Multifunctional Landscapes

In this vision, landscapes are co-created and managed by diverse stakeholders, who co-design technological, socioecological, and institutional innovations, engaged in policy processes, underpinned by inclusive governance and effective planning.

Challenges we’ll address

• Unsustainable global food production and consumption patterns for a growing population.
• Environmental degradation and biodiversity loss which already account for 80% of deforestation and two-thirds of ocean pollution, while degrading 85% of wetlands and threatening more than a million plant and animal species with extinction.
