0054 - Climate Landscapes: On the effect of landscape design on climate resilience and the meso-climate

A combination of scientific presentations, corporate and political participation and best practice examples will set the frame for the conference.

Objective & focus: Our work aims to show people from the fields of science, practice, politics, media and companies the enormous potentials of ecosystemically oriented crop production and appropriately designed water management on the water balance of land used for agriculture and forestry. At the same time, the associated positive effects with regard to biodiversity, healthy soils and improved climate adaptation are to be considered. Appropriate and feasible solutions that increase the resilience of agriculture, forestry and water management will be presented and discussed.

Key questions & discussion of the meeting: What do we know about the complex interrelationships of vegetation, soils, water & climate? What land use practices support these natural relationships? How can policy support implementation?
