SAC Rural Policy Centre

The next SAC-SEPA conference (organised in association with Forest Research, the James Hutton Institute and Scottish Natural Heritage) will take place in Edinburgh on 3rd and 4th April 2012.

Integrated management of our agricultural and forestry landscapes is essential to the delivery of multiple ecosystem services. However, current understanding of the linkages between different ecosystems and the services they provide is incomplete. The management implemented therefore needs to be flexible to adapt to these uncertainties. The need for implementation at the landscape scale also means integrating management practices across different land-managers.

This conference will seek to present not only the best possible scientific understanding of the complexities associated with the delivery of multiple ecosystem services but also provide a forum to raise and discuss what still needs to be done to have an ecosystem approach recognised and supported by land managers, researchers and policy-makers. The conference will be relevant to members of all three of these target audiences.
