| Innovation Title | Land-use modelling, scenarios and decision-support tools to optimize integrated fish-agri food systems |
| Innovation description | Novel GIS and modelling approaches characterizing rice-fish systems integrating biophysical, land-use and rights, demographic and social data layers. This allowed the production of a unique dataset that considers key biophysical, land use and socioeconomic characteristics of the Ayeyarwady Delta region. Outputs include suitability maps designed as decision-support tools and production-system scenarios and trade-off analysis for multi-functional landscapes. |

Stage reached
| Stage of Innovation | Stage 1: discovery/proof of concept |
| Year (Stage) | 2019 |
| Stage Description | Between stage one and two (i.e., typology developed in earlier phase, typology adaptations for 2020 publication). Maps and early models have been produced (Dubois et al. 2019) - further refinements in development. Capacity building efforts and policy dialogue commenced to increase likelihood of decision-making influence and tool uptake. |
