The negotiation support systems (NSS) approach that ICRAF developed in SE Asia requires tools or instruments for rapid appraisal of the site specific form of general problems and issues. The TUL-SEA project will further develop the'toolbox' containing Participatory Landscape Appraisal (PALA), Rapid appraisal of tenure claims (RATA), market (RMA), hydrology (RHA), agrobiodiversity (RABA) and carbon stocks (RaCSA). It will also test and further develop the simulation models for scenario analysis of landscape-level impacts of changes in market access (FALLOW) or agroforestry technology (WaNuLCAS). These tools may be used by local resource managers or national institutions to appraise the likely impacts of new technologies and changes in market access and to support evidence-based negotiations of contentious issues. Therefore, ICRAF is managing the Trees in multi-Use Landscapes in Southeast Asia (TULSEA) project to bridge perception gaps between stakeholders (local, public/policy and scientific knowledge paradigms), increase recognition and respect for these multiple knowledge systems, provide quantification of tradeoffs between economic and environmental impacts at landscape scale, and enable joint analysis of plausible scenarios based on available data and information. The activities of TULSEA Project are divided into 4 working packages (WP), there are WP1 for improving the tools from existing generic tools and methods, WP2 for capacity building, WP3 for site testing of the tools and WP4 for synthesis. The project may be able to improved land use practices contribute to increased and sustained productivity and conservation, reduced conflicts and equitable use of land, water and forest resources in multi-use landscapes with trees while the income of smallholder producers is increased through research relevant to major high value fruit and other tree production systems.
