Research ProgramResilient Dryland Systems
Vision: A prosperous, food-secure and resilient dryland tropics
Goal : Reducing vulnerability to drought and climate change while increasing diversity and value
System perspectiveIntegrated approach that combines component technologies and practices within natural resources and social and policy contexts, and includes the analysis of trade-offs and constraints
Activities include:• Analysisandintegrationofbiologicalandsocio-economicorlivelihoodsystems• Impactsandtrade-offsinbiologicalandlivelihoodsystemsacrossdifferent
