DGIS (Dutch development aid of the Dutch Government) has approved the second phase of the Ecoregional Methodology Fund. The Ecoregional Methodology Fund provided essential funds for the development of the Tradeoff Analysis Model in its first phase. In the second phase, it provides 250,000 US$ for a further development of this tool and to make it operational and test it. The application will focus on Kenya and the analysis of soil nutrient balances through a linkage with the nutrient monitoring tool NUTMON.` |
