|
The Tradeoff Analysis (TOA) project is part of the USAID Soil Management Collaborative Research Support Program (SM-CRSP). The TOA project supports the SM-CRSP objectives of technology transfer to address poverty, food security, and sustainability of agricultural systems through the development and application of the TOA approach and TOA Model software.
The TOA project’s goals are to disseminate and further develop the TOA method and modeling tools to support informed policy decision making. This is accomplished through collaborative research and training projects with national and international research organizations.
For publications describing the TOA approach and modeling tools, go to Publications/TOA. Go to www.tradeoffs.nl for current information about model developments, an on-line TOA course, and downloads of models and data. |

 A Soil Carbon Accounting and Management System for Emissions Trading. Soil Management Collaborative Research Support Program.
