Elements of a Landscape Approach A process or strategy to reconcile competing land use interests; Multi-stakeholder and cross-sectoral; Recognizes the multi-functionality of landscapes; Balances local needs and global development objectives; Understands trade-offs between different land management choices to identify policy options, investment and development opportunities.

Land Use Dialogues Objectives Practically test and evaluate the Landscape Approach; Create new more inclusive learning model of engagement between global private sector actors and local stakeholders in key, high risk landscapes; Realize more sustainable and inclusive forms of development.
