ALTER WP1 IMPACT PATHWAYS Interventions

Ethiopian dilemma

Short term vs long term benefits(poverty is at the heart of the dilemma)Prevention vs rehabilitation ( too much focus on rehabilitation) Intensification with diversification vs intensification with specialization (focus on intensification with specialization) 2 m

Drivers

WP4. Delivery of development and academic impactWP3. Assess the effectiveness of mechanisms to alleviate poverty through soil carbon

WP1. Understand socio-economic relationships between soils and povertyWP2. Assess the capacity of the soil to supply ecosystem servicesALTER PROJECT

Impact pathways strategies 1. Organizing workshops (local + regional) To provide feedback to the communities about the findings and the implication of the various studies (avoiding the problem of data mining) To provide evidence to policy makers for possibility of action

2. Reports, leaflets etc. Sharing reports

Preparing story telling leaflets

Using local mass media

3. Scientific publications Modeling smallholders soil management options submitted Multidimensional poverty ready to submit Befit and dis-benefit from restoration areas ready for publication The link between dependency on ecosystem services an poverty Barriers to soil conservation measures
