The Project's main goal is to generate information and knowledge that can be used to better manage and conserve below-ground biodiversity (BGBD) in tropical agricultural landscapes. The knowledge generated by the project contributes to the maintainance of agricultural productivity and thereby contributing to the reduction of incursion of agriculture into natural landscapes (e.g., cutting of natural forests, etc). The Project is continuosly building capacity (i.e., that of scientists, farmers, NGOs, CBOs, environmentalists, etc) for better conservation and sustainable management of BGBD by encouraging information exchange and providing training to individuals and institutions where gaps exists and upon demand from the participating project partners.
