In view of the exciting field of sustainability science, collaborating with academic and industrial researchers as well as other stakeholders to pursue this evolving research in sustainable production and consumption of forest resource based products and services is extremely important.

One of the research works that we are currently pursuing is “Sustainability of Forest Bio-products: Understanding Economic Potentials, Environmental and Social Impacts through Life Cycle and Systems Perspective Approaches”. We are exploring the applicability of dynamic life cycle and other systems perspective modeling approaches for integrated societal, economic, and environmental impact assessment of forest ecosystems. This is part of the broader theme of dynamic interactions of environmental systems and society.
