Validating Farmland Biodiversity Life Cycle Assessment at the Landscape Scale
A new study of Noëlle Klein evaluates the Swiss Agricultural Life Cycle Assessment for biodiversity SALCA-BD, which is used to compare the impact of different agricultural management options on different species groups.
Aligning social networks and co-designed visions can foster systemic innovation in the Alps. A new paper from the PLUS MountainPathways project just got published in the journal Regional Environmental Change (REC).
By combining social network analysis and visioning, we identify innovation capacities in two case studies in the Alps. On the one hand, the Visp mountain region shows better preparedness for general innovation given collaboration network characteristics such as a better defined small world topology, better capacity for coordination, and better quality of collaboration relationships.
