The landscape approach seeks to resolve the central dilemma confronting humanity today: How do we cope with environmental degradation and climate change, while simultaneously expanding agricultural production to satisfy human needs. The landscapes approach looks beyond agriculture, integrating it with forestry and other land uses to forge a comprehensive agenda for
sustainable development to eradicate poverty, strengthen food and nutrition security, and promote green growth that makes cities more energy efficient and rural land use more productive and sustainable.
