Desarrollo de habilidades en grupos científicos interdisciplinarios mediante el estudio de los impactos socioecologicos de la generacion de bioenergia en las Americas

The project utilized a study of bioenergy's socio-ecological impacts to build interdisciplinary skills among a team of 10 scientists and 8 students from social, natural, and engineering sciences. The team conducted 800 qualitative interviews and 1,000 quantitative surveys across Argentina, Brazil, Canada, Mexico, and the USA, with specific ecological data collected on birds and pollinators in Argentina, Brazil, and Mexico. Successes were noted in knowledge generation (one published article), funding (including an IAI Seed Grant proposal), team retention over two years, and the creation of a free online workshop on transdisciplinary teamwork. The project aims to inform policy improvements to increase sustainable energy benefits and socio-ecological resilience while minimizing negative impacts.

• The project successfully fostered interdisciplinary teamwork among 10 scientists and 8 students from social, natural, and engineering sciences, maintaining team engagement and retention over a two-year period.
• The team conducted extensive data collection on bioenergy impacts, completing 800 qualitative interviews and 1,000 quantitative surveys across Argentina, Brazil, Canada, Mexico, and the USA, including specific ecological research on pollinators and birds in Mexico, Brazil, and Argentina.
• The interdisciplinary approach yielded tangible outputs in knowledge generation, funding, and public outreach, including one published article, a student proposal for an IAI Seed Grant, and a free online workshop on transdisciplinary scientific teamwork.
• The research focuses on the tradeoffs of forest-related bioenergy, which is viewed as a tool for climate change mitigation and rural economic development, with the goal of informing policies that enhance socio-ecological resilience.
