Short summary

Explores the barriers and drivers for transformation in forest landscapes.

LANDPATHS

LANDPATHS – Multifunctional landscapes of the future: barriers and drivers along the path of transition – is a project that aims to develop strategies to promote multifunctional landscapes that serve several purposes at once. These landscapes should be rich in biodiversity, while also being usable for various societal needs.

The project is led by Uppsala University, with researchers from SLU (Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences), Stockholm University, and Södertörn University participating.
