Sustainable ecosystem services and poverty alleviation in China's Loess Plateau - an ecologically fragile area suffering from serious soil erosion and massive poverty - involves changing the perceptions and production behaviours of the rural poor. This is a difficult and challenging task, according to two decades of development practices in this area, as top-down government intervention often ignores the complexity of local ecosystems, the diversity of the needs of the rural poor, and alternative livelihoods. Nonetheless, farmer participatory technology learning and project design are being paid increasing attention in China and specifically in the Loess Plateau. By establishing a UK-China research and training network, this project attempts to bring the rural poor into the centre of ecosystem services and poverty alleviation programmes. The network brings together key researchers to investigate a range of issues relating to farmer innovation systems and poverty alleviation in the Loess Plateau, in order to understand the complexity of local ecosystems, the diversity of farmer production behaviours and coping strategies, the potential of farmer innovation, and the limitations of government development intervention. The network will undertake a number of activities aimed at enhancing the capacity to conduct research in this area. In particular it will collect, analyse and disseminate the good practices of farmers leading innovation nationwide; bring a group of UK experts to north Shaanxi to carry out interdisciplinary observation and communication with Chinese scholars, local authorities and farmers directly; and arrange for a Chinese delegation to visit Britain in order to enhance collaboration with policy makers, research institutions and representatives of international environmental NGOs in the UK.

中国黄土高原是一个遭受严重水土流失和大规模贫困的生态脆弱地区，可持续的生态系统服务和扶贫涉及改变农村贫困人口的观念和生产行为。根据该领域20年的发展实践，这是一项艰巨而具有挑战性的任务，因为自上而下的政府干预往往忽视了当地生态系统的复杂性、农村贫困人口需求的多样性以及其他生计方式。尽管如此，农民参与式技术学习和项目设计在中国，特别是在黄土高原地区越来越受到重视。通过建立中英研究和培训网络，该项目试图将农村贫困人口纳入生态系统服务和扶贫项目的中心。该网络将主要研究人员聚集在一起，研究与黄土高原农民创新系统和扶贫相关的一系列问题，以了解当地生态系统的复杂性、农民生产行为和应对策略的多样性、农民创新的潜力以及政府发展干预的局限性。该网络将进行一些活动，旨在提高在这一领域进行研究的能力。特别是，它将收集、分析和传播农民在全国范围内引领创新的良好做法；带领英国专家小组到陕北，与中国学者、地方政府和农民直接开展跨学科观察和交流；安排中国代表团访问英国，加强与英国政策制定者、研究机构和国际环保非政府组织代表的合作。
