Forward thinking platform: Future land use changes

This is about exploring the possible evolution of land uses in the future and how would they impact on food production, biodiversity, ecosystems functioning and local human development.
By tackling it with a forward thinking posture it is intended, through land use change studies combining quantitative and qualitative approaches, to i) better identify drivers (such as climate change, biofuels demand, nature conservation, urbanization, local economic dynamics, land and commodities prices…) and how they combine and ii) take into account the diversity of stakes and the complexity of their trade-offs.
