key research area at LUCSUS Agriculture provides most of the food we eat and the fibers we wear while at the same time contributing up to 25% of global greenhouse gas emissions and consuming around 70% of global freshwater withdrawals. Navigating this tension between the societal necessity of agriculture and its environmental impacts is therefore at the heart of sustainable development. Within the
LUCSUS, together with the Centre for Environmental and Climate Research, and the International Institute for Industrial Environmental Economics, is a partner in the European project Naturvation, which stands for nature-based urban innovation. The project has three main objectives: advance assessment approaches, enable innovations, and realise the potential of nature-based solutions. We ask LUCSUS
