Europe-LAND's main objective is to develop, test, and implement integrated tools to improve our understanding of the factors underlying European land-use decisions. Additionally, Europe-LAND aims to deepen the awareness and involvement of different agricultural and land-use management actors regarding climate change and biodiversity challenges. You are welcome to find out more about the project by visiting the webpage of the project: https://europe-land.eu/
