Organisers have set a deadline of March 15, 2021, for papers and posters for Landscape 2021 - Diversity for Sustainable and Resilient Agriculture, an online conference being held from September 20 to 22 this year. Registration for participation in the conference, including the possibility of signing up for a series of masterclasses, opens on May 1 this year.
The organisers note: “Landscape 2021 will bring together scientists from across disciplines with key actors to explore whether and how diversity and diversification can contribute to a more sustainable and resilient agriculture. Promising approaches reduce trade-offs between high productivity and use of external resources, the provisioning of ecosystem services, biodiversity and soil health as well as robust economic perspectives, social justice, cultural values and recreational opportunities.
“We hypothesise that while diversification provides sustainable solutions at different scales, it is the landscape or territoriales scale where synergies and trade-offs between social and environmental objectives become tangible. Conference contributions will include research from natural and social sciences, inter- and transdisciplinary approaches on topics related to the diversification of crop and livestock production systems across scales.”
Following an open call for sessions, organisers are seeking oral presentations and posters for a total of 26 sessions organised in six clusters:
These sessions will “highlight the state of the art in agricultural landscape research and promote critical exchange on pathways to more resilient and sustainable agriculture”. Each session will last 90 minutes and include three to five presentations.
A total of 11 masterclasses are being organised, each lasting three hours and hosting up to 40 participants (prior registration required). The organisers note: “Masterclasses are interactive sessions to show, learn and discuss new tools, methods or emerging topics in hands-on intensity. They attract senior and junior researchers alike and are an excellent way to spread and test scientific ideas and to reinforce scientific networking.”
