#LandUseTalks #ProtectingOurLand

The workshop builds on experiences and results from a wide range of land-use stakeholders and projects on the development and real-life application of Decision Support Systems (DSS) Tools that can reconcile agriculture, land use and the environment. The workshop will address the following key questions:

p How DSS tools are (and should be) designed to account for “end-users” requirements? (with specific reference to end-users mobilisation, living labs and co-building)

p Which social, economic and environmental indicators are seen as relevant to “support decision” – for whom and for which decision(s)?

p Which biophysical and socio-economic processes should be “captured” in DSS to enhance their relevance and value? Is there an interest in making services delivered by ecosystems – and their social and economic values – part of such DSS platforms?

p Which challenges and policy/management options should be accounted for in DSS developed today, so they can support future developments of the EU policy framework?

11:30 Session 2 - What do (potential) end-users of DSS/tools want (or would like to have)?

Sharing perspectives and expectations from different end-users on: ▶ Decisions - today and in the future – that need to be supported by DSS ▶ The knowledge and (social, economic and environmental) indicators (at which temporal and spatial scale – s) required to inform decisions

▶ When and how (which format, and at which part of their decision-making process) is knowledge required

Interactive session in small groups (pairs)What can be considered as “best practice” when designing and implementing activities for accounting to potential end-users needs?

ALL

Facilitation Olga Mashkina, ACTeon

How best to support best practice and future DSS developments? Building on the outcome of the work in small groups: (a) which drivers to support dissemination of “best practice”? (b) What are preconditions for success? (c) Where to put efforts – including in the context of follow-up activities of the LANDSUPPORT project? Questions and answers from the audience
