ABSTRACT:
The project "Human Resilient Networks towards Halting and Reversing Land Degradation for Ensuring Food Security” (HumResLand) aims to address land degradation recovery from a multi-point of view, leveraging cooperation, experience-sharing and skills transfer as core approaches among several EU partners countries with important agricultural potential. The project target is to contribute towards reaching the 15th Sustainable Development Goal of United Nations in the partner countries. This will be achieved by intensifying innovative international, intersectoral and interdisciplinary collaboration in research and innovation that is already in place between partners through staff exchanges and sharing knowledge and ideas at all stages of the innovation chain. It will involve research, technical, administrative and managerial staff supporting R&I activities. The key to the project lies in the transfer of knowledge on halting and reversing land degradation by validating and disseminating information among all partners and towards beneficiaries. The network we will create shall aim to develop a deep understanding of the way land degradation can be assessed, modelled, and integrated in the framework of sustainable management scenarios, strategies and policies. These will rely on fostering international human resource links as resiliency method against food security threats posed by land degradation. The importance and complexity of the problem of degraded land requires a multilateral study, which simultaneously includes multidisciplinary approaches provided by specialists.
