BioDIVA Research Project: Transformation-Knowledge Towards a Gender-Equitable and Sustainable Use of Biodiversity
BioDIVA conducts inter- and transdisciplinary research on land-use change and agrobiodiversity in South India.
The aim is to generate transformation knowledge that enables local land users and decision makers to assess the current situation and devise strategies for future land resource use.
The interactions between social, economic, ecological and institutional processes in the context of rice-biodiversity in the Western Ghats of Kerala, South India are examined.
