Overview
The Landscape Governance course from Wageningen University and Research focuses on institutional development at landscape level including multi-stakeholder platforms and networks, and financial support mechanisms to guide landscape dynamics on the ground.
Course programme in more detail
Forested landscapes worldwide are increasingly integrated in global processes of trade, market development, resource exploitation and climate change.
This is why landscapes are increasingly considered to be appropriate levels to negotiate land use options. Within forested landscapes food production,commodity agriculture, biodiversity, resource extraction and other land uses are competing for space. Negotiation and conflict mediation between stakeholders and their interests are therefore increasingly needed and a new breed of professionals is high in demand.
