Abstract

The future composition of Australia’s rural landscapes are uncertain and may be subject to substantial change following changes in climate, market prices, technology and social attitudes. Exploring alternative landscape futures can be useful for informing strategic policy decisions in regional natural resource management settings Most studies of landscape futures involve a combination of participatory stakeholder involvement and quantitative modelling in identifying landscape futures. In this paper we present multi objective programming as a landscape futures generation engine. A case study
