We focus on research and knowledge transfer around three main axes: (1) the analysis of forest and agrarian policies, examining priorities, conflicts, synergies, and their impacts on management and value chains; (2) social innovation and participation, promoting multi-actor processes, co-creation, and social inclusion to transform the relationship between society and nature; and (3) forest bioeconomy, through the assessment of financing mechanisms, property rights, environmental valuation and business models to strengthen sustainable value chains.
Our objective is to generate knowledge and tools that connect forest management with governance, society and the economy in order to tackle the great challenges of global change.
