Boundary conditions for rural landscapes in Europe such as globalisation, climate change, claims to land use etc. are subject to a constant, dramatic change. Under global market conditions, the manufacture of marketable products and/or (ecosystem) services is increasingly facing pressures of competition. Moreover, requirements on high-quality, custom-tailored products are emerging all over the world. On the one hand, these requirements result in a new type of demand for production and technologies, on the other hand extensive and multidisciplinary knowledge is required to be able to meet the manifold calls for a sustainable development of rural landscapes in the future, too, to minimise new risks and assess consequences of use.
