Food and Nutritional Security in the Peruvian Amazon - the ESPA-ASSETS Project
Channel: CIAT DAPA
Date: 2014-05-12

The Decision and Policy Analysis (DAPA) Research Area strongly believes  in the power of information for designing effective policies in terms of investments in agricultural development and natural resource conservation and management. Our goal is to contribute to improved decision-making across Latin America by providing novel and accurate information about agricultural systems and associated natural resources at all levels, from farm- to the continent- level. To ensure that the rural poor benefit from both public- and private-sector policies, we also work with key governmental and nongovernmental organizations.

In this video, Andy Jarvis explains the approach the ESAP-ASSETS project is taking to better understand the relationship between food and nutritional security and ecosystem services.  For more info, see www.espa-assets.org.
