Abstract

This submission was made in response to an open consultation by the UK Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs (Defra), on land use in England to support design of a future Land Use Framework (LUF) for England. It integrates insights from across the research expertise at the Grantham Research Institute on Climate Change and the Environment.
