C-CHANGE work on socioeconomic innovations focuses on promoting rural and urban socioeconomic development while also spurring investment in long-term care of land, water, wildlife, and other natural assets. We do this by:

• Building connections between scientists and entrepreneurs
• Developing business cases for valuing farm labor and ecosystem services
• Fostering markets for renewable agricultural goods and services

The Socioeconomic Innovations effort is led by Dara Wald.
