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

该奖项为美国研究人员提供支持，该研究人员通过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（FACCE-JPI）参与由14个国家的全球变化研究倡议竞争性选择的项目。贝尔蒙特论坛是一个高层次的世界集团？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。 它的目的是通过调整和调动国际资源，加快提供最迫切需要的国际环境研究，以消除可持续性的关键障碍。该小组制定了一个供资框架，以支持以超出国家或双边活动能力的方式应对全球挑战的多边研究项目。每个伙伴国家都在一个财团内为其研究人员提供资金，以减轻跨越国际边界的资金需求。 这一办法有助于有效利用国家资源，支持对具有全球意义的专题进行最好通过多国办法加以处理的出色研究，认识到全球挑战需要全球解决方案。贝尔蒙特论坛和JPI-FACCE为研究项目提供了支持，这些项目旨在提供采取行动所需的知识，以减轻和适应与以下方面有关的有害环境变化和极端危险事件：粮食安全和土地使用变化。 该奖项为美国研究人员提供支持，使他们能够在由至少三个参与国的合作伙伴组成的联盟中进行合作，并将自然科学家，社会科学家和研究用户（例如，政策制定者、监管机构、非政府组织、社区和行业）。 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和工艺，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。 该项目旨在探索新的方法，以增加农民获得农业技术和信息的机会;通过加强价值链，将农民与市场联系起来，促进货物和服务的有效流动;并为其他地区建立一个框架，以采取粮食安全和土地使用管理的弹性解决方案。

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.
