SANREM CRSP cross-cutting initiatives
- Watershed Modeling and Assessment
- Linking Knowledge and Action: Meeting NRM Challenges
- Assessing and Managing Soil Quality for Sustainable Agricultural Systems
- Gendered Access to Markets: Gendered Networks and Livelihood Alternatives, and
- Soil Metagenomics to Construct Indicators of Soil Degradation.
These cross-cutting activities contribute to the overall SANREM CRSP program objectives of implementing multidisciplinary, multi-institutional research that mobilizes science and technology, fosters innovation and improvement in the social, economic, and environmental sustainability of agriculture and natural resource management, and leads to improved livelihoods and expanded trade opportunities and capacities for stakeholders. They also promote cooperation among individual LTRAs and respond to EEP review recommendations. In September 2007, when SANREM learned that it would be fully funded in the 2008 fiscal year with additional funds to make up for earlier budget cuts, the Technical Committee voted to use the extra money for cross-cutting activities.
