Belmont Forum - European Joint Programming Initiative Collaborative Research: Sustainable Management of Agro-ecological Resources for Tribal Societies

该奖项为参与由贝尔蒙特论坛和农业、粮食安全和气候变化联合研究规划倡议（face - jpi）发起的14国全球变化研究项目的美国研究人员提供支持。贝尔蒙特论坛是一个世界性的高层组织。全球环境变化研究和国际科学理事会的主要和新兴资助者。它的目的是通过协调和调动国际资源，加速进行最迫切需要的国际环境研究，以消除可持续发展的关键障碍。该小组制定了一个资助框架，以支持以超出国家或双边活动能力的方式解决全球挑战的多边研究项目。每个伙伴国在一个联盟中为它们的研究人员提供资金，以减轻对跨越国际边界的资金的需求。这种方法有助于有效利用国家资源，支持对全球相关主题的优秀研究，最好通过多国方法解决，同时认识到全球挑战需要全球解决方案。贝尔蒙特论坛和jpi - face合作，为研究项目提供了支持，这些项目寻求提供行动所需的知识，以减轻和适应与粮食安全和土地利用变化有关的有害环境变化和极端危险事件。该奖项为美国研究人员在联盟中合作提供支持，该联盟由至少三个参与国的合作伙伴组成，并将自然科学家、社会科学家和研究用户（如政策制定者、监管机构、非政府组织、社区和行业）聚集在一起。该项目旨在改善土壤和水资源管理，以帮助提高农村地区的农业生产力。该项目将调查不同的农业技术，以帮助建立适应环境变化的农业生产系统，并为农村农民提供自力更生的工具。该项目旨在研究增加农民获得农业技术和信息的新方法；通过加强价值链，将农民与市场联系起来，促进商品和服务的高效流动；并为其他地区建立一个框架，以便在粮食安全和土地利用管理方面采用有弹性的解决方案。

This award provides support to U.S. researchers participating in a project competitively selected by a 14-country initiative on global change research through the Belmont Forum and The Joint Research Programming Initiative on Agriculture, Food Security and Climate Change (FACCE-JPI). The Belmont Forum is a high level group of the world?s major and emerging funders of global environmental change research and international science councils. It aims to accelerate delivery of the international environmental research most urgently needed to remove critical barriers to sustainability by aligning and mobilizing international resources. This group developed a funding framework to support multilateral research projects that address global challenges in ways that are beyond the capacity of national or bilateral activities. Each partner country provides funding for their researchers within a consortium to alleviate the need for funds to cross international borders. This approach facilitates effective leveraging of national resources to support excellent research on topics of global relevance best tackled through a multinational approach, recognizing that global challenges need global solutions.Working together the Belmont Forum and JPI-FACCE have provided support for research projects that seek to deliver knowledge needed for action to mitigate and adapt to detrimental environmental change and extreme hazardous events that relate to food security and land use change. This award provides support for the U.S. researchers to cooperate in consortia that consist of partners from at least three of the participating countries and that bring together natural scientists, social scientists and research users (e.g., policy makers, regulators, NGOs, communities and industry). This project seeks to improve soil and water resource management to help increase agricultural productivity in rural areas. The project will investigate different agriculture techniques and technologies that can help make agricultural production systems that are resilient to environmental changes and provide rural farmers with tools for self-reliance. This project seeks to investigate novel ways to increase farmer access to agricultural technologies and information; to link farmers to markets and promote the efficient flow of goods and services through strengthened value chains; and to create a framework for other areas to adopt resilient solutions for food security and land use management.
