Summary

The past years have seen the rise of ideas on how to achieve a transition towards sustainability. Without doubt, landscape stewardship provides a most vibrant approach to this sustainability-guided redefinition of human-nature relationships, which includes a shift in all aspects of human life, ranging from deeply rooted cultural beliefs to very concrete practices of everyday life. Building on the contributions to this volume, this concluding chapter offers a synthesis of potentials, success factors and challenges of landscape stewardship for the sustainability agenda. For this, it provides analytical and comparative perspectives on the approach’s scientific underpinning and practical implementation. The chapter substantiates insights on guiding principles of landscape stewardship and how they work in different contexts, such as agriculture, cultural heritage preservation, ecological restoration, tourism, or marine environments. Finally, ideas are offered on how science, practice, and policy may leverage landscape stewardship and thus foster a transition to sustainability.
