1 A Knowledge-Based European Perspective on Sustainable Land …
11
Part three closes with a chapter on Upcoming challenges in land use science—
an international perspective by Fürst. This chapter complements and extends the
discussion on important concepts such as multifunctionality and social-ecological
frameworks applied in land use science. The author also reflects on current political
debates and challenges in terms of methodological aspects, actor involvement and
project designs—in the context of sustainable land management. Future research
topics related to the UN Sustainable Development Goals are raised, along with
proposals for advancing land use science. As a future perspective, Fürst discusses
how the co-development of knowledge and the co-design of land use system research
could be conceived.
An Outlook is given in the final chapter of the book, entitled Conclusions and
research perspectives. Here, the editors reflect on the different aspects of knowledge
based on sustainable land management. They develop an integrative view on the
topic and point out options for improving in particular the science-policy interface
in the European context.
Acknowledgements This book would not have possible without the dedicated work of many
committed supporters. First of all, we thank the German Funding Agency BMBF Ministry of
Education and Research and the project management agency PTJ for their financial and administrative support in the context of the Scientific Accompanying Research Project “Sustainable Land
Management (module B)” (FKZ 033L004). We are also very grateful to all of the contributing
authors. Special thanks go to Petra Koeppe and Alice Baumgärtner as well as to Teresa Gehrs
(Lingua Connect) and agrathaer for helping us finalise the book. Last but not least, we thank the
Springer team for their support and patience.
