Land use

A key issue for IINAS is research on sustainable land use as an integrated perspective on resource-efficient production and use of

  • biomass for food and feed, but also for energy and materials
  • ecosystem services (agro- and forest biodiversity, carbon sequestration, habitats, etc.)
  • raw materials (energy, minerals, ores, water etc.)

.

Objectives

Sustainable global land use

  • Which sustainability requirements are needed for the global land use?
  • Is a global "standard" meaningful - and if yes: how can it be developed and implemented - and with whom?
  • IINAS led the multi-year research project GLOBALANDS on that issue, and continues being active on these questions in IEA Bioenergy.
