Systems research for integrated resource management and land use analysis in south and southeast asia

Objective

The problems of increased pressure on scarce resources (land, water, labour), in particular in intensive rice growing environments in S and SE Asia is such that it is no longer sufficient to evaluate management options at the field and farm level. The current project develops a multi-scale analysis framework for natural resource management and sustainable rural development and evaluates this unselected areas characterized by increasing intensification and diversification. The project builds on a modeling framework (LUPAS) and solid network for regional scale analysis. To apply a multi-scale approach (farm to region), LUPAS will be broadened:- in width (incorporation of environmental impacts)- in length (incorporation of long-term effects) and- in depth (incorporation of farmers' decisions).
