In 2015 over 190 countries signed the Paris Climate Change Agreement to achieve net zero by 2050. A decade later these same countries are now grappling with complex challenges concerning land use policy with profound implications for agriculture. For example, how much land should be retained for food production and how much should be repurposed to achieve key goals such as improved carbon sequestration?Farming and land use change to achieve net zero: Achieving multi-functional landscapes reviews key issues in planning land use change at a national scale, highlighting the importance of involving and negotiating trade-offs with stakeholders such as farmers and landowners. The book also explores ways to implement particular land use changes such as rewetting farmland to restore peatland, reforestation and growing bioenergy crops.
