overarching objective of UNDERTREES is to form an international and inter-sectoral network of 15 organisations in 3 continents (Europe, Africa and South America) working on a joint research programme in the field of agroforestry (AF) and ecosystem services (ES) assessment. The participants are academic, government and enterprises that will exchange skills and knowledge to progress towards key advances in agroforestry systems’ evaluation and design, while enhancing collaborative research and innovation staff exchange across different continents. Skills and knowledge exchanges with African and South America countries, where agroforestry has a sound historical role in fostering environmental and socio-economical sustainability, will advance in agroforestry systems comprehension, with significant benefits for the European environment and society. The staff members in the project will develop new skills, will be exposed to new research environments and will have their career perspectives widened. To achieve its aim UNDERTREES identified research, training, and participatory activities at 16 study sites in 5 biogeographical areas, within three thematic areas: (1) agronomic and environmental sustainability, (2) socio-economic sustainability and (3) policy development. UNDERTREES will advance research by strengthening intersectoral cross-country collaboration, will provide training and education at academic and technical level, and will engage with local, national and international stakeholders to create shared knowledge on agroforestry ES for EU agricultural policy development.
