ABSTRACT

This book broadly assumes that enhanced connectivity of landscape will tend to increase future multifunctionality, sustainability and resilience. This final chapter considers two broad areas where human action needs to be directed for this to occur. First is the ethical and conceptual basis for the ways in which we relate to the wider landscape, and to its usage by many communities of interest. Second is the broad sphere of policy and practice, where governance and stakeholder actions need to be increasingly joined-up in order to address complex and uncertain future problems.
