Roots and Rhythms

根与节奏是一个合作项目，由J Rixon Ltd、英国生态和水文学中心、德比大学、Ruleo&Partners、Get Lost Studio、Heather Knight Creative和其他机构共同参与。它旨在应对紧迫的挑战，包括英国在保护自然方面排名不佳，自然连接性和可获得性较低，以及生物多样性下降。农民和土地管理者管理着英国71%的土地，在做出对生物多样性、当地社区和获取自然产生积极影响的土地利用决策方面发挥着至关重要的作用，同时保护自然资本服务的资产价值，并帮助英国履行到2050年实现净零碳排放的承诺。该项目将与牛津郡和白金汉郡交界处泰梅附近的洛佩梅德农场合作，作为一个现场案例研究。主要目标是使用以人为中心和以地球为中心的方法，为农民和土地管理者设计一个决策过程，考虑包括自然、社区和企业在内的所有利益相关者，以支持向净零、自然积极和与自然相关的土地利用的行为改变。根和节奏将为洛佩梅德农场提供适合当地的愿景、治理结构、建议和管理计划，其中包括未来将自然作为利益相关者。该项目还将为其他农民和土地管理者创建一个快速入门指南，提供选项、活动和考虑因素，以针对他们所在的地点和社区做出景观决策。该项目将通过其创新方法，优先考虑长期思考、集体想象力和自然联系体验，设计一个可扩展和适应更广泛使用的过程，使英国各地的农民和土地所有者能够在实现净零目标的同时，为自然恢复、健康和福祉做出重大贡献。

Roots and Rhythms is a collaborative project involving J Rixon Ltd, the UK Centre for Ecology and Hydrology, University of Derby, Ruleo & Partners, Get Lost Studio, Heather Knight Creative and others. It aims to address pressing challenges, including the UK's poor rankings in protecting nature, low nature connectedness and access, and declining biodiversity.Farmers and land managers, managing 71% of UK land, play a vital role in making land-use decisions that positively impact biodiversity, local communities, and access to nature, while safeguarding the asset value of natural capital services and helping the UK meet its commitment to achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2050\.The project will work with Lopemede Farm near Thame, on the Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire border, as a live case study. The main objectives are to use people-centred and planet-centred approaches to design a decision-making process for farmers and land managers that considers all stakeholders, including nature, community and business, to support behaviour change towards net-zero, nature-positive, and nature-connected land-use.Roots and Rhythms will provide Lopemede Farm with a locally-appropriate vision, governance structure, recommendations, and management plan that includes nature as a stakeholder in its future. It will also create a quick-start guide for other farmers and land managers, offering options, activities and considerations to make landscape decisions specific to their locations and communities.Through its innovative methods which will prioritise long-term thinking, collective imagination and nature connection experiences, the project will design a process that can be scaled and adapted for wider use, empowering farmers and landowners across the UK to contribute significantly to nature recovery and health and wellbeing, whilst achieving net-zero goals.
