Setting the Stage | 17

transform the conditions for management of land-based natural resources to ensure delivery of a full array of eco­system services and food use. Demands are increasing for plant-based substitutes for fossil fuels for energy and indus­try, in competition with increasing global demands for plant and livestock products. These changes imply the generation

 

and effective sharing, access and use of AKST to develop new genotypes, land management systems and value chains that can deliver multiple functions and are sustainable in rapidly changing social, governance, economic and environ­mental conditions.
