TOA-MD5.0: A Novel Approach to Multi-Dimensional Impact Assessment
- The TOA Project develops modeling tools that can be used by research teams to improve the understanding of agricultural system sustainability and inform policy decisions.
- The TOA Project also provides training to empower researchers and institutions to use these modeling tools.
- For more information on the Tradeoffs approach, check out these key publications and the TOA project history.

"...greater emphasis must be given to producing the data and analytic tools for others to do the research themselves and providing open access to those tools." - Research for Development, World Bank Policy Research Paper 5437, Sept 2010.
