Abstract :
The main purpose of the knowledge base (KB) is to feed the dialogue through the establishment of a body of knowledge that is accepted by both agricultural and environmental constituencies. The focus of the KB is on issues related to food security and environmental sustainability. The objectives are to contribute to widely accepted definitions and shared databases, establish knowledge acceptable by both agricultural and environmental constituencies, particularly on alternative development paths or scenarios and on their consequences and impacts and to feed established information into the dialogue process.
