MESH-ing Ecosystem Services & Human well-being for the SDGsSarah Jones & Sylvia Wood
New Policy Context
Agricultural Landscapes as Silver Bullet for SDGs?
Integrated Land Management Approach for the SDGs
• Land & food systems an SDG “silver bullet”• Multi-sectoral planning and cooperation• ES link disparate Conservation & Development • Identify tradeoffs/opportunities across landscapes• Nudge needle on a number of SDGs

Designing multi-functional landscapes
To address ES- SDG Gap: SNAP project
1) How can we quantify ES for SDGs (relevant to policy needs)?
2) How can we evaluate them in an integrative manner demanded by the SDGs

Stakeholders: Volta basin focus
Water scarcity and land degradation
• Strong need and interest in finding cross-sectoral synergies - $
• Challenge of data and tools
Nutrition
Science-policy workshop
Crop production value per land unit ($/ha)
Prevalence of undernourishment if food is sourced locally (calorie only) / (macro-nutrients only) / (micro-nutrients only)
Agricultural land at high / low / no risk of land degradation (%)
Crop production value per water unit ($/m3)SDG 2 (food)
No. people without access to sufficient quantity of quality water
SDG 3 (health)
No. people living in malaria risk zoneSDG 6 (water)
Human water quality footprint (index)
Population exposed to diarrhoeal disease
Total annual gross soil erosion on ag land (t/ha)
Ag land with low carbon emissions (%)

Using Trade-Off Analysis for ILM
Challenges1. Data intensive2. Technically challenging3. Many steps & programs 4. Heavy pre- & post-processing
Mapping Ecosystem Services to Human wellbeing
Aiming for: User-friendly interface Easy to alter parameters Speed Default datasets User-driven output formats Plug-in capacity for other ES models
MESH Model Interface1. Scenario Generator
2. Select relevant ES
3. Run the models
4. Results output
5. Report
