Trade-offs between environmental values and agricultural development from potential road development (Nature 2014)
By 2050, 25 million km of new roads are anticipated, almost all in developing countries. This research theme develops spatial planning tools to weigh trade-offs between the environmental, agricultural, and economic outcomes of road development.
