Integrated analyses of policies for sustainable rural economies (C11*)

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

This project provides an integrated analysis of socio-economic and ecosystem functions, aggregated at the scale of the local rural economy. We establish an Environmental and Social Accounting Matrix (ESAMs) to aggregate and link existing and future EFForTS data on socio-economic and ecosystem functions. Based on this accounting framework the project evaluates the effects of land-use change scenarios and policies (e.g. certifications schemes, land management regulations) on ecological and socio-economic functions. The project extends the socio-economic analyses to include large-scale plantations and integrates the plantation-based experiments.
