Land Management @ Scale
What, Who, How
What
What should factor into a network of multi-benefit lands?
A GIS-based prioritization tool accounting for land assets, suitabilities, needs, and pressures determines high-priority areas to target for multibenefit land use strategies. Equity and community needs (access to parks and open space, vulnerability to climate change, and local economies) are major drivers.
Who
Who could be better connected to support a coordinated network of land management?
As multi-benefit uses arise, partnerships can be forged through mutual interests.
How
How do we move beyond siloed land uses?
Three land uses—row crops, pasture, and forest—comprise a vast majority of the United States landscape. These archetypes demonstrate the application of a matrix of land management strategies ranging from physical best practices to policy and planning frameworks that can facilitate multi-benefit outcomes.
