Obiettivo del progetto (Objective)
'VOLANTE aims to develop a new European land management paradigm, providing an integrated conceptual and operational platform which allows policy makers to develop pro-active and context-sensitive solutions to the challenges for the future, rather than to react on largely autonomous external land systems developments. Objective of VOLANTE is to provide European policy and land management with critical pathways defining the band width of possible land management policies for future European land use. Policy options will therefore be identified in time and space and their consequences in terms of states of the land system (provisioning of ecosystem goods and services) will be evaluated, leading to a ROADMAP FOR FUTURE LAND RESOURCES MANAGEMENT IN EUROPE. To realise this, VOLANTE is designed in three Modules to gain better understanding of the PROCESSES underpinning land use change in Europe, to exploit ASSESSMENT tools that are capable of identifying critical pathways for land management in a variety of environmental and management regimes across Europe, and to provide insight into the role of land management decisions on future sustainability: VISIONS. VOLANTE brings together researchers with experience and expertise on land use change at various spatial and temporal scales enabling a focus on vision development. Module Processes identifies land use change and the processes causing these, testing unproven hypotheses by extensively using the experience gained in earlier projects and studying crucial missing links. Problem orientation is the basis for the Module Assessment, which will narrow down the infinite spectrum of policy decisions possible. Module Visions establishes interaction with decision makers at regional and European level, to enhance an evidence based and problem oriented science-policy interface. A special, professional and consistent effort will be made to gather the views of a broad set of stakeholders and to include them in all steps of the process.'
Introduzione (Teaser)
In-depth studies and modelling scenarios of how land is being exploited will help produce policies that encourage sustainability and safeguard ecosystems across Europe.
Descrizione progetto (Article)
In a rapidly evolving world, land use is changing in unprecedented ways, a reality which must be confronted with an appropriate vision and accompanying policies. The EU-funded project 'Visions of land use transitions in Europe' (Volante) is developing a new European land management paradigm. It is setting up a platform that enables policymakers to propose solutions to land-use challenges.
By bringing together a number of researchers and experts on the topic, the project is examining socioeconomic and ecological processes that shape land-use transitions in Europe. It is also investigating tools to assess resource management in relation to land use and ecosystems, in addition to encouraging sustainable resource management overall.
So far, the project has begun investigating land-use intensity and land-use functions to produce a comprehensive study on land-use decisions in different settings. It has also started examining governance systems linked to the Habitats Directive and Common Agricultural Policy (CAP), outlining and analysing drivers of European land-use transitions in 29 countries.
In parallel, Volante is using two different modelling approaches to analyse land change scenarios in Europe and their impact on ecosystems in order to propose policy solutions. Through a series of stakeholder workshops and meetings that link these scenarios to desired land-use visions, it is developing a roadmap to support European land management and decision making.
The project is in effect deepening our understanding of land-use change in Europe, related policies and vital decision-making processes. It is devising better tools for land assessment and environmental management, in addition to outlining future visions of land-use sustainability in Europe. The outcomes of Volante, including new policy proposals and recommendations, are eventually expected to improve land use across the continent.
