Roots and Rhythms

根与节奏是一个合作项目，涉及J Rixon有限公司，英国生态和水文中心，德比大学，Ruleo & Partners，迷路工作室，石楠骑士创意和其他人。它旨在应对紧迫的挑战，包括英国在保护自然方面的排名不佳，自然连通性和可及性低，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，在做出积极影响生物多样性，当地社区和接触自然的土地使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，帮助英国实现到2050年实现净零碳排放的承诺。该项目将与塔梅附近的Lopemede农场合作，在牛津郡和白金汉郡的边界，作为一个活生生的案例研究。其主要目标是采用以人为本和以地球为中心的方法，为农民和土地管理者设计一个考虑到所有利益攸关方，包括自然、社区和企业的决策过程，以支持朝着净零、积极自然和与自然有关的土地使用的行为转变。和管理计划，包括自然作为其未来的利益相关者。该项目还将为其他农民和土地管理者创建一个快速启动指南，提供选择、活动和考虑因素，以根据他们的地点和社区做出景观决策。通过其创新方法，将优先考虑长期思考、集体想象力和自然联系体验，该项目将设计一个可扩展和适应更广泛使用的过程，赋予英国各地的农民和土地所有者权力，为自然恢复、健康和福祉做出重大贡献，同时实现净零目标。

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.
