Workshop: Landscape management and design for food, bioenergy and the bioeconomy: methodology and governance aspects

22 Jan 16

There is a need for improved understanding – and promotion – of biomass production in landscapes that generate multiple ecosystem services and support biodiversity. Governance of land use and other activities shaping our landscapes requires methods to assess impacts on biodiversity and ecosystem services. A multitude of approaches exist that address biodiversity and ecosystem services on different spatial and temporal scales. This diversity is important for advancing science and knowledge, but can create difficulties in situations where governance agreements are to be made.The workshop, organized in cooperation with the Global Bioenergy Partnership Activity Group 6 “Bioenergy and Water” aims to facilitate the sharing of views and experiences;  and provide the basis for a publication about methodologies and tools for assessing land-use impacts on biodiversity and ecosystems services, including an agenda for further advancement of science and knowledge in support of governance agreements on landscape management and design for food, bioenergy and the bioeconomy.
