Trade-off issues in the Humidtropics1. An improved system-modeling framework that allows for integrated assessment of the impacts of specific interventions on productivity, profitability, and natural resource integrity under different biophysical and community settings within and across Action Sites.

2. A set of tools for trade-off analysis between various indicators related to specific interventions at various scales based upon the specific objectives of different stakeholder groups.

3. An understanding of necessary conditions for the occurrence of triple win scenarios.

4. Tools for strengthening adaptive capacity of the stakeholder groups involved in the R4D platforms to participate in tradeoff analysis and conflict resolution.
