Workshop "Challenges to multifunctional land use in pasture areas and opportunities of digital technologies and innovations"

On 19.06, STEP organized a workshop on the DIGI-Rangeland project, which aimed to bring a better understanding of the interaction between livestock grazing and other land uses (tourism, conservation, renewable energy, etc.). The meeting discussed the existing challenges and how information and digital tools can help better coordinate and jointly use pasture territories, as well as when the use of non-digital solutions is more appropriate.

The workshop was aimed at non-herding users of pasture areas, as well as various stakeholders – organizations and groups involved in land management, nature conservation, tourism, outdoor activities (running, mountaineering, climbing, cycling, etc.), wildlife management, resource management, local community development, culture and heritage, education and training related to pasture use (e.g. environmental education, practical courses, outdoor training) or land management, etc.

The DIGI-Rangeland project is funded by the EU's Horizon Europe programme, with the main objective of exploring how digital technologies and innovations can support more sustainable and better coordinated shared use of rangelands. For more information, visit the website: https://digirangeland.eu/
