Webinar // Spatially explicit approaches at the food–biodiversity–climate nexus
Achieving food, biodiversity, and climate goals in tandem requires managing land-use systems for multiple purposes. This NEXUS Gains Talk will focus on using spatial datasets to guide and prioritize interventions on and off-farm to support food security, biodiversity conservation, and climate mitigation objectives.

Achieving food, biodiversity, and climate goals in tandem requires managing land-use systems for multiple purposes. This NEXUS Gains Talk will focus on using spatial datasets to guide and prioritize interventions on and off-farm to support food security, biodiversity conservation, and climate mitigation objectives.
Sarika Mittra will present an approach to agrobiodiversity hotspot and production system threat mapping – used to pinpoint places where increasing farm- and landscape-level plant and tree diversity can provide multiple benefits.
Federico Frank will discuss an integrated modeling approach used to downscale results from the FABLE Calculator food and land-use system model and provide land-use prioritization maps aimed at achieving food security, biodiversity, and water conservation goals in tandem.
