Agricultural Landscapes as Silver Bullet for SDGs?

Integrated Land Management Approach for the SDGs
• Land & food systems an SDG “silver bullet”• Multi-sectoral planning and cooperation• ES link disparate Conservation & Development • Identify tradeoffs/opportunities across landscapes• Nudge needle on a number of SDGs

To address ES- SDG Gap: SNAP project
1) How can we quantify ES for SDGs (relevant to policy needs)?
2) How can we evaluate them in an integrative manner demanded by the SDGs

Mapping Ecosystem Services to Human wellbeing
Aiming for: User-friendly interface Easy to alter parameters Speed Default datasets User-driven output formats Plug-in capacity for other ES models
