Scientific objectives and research project

The International Joint Lab IDEAL is a transdisciplinary lab between IRD ESPACE-DEV and the Federal University of Paraiba, along with other partners, including FUNCEME, Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte, and INCT Odisseia (University of Brasilia). Other collaborating institutions in our broader network are GBIF, the University of São Paulo, and INCT OndaCBC. Our goal is to understand and operationalise ways to jointly mobilise agroecology, Indigenous sciences, human and social sciences, and artificial intelligence to identify trajectories of socio-ecological coviability in Brazil.
