1) CIAT is working with local communities in Northern Tanzania to determine how to sustainably intensify farming systems through ecosystem service modeling. 2) When local soil data was used in a hydrological model compared to global soil data, the local data gave higher values for water-related ecosystem services. 3) Specifically, the local soil data estimated annual water yield to be 12% higher and annual runoff to be 23% higher than estimates using global soil data, suggesting global data may underestimate these services.
