Towards Sustainable Land-Use in Europe

The European research project “Towards Sustainable Land-Use in the Context of Climate Change and Biodiversity in Europe (in short: Europe-LAND)” aims to develop, test and implement integrated tools that can improve our understanding of the factors behind land use decisions in Europe. In addition, Europe-LAND aims to explore the awareness and engagement of agricultural and land-use stakeholders in relation to the challenges of climate change and biodiversity. Our consortium strives to expand the knowledge base on how land use decisions can be influenced to efficiently and socially responsibly support policy goals such as mitigation and adaptation to climate change and biodiversity conservation. Finally, our dissemination activities will mobilise our stakeholders (e.g. land users, local, regional and national authorities, policy-makers, regulatory agencies etc.) by providing a smooth and efficient knowledge transfer of project results to our target groups.
