Most research and innovation is framed to address the problems of today. But often, by the time the research is done, circumstances change and the proposed solutions are no longer relevant.

We devise solutions that will be relevant even 10–20 years later and take into account changes in climate and land use along with people’s aspirations for themselves and the communities and landscapes they inhabit.

Most research in universities focuses on understanding the problem better, not solving it. In contrast, solution innovation usually occurs in start-ups or grassroots organisations, but is rarely informed by research.

We enable a bi-directional exchange between research and innovation through evidence generation and better framing of research questions.

We want to have an impact beyond one or two pilots, which is why we do not work alone.

We partner with key actors in the ecosystem to co-create and implement solutions based on the best available scientific evidence.
