Rural Economy and Land Use Programme (RELU)

The Rural Economy and Land Use Programme (RELU) is a research initiative that focuses on understanding how land use and rural economies interact. It aims to find sustainable solutions for rural communities by studying issues like land management, farming practices, and economic development. By integrating scientific, social, and economic insights, RELU helps policymakers and stakeholders make informed decisions that promote environmental health, economic resilience, and rural well-being. Essentially, it seeks to balance land productivity with ecological sustainability while supporting vibrant and sustainable rural areas.
