Thanks Marianne for this thought-provoking summary of the GLF day in London! I think that properly enhancing landscape sustainability requires identifying co-benefits for all stakeholders - in this case land owners, private investors, governments and smallholders whose land tenure is often weak or inexistant. Any stakeholder willing to "take the lead" on this will not only need to have convening power but also hold a capacity to identify and measure such co-benefits. Rightly what CGIAR is trying to achieve with the 4pour1000 initiative which not only seeks to mitigate climate change, but also to make farming systems more resilient to climate change and more food secure - genuine co-benefits expected from soil carbon sequestration in agriculture and forests.
