As part of theCGIAR Research Program on Policies, Institutions, and Markets (PIM) and the Global Futures and Strategic Foresight Program, Bioversity International convened a workshop at its Headquarters near Rome, Italy, on May 7 and 8, 2015, on integrating biodiversity and ecosystem services into foresight models. The workshop was attended by 45 participants from CGIAR Centers and research partner institutions.
The goal of the workshop was to identify opportunities to enhance existing agricultural modelling capabilities to incorporate key ecosystem services affecting sustainable agricultural productivity growth, and to support these modelling capabilities with relevant geospatial data from Bioversity International and other sources.
The workshop focused on modelling biodiversity and ecosystem services on three scales:
- household/farm-level
- agricultural sector
- economy-wide
