In 2021, Springer published the book "Sustainable Land Management in a European Context - a Co-Design Approach". In essence, it answers the questions: How can land use be made more sustainable? And: what development processes are needed to resolve increasing conflicts and competitions? As of today, the book has received more than 150,000 hits.
"Sustainable Land Management in a European Context - a Co-Design Approach" was edited by current and former ZALF staff members Thomas Weith, Tim Barkmann, Nadin Gaasch, Sebastian Rogga, Christian Strauß and Jana Zscheischler.
On more than 350 pages, innovative approaches to land management in a European context are presented and discussed. The book emphasizes and highlights co-design processes within the framework of the "co-design approach", which reflects collaboration in transdisciplinary research processes between science and other stakeholders.
A team led by Professor Thomas Weith at the Leibniz Centre for Agricultural Landscape Research (ZALF) received the Gerd Albers Award (Special Mention) from the International Society of City and Regional Planners (ISOCARP) for this work on November 10, 2021.
For a broad readership from land system and environmental sciences, social sciences and geosciences, new insights and experiences on the sustainable use of land are offered here.
