28th November 2023

In the face of growing pressures on limited land, we need a way of making better decisions about land use that helps us to achieve a sustainable future.

A Multifunctional Land Use Framework (MLUF) is a practical process that supports better, more sustainable decisions about land, by all those who need to make them. This briefing explains in more detail what a MLUF is, and sets out the key principles and practices for an effective MLUF.

The briefing also identifies the different stakeholders who will benefit from a Multifunctional Land Use Framework, and why, and shows how FFCC's on-the-ground pilot programmes have informed this land use decision process.
