| − | This new decision-support software tool help spolicy makers, business planners and other stakeholders to make decisions on issues related to the use of forest and other natural resources, the production and consumption of (wood) products. ToSIA analyses Forest Wood Chains as chains of production processes which are linked by products. Each process is characterized using indicators of environmental, social, and economic sustainability. The tool quantifies sustainability impacts of user-defined decision alternatives in policies, management, markets or technology in a transparent way to offer an objective platform for communication and argumentation about sustainable development in the forest based sector. | + | This new decision-support software tool help spolicy makers, business planners and other stakeholders to make decisions on issues related to the use of forest and other natural resources, the production and consumption of (wood) products.
