Landscape recovery

The challenges of creating an enduring system for Lansdcape Recovery….

 

  • Circumstances and science can significantly change over 20 years so adaptability is going to be key, while funders will want to be reassured they will get value for money;
  • Plans, including funding and who gets what, will probably need to be agreed by a number of land managers and those benefiting from the resulting ecosystem services as well as Defra so governance has to be able to easily formalise multi-party agreements;
  • Given the uncertainties over 20 years, there is going to be the need to both agree on long-term broad aspirations as well as shorter-term specifics;
  • Others such as stakeholders, experts and the community need to be involved too; and
  • Finally governance only really gets tested when things go wrong which is almost bound to happen over 20 years so dispute settlement processes are going to be key.

Rewilding is an approach to restoring biodiversity and ecosystem health by working towards returning habitats back to their natural state.

Policy plays a critical role in shaping the agriculture industry in the UK and Europe. Government policies can have a major impact on the way that farmers operate, the crops they grow, and the prices they receive for their products. Policy has a major effect on how land is managed and environmental outcomes.
