Identifying drivers of land use change

This report presents some of the findings of the MOSAIC project’s Work Package 3, aimed at identifying the perceived drivers, land-use optimization considerations and values behind land use decision-making across Europe. Utilizing a transdisciplinary approach through six ‘Policy Labs’, the research employs mixed methods - including interviews, photovoice and surveys to analyse the gap between high-level sustainability targets and local implementation.

The study highlights a significant diversity of land use challenges across MOSAIC's six distinct Policy Labs.
