Objectives
The main aim of the Forum is to elaborate on the synergistic role of soil conservation and vegetation restoration in meeting local, regional and global environmental and social challenges. It has a further aim of facilitating knowledge transfer and cross-fertilization of ideas through dialogue between scientists, policy makers, land users, and business interests.
The Forum’s main objectives are:
| 1 | To develop an ethic of landcare, accepted by land users and decision makers, that increases understanding, awareness and respect for soils and land resources. |
| 2 | To encourage greater experience, knowledge and innovation through dialogue between scientists, policy makers, land users and the business community. |
| 3 | To enhance understanding of global change processes, especially how soil conservation and land restoration can help counter land degradation, climate change and biodiversity loss, and restore the provision of ecosystem services. |
| 4 | To share experience and knowledge gained during a century of soil conservation and vegetation restoration in Iceland. |
