5. Goal: To catalyze a shift towards integrated
agriculture & rural land use strategies
• Sustainable, climate-resilient, diverse food production to meet rural,
urban and export demand and food security needs for 9+ billion
• Sustainable biomass fuel, forest, fisheries production
• Conservation and restoration of wild biodiversity
• Protection of critical watershed functions
• Terrestrial climate mitigation
Outcomes:
• Compelling case for a new paradigm for farming & rural landscapes
• Leaders and innovators mobilized
• Action agendas developed and implemented
6. Initiative Theory of Change
Leaders at the landscape, national and international
levels…
are supported by new resources, motivated by new
evidence, and empowered by new partnerships
and coalitions…
to develop and advocate for effective
landscape programs, policies and
investments in their home landscapes,
countries or institutions.
7. Principles and Approach
● Build from existing analyses
● Phased approach to action
● Learn from innovators
● Strategically assess need for farm
& landscape innovation
● Don’t seek consensus, rather:
● Commitment to pursue integrated
goals
● Energy & political space to innovate
● New partnerships across many sectors

9. Niche and Value-added of LPFN
To complement the many landscape initiatives underway
● Provide a non-ideological, non-confrontational platform to
bring diverse groups together
● Promote learning among diverse communities of practice
● Document experience across communities of practice
● Foster dialogue and action among diverse types of
institutions
● Generate and synthesize knowledge from a broad base of
evidence and experience
● Pool resources to strengthen policy advocacy and outreach
● Provide communication link between high-level policy
initiatives and landscape actors
11. Scaling-up
● Innovation without scaling up is of
limited value
● Drivers for scaling-up:
• Ideas/model (LPFN)
• Vision (LPFN champions and leaders)
• External catalysts (crises, donors)
• Incentives (people, food and nature)
● “Small is beautiful, but big is
necessary”
12. Objectives
1) Articulate priority policy, investment, and research
actions
2) Develop collaborative action plans in selected
landscapes and countries
3) Define target audiences, with key messages and
specific advocacy tactics
4) Promote partner engagements and establish
modalities for partner collaboration
13. Principles of Engagement
Broad change achieved with a networked
constituency of many sectors, on many levels,
working together for change on many fronts
Use of existing networks

and lessons learned among landscape networks and
initiatives

integrated landscape
investments is articulated for
an widely disseminated to
finance stakeholders

integrated landscape approach
5a. The integrated
landscape approach is
endorsed in major
international policies
(ag, food security,
ecosystem
management, climate
change, rural & urban
development)
21. 6) Science and knowledge systems support
integrated landscape initiatives
6a. Researchers have a shared understanding of what
types of analysis are needed to advance the science
of integrated landscapes
6b. Knowledge systems are being developed that
support decision-making in integrated
6c. Int’l research better meets the needs of integrated
landscape initiatives
6d. International funding for research on integrated
landscapes is increased
22. 7) Key stakeholders are aware of the
potential benefits of integrated landscapes
7a. Information about integrated landscape
approaches is widely available to practitioners and
policymakers
7b. The media have raised the profile of integrated
landscape approaches with the general public

-review how A&A component fits into the LPFN Initiative
1. Articulate priority policy, investment, and research actions that the Initiative will address to accelerate the adoption and effective implementation of integrated landscape approaches to jointly achieve agricultural development, ecosystem management, and rural development objectives.2. Develop collaborative action plans in selected landscapes and countries.3. Define target audiencesfor advocacy, key messages for those audiences, and specific advocacy tactics for each audience to hear and respond to the messages.4. Promote a common understanding of principles for partner engagement and establish the modalities for partner collaboration in Iniative activities.
Broad change can be achieved only by building a networked constituency among and within gov’ts, inter-gov’t agencies, private sector, NGOs, researchers, and local stakeholders to create a mandate for change on policy, political, and technical fronts.Initiative will strive to collaborate with and add value to existing networks, rather than create a new network.Initiative will not seek to force consensus among partners or champion a single integrated landscape model or methodology, but rather encourage sharing of experience, learning, and debate among the diverse communities of practice engaged in integrated landscape management.Initiative will seek to mobilize strategic actions at scale.Initiative will utilize an evidence-based approach to guide its action and advocacy strategy and tactics.
