SOLVING THE LAND USE JIGSAW

This SEDA Land event on integrated land use could help shape the Scottish Government's delivery plan for its Third Land Use Strategy 2021-2026. SEDA will look at how Scotland might balance the competing needs of land for food production, timber for construction and bioproducts as an alternative to fossil fuels, at the  same time as allowing space for biodiversity, carbon sequestration and recreation. Should we have national  strategic zoning of land use, or should this be done at a regional, or local grassroots level by organisations  such as ‘farmer clusters’?  

Join an expert panel representing different sectors and regions with two scientists talking about a new tool for assessing land uses in terms of a matrix of measurements and an approach to landscape planning that integrates social and ecological elements.  

There is unlikely to be one-size-its-all and we are likely to need several systems working at diferent scales.  As we decide which path to follow, we need to reimagine our future landscapes.  

This event forms part of GO Falkland, the two day regenerative farming festival, following the successful introduction of a Groundswell Outreach last July.

This event is free to anyone attending GO Falkland. We will let you know when tickets are available for the festival.
