Designing resilient landscapes
for a sustainable future
The current situation of rural abandonment, together with the accelerating impacts of climate change, makes it clear that we need a new paradigm for managing and adapting agroforestry landscapes. The landscapes we know today are the result of multiple socioeconomic, historical, and climatic factors, but they have often not been designed or managed with resilience criteria, nor to reduce the risk of extreme wildfires or adapt to current climate realities.
At the Forestry Hub, we promote an approach to land‑use planning and management grounded in robust science and landscape modelling. We work to design multifunctional, resilient, and long‑term viable landscapes, integrating environmental, social, and economic factors.
A participatory
and inclusive process
We believe that effective planning is only possible through a participatory process that brings together all relevant actors: public and private landowners, businesses, entrepreneurs, administrations, and citizens, following the principles of the quadruple helix. This collaborative work allows us to define strategies that ensure sustainability through a shared vision tailored to each territory.
In this context, the involvement of industry and businesses is essential for strengthening landscape sustainability and fostering a circular bioeconomy based on innovation, product diversification, and the creation of new value chains that bring real benefits to local stakeholders.
The Forestry Hub:
innovation and implementation in the territory
With this vision, we have created the Forestry Hub: a new line of activity that enables us to participate directly in the large‑scale implementation of the innovations we promote.
Our goal is to generate real impact and territorial transformation through scientific knowledge, modelling tools, and technical support for more efficient and climate‑adapted land management.
From planning
to the field
Beyond scientific and technical support for planning, our team works closely with professionals trained in silviculture and forest management. These are the people who translate planning guidelines into practice, for example, through tree marking and specific operations that bring the designed project to life.
In this way, we establish a direct link between science, management, and practical implementation, ensuring that decisions made on paper become real and effective actions on the landscape.
