LINK – a platform for applied research cooperation focused on land and land related issues.
Population growth, climate change, increasing urbanization and competing land uses mean that scarce land resources worldwide are under greater pressure than ever before, especially in developing countries where land governance systems are weak. LINK aims to challenge these and promote action based multidisciplinary research to deepen understanding, generate holistic thinking, capture best-practice, and propose innovative solutions that support the SDGs and lead to improved governance, greater food security and economic growth.
