Several important trends, such as increasing populations, changing diets and a need for environmental preservation, have led toincreased competition for land and land uses, given limited land resources. Amid this competition, economic dimensions haveoften dominated over environmental and social aspects, short-term outlooks over long term, and global perspectives over local.This research theme aims to understand the drivers of land-use changes, their dynamics, their consequences, as well as howdecisions can be made regarding the role of forests and trees in the landscape, their distribution and types (species, modes ofmanagement). It also looks at how that can help achieve multiple objectives (production, nutrition, ecosystem services) within alandscape, and what tools and institutions are needed to facilitate such decisions and enable their implementation, given the variousperspectives and interests of numerous and diverse actors.
