A lively debate in the main hall @orfc around #landuseframework #ELMS #horticulture and #thefutureoffood . Magnificently chaired by Rosie Boycott
Excited to be at the ZSL Science & British Ecological Society #LandUseSummit today. A timely discussion on how we best make strategic decisions on land use to ensure we can deliver our environmental, economic and social targets via a robust #LandUseFramework
What's the challenge to meet our energy needs and supporting nature, food and infrastructure goals?
Jan Webb says it's the coordination - of policies, of knowledge, of skills.
(A #LandUseFramework can break down silos to support coordination)

Good to see Steve Reed discuss a #LandUseFramework with Rachael Brown.
As Steve says, it’s not for politicians to dictate land use from the top-down. Instead, the framework must enable farmers & communities to make best use of land.

UK Centre for Ecology & Hydrology 'All models are wrong, but some models are useful' Tom Finch continues the modelling discussion:
🌿 We need a #LandUseFramework
🌿 Different places will need to do different things...
🌿 ... Land use policy is devolved - different policies, contexts, needs
Interesting piece from Steve Reed on why we need a #LandUseFramework .
Taking a multifunctional approach can balance nature & climate goals with farming, housing, transport & more – while also involving communities & land managers in decision-making.

Demands on our land, from healthy food production to clean energy, are mounting.
A Multifunctional #LandUseFramework can balance national goals with local needs – while also making land work for multiple outcomes at the same time.

It was very good to meet with recently appointed CPRE The countryside charity Chief Executive Roger Mortlock today
We had LOTS to discuss on #greenbelt #solarenergy #agriculture & the #DEFRA forthcoming #landuseframework
I look forward to keeping the conversation going!
Pretty weak response to Chris Skidmore & Climate Change Committee rec that there a broad #LandUseFramework is needed to make best use of land to meet net zero, in today's #energysecurityday
How we use land has consequences--on climate change, biodiversity, our health, & our economy.
Georgie Barber (@FFC_Commission) lays out the case for #landuseframework & what makes a framework effective at local & national levels of government.

The govt's Land Use Framework has been delayed yet again, with publication now due 'before the summer recess'.
It's also 'not intended to be prescriptive' & is 'essentially guidance'.
My next book will set out what a proper Land Use Framework should do.
