DAP ENVIRONMENTAL ECONOMICS

The mission of the DAP in environmental economics and local development is to contribute to the consideration, in economic choices, of issues linked to the preservation of the environment, natural resources and sustainable development in general. The methodology is based on a transdisciplinary approach that aims to provide a functional and operational characterization of interactions between nature and society. The results of this research will help to highlight the importance of environmental issues for the well-being of populations and for economic development, as well as to integrate environmental issues into the decisions of private players and public decision-makers.

The objective of this group is to contribute to the improvement of food and nutrition security in sub-Saharan Africa through action research based on innovative, participatory and transdisciplinary approaches.
