Location: Conference Centre Wallenberg, Medicinaregatan 20 A, Göteborg
Lunch is included!
The ‘landscape’ view has risen in importance within discussions on sustainability, resilience, improved
agriculture and climate change. This is particularly evident in large parts of the developing
world where landscapes are heterogenic in character and the sectorial divisions of agricultural,
pastoral and forestry land use are less evident. We will look at the role a landscape focus has for
improving research, policy and practice. The seminar will especially look at the landscape approach
from a carbon perspective. The presentations will cover different aspects ranging from experiences
of measuring carbon in the landscape to implementation of programmes to promote agro-forestry
and to improve livelihoods which at the same time store carbon in the landscape.
