Flyer call for papers and posters

Call for post-conference workshops and market place booths is open until March 1st, 2021

Registration for conference participation including signing up for masterclassess will open April 1st, 2021

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.

We call for oral presentations / posters for a total of 24 sessions that have been selected following an open call for sessions. These sessions are organised in six clusters:

• Cropping and grassland systems
• Farming systems
• Landscape management systems
• Public and private governance systems
• Food systems
• Cross scale systems

Sessions 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 3-5 presentations (decided by session organisers). Applicants must indicate which session they are applying for, though session and conference organisers may suggest to transfer the contribution to another session.

A special market place event with participation of key actors will be dedicated to presentation and discussion of research products for utilization in practice and policy, such as apps, decision support systems, knowledge systems, new co-operations and the like. (Key actors include farmers, policy representatives and business developing solutions for practice, multipliers and journalists.)

Organisation of post-conference workshops is possible (September 23rd, 2021).
