No farm is an island: making agriculture work for landscapes and vice-versa

No farm is an island. A farm does not exist independently from the surrounding landscape. The way we treat natural resources in one location has repercussions for a much wider area. To create more sustainable food production systems, we need to look beyond their own sphere of influence and responsibility to the interconnected challenges in a landscape. To do so, many are using innovative approaches like LandScale, a new tool that helps organizations and businesses track progress towards sustainability at the landscape level. In this session, forward-thinkers from different sectors in the Americas will share learnings from working at the landscape-level to address emerging risks to agriculture that need to be addressed collectively. Leveraging the audience, this session will encourage inspiring and constructive discussion on how farm and landscape-scale linkages can create meaningful progress, based on the 4 pillars of LandScale: ecosystems, human well-being, governance and production.
