The project aims to develop knowledge and methods for the comprehensive planning for the future European land use. The project will combine, and test, a comprehensive set of analytical tools regarding rural land use, that operate at different spatial and temporal scales, to see if these models can be integrated, and at the same time remain accurate in their previsions. An important task for the project is to operationlize the concept of “Multifunctional Land Use”, which shortly means landscape not only producing agricultural and forestry products but also producing a series of products (e.g. energy, clean water) and services (recreation, aesthetic experiences, biodiversity). SENSOR is an aid to decision making, with a particular focus on the impact of EU policy upon multifunctional land use.
The project is coordinated by ZALF (Berlin) and Lund University is responsible for the integration of knowledge between different stakeholders (science, politics and industry etc.) In Lund the project will involve researcher at LUCSUS and Department of Chemical Engineering.
