Complex Adaptive Systems
The major environmental and agricultural challenges of the 21st century – such as dealing with climate change, feeding nine billion people, and increasing land and resource use efficiency – require a holistic approach that integrates social with life and environmental sciences. This is the core focus of the IPOP theme Complex Adaptive Systems.
For more information on the Complex Adaptive Systems theme, including short videos, see our SiLiCo initiative and small online course.

In 2017 there is a Summer School on Complex Adaptive Systems for Resilience in Wageningen.
