1 Sustainable Land Use: Decrease the Environmental Footprint Increase the Economic and Social Output September, Lake Balaton - Valencia Turn your research into practice with our two-week PhD summer school on Sustainable Land Use. The combination of four different problems of rural areas will serve as base challenges: water management, forestry, sustainable agriculture and the decline and ageing of the population. These will be introduced with both Hungarian and Spanish examples - showing the different realizations of the same problematic topic throughout Europe. Come and join our programme to pinpoint local and global solutions, to learn and apply different tools for system innovation, to engage with stakeholders, meet with experts and work in a multidisciplinary environment. #ClimateCatapult catapult.climate-kic.org
2 The Challenges: Water How to use it sustainably? Lake Balaton and L Albufera Lagoon are main assets of our examples: Örvényes and Valencia. How can they be used more effectively other than a swimming pool; what can the water give to the local community, and what can the local community do to preserve them? The Forest - Bunch of trees or habitat? What is the role of forestry in the environment? How can we protect these functions and still have gains out of it? Through the examples of the Örvenyes primary oak forest from the early 18th century and the forest of the small Spanish town Serra we are looking for solutions to make forests sustainable and climate-friendly investments. The Field Dig deeper! Which direction is local agriculture headed? How can we improve the fields and the life of the people working on them? A large area of grassland and weed that gives the heat and drought adaptive local fauna and flora in Örvényes; its south facing hills with grapes that have been cultivated for more than 500 years and the Simbiotic multidisciplinary project about sustainable agriculture at Llíria, Spain will give you the opportunity to ideate about a better land use and an improved sustainable use of natural resources. The Society - Integration The peri-urban territory of Valencia ( huerta ) is an agricultural land with high productivity. Its complementary challenges are to raise awareness on agriculture use, to avoid its abandonment and to analyse the functionality of this peri-urban agricultural area. Örvényes has 138 mainly elderly residents, but during the summer months the population can reach over What problems do inhabitants of the huerta and Örvényes face? What are their needs? How can we answer these needs through sustainable land use?
