Competence Center Cultural Landscape (CULT)

science.practice.discourse.

Today's modern age is causing great changes in cultural landscapes. The use of landscapes through intensification of land use (agriculture, forestry, settlements, energy generation etc.) leads to ever more profound changes in these high-quality cultural landscapes. Characteristics such as historical elements and diversity, which determine value are irretrievably lost.

The Competence Centre Cultural Landscape works on these current social challenges of sustainable development of the cultural landscape in a cooperative network. To this end, we organise specialist events and further training and thus promote the development of professional standards.

Conserving wild plants for food and agriculture (WEL) in genetic conservation areas - basics of a new strategy in Germany 28.11.2024, 10 a.m. - 4 p.m. at Villa Monrepos, Rüdesheimer Str. 5, Geisenheim

The conservation of wild plant species of special importance for food and agriculture (WEL) is a common concern of land users and nature conservation. By signing the International Seed Treaty and the Convention on Biological Diversity, Germany committed itself to establishing a network of protected areas for this purpose. Results of the model and demonstration project "In-situ conservation of wild plants for food and agriculture using umbrella species (IsWEL)" for the implementation of this requirement will be presented at this conference on 28.11.2024 and perspectives of genetic conservation areas will be developed as part of a possible strategy for the conservation of WEL in Germany.
