We enable you to make choices about sustainable land use.
Landfutures is a national research center with the goal of promoting sustainable land use through transformative research and practice.
The center is led by Western Norway Research Institute and has been allocated funding until 2034.
Landfutures track:
What are the underlying causes of nature degradation and loss, and what are the most important barriers to sustainable land use?
How can transformation towards sustainable land use be understood from a cross-sectoral perspective – theoretically, methodologically and practically?
