In early September, Professor Oscar Cacho and Jonathan Moss participated in a workshop in Bogor, Indonesia as part of the ACIAR funded IndoGreen project. The workshop sought to plan the methods, data and survey design required to estimate the socioeconomic and environmental impacts of natural resource management policies in upland catchments of Indonesia.

Participants in this workshop included colleagues from the University of Adelaide, the International Center for Research on Agro Forestry, the Indonesian Center for Agricultural Socio-Economics and Policy Studies, Indonesian Ministry of Agriculture, the Indonesian Ministry of Environment and Forestry and the World Wide Fund for Nature. 

The workshop was very productive with the emphasis being on the development of implementable policies and methods that will enhance both the natural resource conservation and livelihood of farmers within these regions.
