Description: Das Projekt "ERA-NET RURAGRI: Ländliche Synergien und Trade-offs zwischen wirtschaftlicher Entwicklung und Dienstleistungen von Ökosystemen (TRUSTEE)" wird vom Umweltbundesamt gefördert und von IIASA - International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis durchgeführt. Population and production locations, commodities, and flow of people are critical components of the relationship between economic development and ecosystem services. Such a relationship has three major unresolved questions: - Does an optimal spatial organisation of activities, leading to rural economic development while ensuring the provision of ecosystem services, exist? - How does one combine market mechanisms and policies to reach sustainable spatial allocation of activities? - Under which conditions do ecosystem services constitute opportunities for rural development? The trade-off/synergy dilemma between economic development and ecosystem services is one of the major issues of sustainable rural development. The main research objective of TRUSTEE is to disentangle the complex relationships between economic development and ecosystem services at different spatial scales. We will use an interdisciplinary approach that will involve economists, geographers, agronomists, and ecologists. At every step of the research process, we will involve scientists, experts, and stakeholders. In doing so, this research will also strengthen the capacity of a range of stakeholders to design sustainable strategies for rural areas. The sub-objectives are: - Analyse the multi-scaled determinants of economic development and ecosystem services on a large European gradient of rural and rural/urban areas. - Increase our understanding of how to achieve mutual benefits for economic development in rural areas and ecosystem services. - Identify and assess the governance mechanisms and policy instruments that enhance sustainable rural vitality in very diverse contexts. - Produce synergies among international researchers of varied disciplines and between researchers and various stakeholders at different governance scales. The key hypotheses are: H1- The dichotomy between rural and urban areas includes a wide range of diverse situations. The relative position of an area within an urban system, its form, and the intensity of its exchanges all impact its economic development. H2- Drivers of land use change, among agricultural, developed, and preserved areas, combine urban-rural interactions with global factors (e.g., new diets, trade), which, in turn, affect ecosystem services. H3- Characteristics of available ecosystem services can influence area development, particularly in the periphery. H4- Socio-economic drivers should be used to project future trends of ecosystem services. H5- We will consider, as much as possible, phenomena at multiple spatial scales, from local to global, and we will also consider interactions between various levels. H6- Market mechanisms, public policies, and governance tools are the central drivers. Rather than choose an a priori position on the relative efficiency of sector-based, place-based, and place-tailored policies, we will contribute to the debate by observing different policy designs and providing policy recommendations.
