• GUIDANCE – build a multi-level stakeholder dialogue including EC, national, and local policy makers, land users and other stakeholders. This stakeholder engagement approach will help identify data needs and develop policy relevant scenarios that will benefit the EU and its citizens, and aims to ensure that policies and modelling tools are accepted by those affected by them.
• BUILD EVIDENCE – provide open access to land-use mapping and monitoring. High-resolution data on land-use, land use management, and policy information will be made comparable across the EU. Once online, data will be regularly updated using associated databases for European land-use, land management, agricultural- and forest-related policies combined by state-of-the-art remote-sensing and European statistical datasets
• IMPROVE UNDERSTANDING – provide guidance on land use management dynamics, drivers, and impacts, especially EU land-related policies – and close knowledge gaps in the economic and environmental impacts of associated farming/forestry practices.
• DEVELOP SCENARIO TOOLS FOR POLICY MAKING – create a modelling toolbox that can help anticipate the potential, economic and environmental impacts of different agricultural and forestry policies on land-use and land-management. This toolbox can be used by policy makers to evaluate the mid- to long-term benefits of agricultural and forestry policies across the EU, country, and regional levels.

• A geodatabase and area estimates of changes in land use
• An EU policies and payments database for agriculture, forest, and other land-use and land-management related drivers
• Open-source code and documentation of statistical, ex-post models at EU, country, NUTS-2, and regional scale
• Response functions for land-use and -management changes and maps of climate change mitigation potentials, biodiversity impacts and economic effects
• The LAMASUS Toolbox for ex-ante policy support will bring together datasets, the lessons from ex-post models, response functions. This will be done using established forward-looking modelling tools already in use for land-use policy decisions within the EU.

The project will release several policy briefs and papers, including:

• Policy brief on environmental impacts of land-use and -management changes
• Econometric ex-post land-use and -management policy impact assessment across scales
• White paper on innovative governance of policies that affect land use decisions
• An integrated view on agriculture, land use and climate policies for the land use sector
