**Meine van Noordwijk**

Meine van Noordw (Ph.D. Wageningen University, 1987) served, until mid-2017, as Chief Scientist at World Agroforestry (ICRAF), based in Bogor (Indonesia), and since that time as Distinguished Senior Fellow. He is also a Professor of Agroforestry (em.) at Wageningen University (The Netherlands), and part of the agroforestry research group at Brawijaya University (Malang, Indonesia). Trained as biologist-ecologist he has experience with systems analysis and modeling of systems that range from single roots in the soil, via tree-soil-crop interactions, to the understanding of water, biodiversity, and greenhouse gasses at landscapes scales, and the conflicts that arise over multiple claims to landscape functions, to the institutional translation of ecosystem service concepts in a comprehensive approach to land use policy. His work experience includes Southeast Asia, East Africa and The Netherlands.
