Por qué asistir

Discover how to assess land health and the ecosystem services it provides using functional biodiversity indicators, including above-ground and below-ground biodiversity as well as landscape elements. This session offers a combination of theoretical insights and hands-on exercises, guiding participants to design monitoring strategies that improve decision-making for sustainable land management.

Descripción de la sesión

This session introduces participants to the Land Health Monitoring Framework (LHMF), which uses functional biodiversity indicators—above-ground biodiversity, below-ground biodiversity, and landscape elements—to assess the state of land health. Participants will learn how this framework supports sustainable agriculture by providing practical tools for monitoring biodiversity and ecosystem services at multiple scales.

The session will feature interactive group exercises, where participants will work in groups representing different monitoring scales: Soil/Field, Farm, Landscape, or National/Regional. Using real-world case studies, participants will identify key indicators and design monitoring strategies for their assigned scale. This format allows for collaborative learning and cross-scale thinking, equipping participants with practical skills they can apply in their projects and contexts.
