Welcome all! We have organized this webinar to bring together researchers and practitioners in the fields of value chain, rural development and nature conservation with particular focus on tropical landscapes and to discuss with them the importance of enhancing the resilience of landscapes in order to ensure sustainable trade and development. This is also the topic of the special issue on “resilient landscapes for sustainable trade and development” of the “land” journal. We are grateful to the managing editors of this journal for their support in organizing this webinar. We have invited speakers to share what we know already about applying landscape approaches for sustainable trade and development, how this is being practiced in different tropical countries, and what they perceive to be the major challenges and knowledge gaps to improve and scale implementation of such approaches. We will invite participants to contribute their perspectives from research and practice. After a brief answer and question session (please provide your questions through the Q&A button on your device) we will summarize the main knowledge gaps and invite researchers in the audience and beyond to submit research manuscripts to this special issue, that contribute to filling those gaps.
