Abstract

In 1980, IIASA joined with the Centro de Investigation en Quimica Aplicada (CIQA) in order to study alternative production chains based on the renewable resources of the Northern Arid Region of Mexico. This study applied the "WELMM Approach" developed at IIASA. Its objective was to account for the basic resources used and processed along alternative production chains, from cultivation and harvesting of the plants to the final products.

WELMM analyses of each of the production chains are now being completed, and IIASA and CIQA have decided to expand their cooperative efforts to include an analysis of alternative development projects for the Northern Arid Region based on these production chains. This paper presents a prospectus for the expanded study.
