2. Systematic Maps
• Methodical overview of
quantity & quality of
evidence
• Follows methodology of
systematic review process
Objective Formulation
Stakeholder meetings, topic setting
Method Development
Search strategy, inclusion criteria, protocol draft
Searching Process
Establish literature database, screen for relevance,
remove duplicates
Screening Process
Filter literature by screening at title and abstract
level
Retrieve Full Texts
Final filter, study quality assessment
Report Production
Dissemination
Publish map, make searchable database available,
other outputs.

3. Landscape Approaches

4. The terminology problem
• Ecoagriculture (LPFN) identified 78 (!!)
different terms all alluding to integrated
landscape management
• There remains no single agreed definition
within the scientific community for landscape
approaches
• BUT one size does not fit all

5. Landscapes
Multi-functional landscapes
Integrated landscape management
Climate smart agriculture
Landcare
Ecosystem Approach
Integrated Conservation and Development platform
Community-Based Adaption
Integrated landscapes approaches
Landscape-scale ecosystem-based adaptation
Integrated natural resource management
Conservation agriculture
Green Growth
Landscapes Approach
Green Agricultural Economy
Green Infrastructure
Landscape Mosaics
Sustainable Intensification
(just some of the) Current Terminology!

6. Objectives of the systematic map
Our (current) primary research questions:
What is the landscape approach, and how has it evolved
into current discourse and practice?
How, and where, is it actually being implemented?
3 Key objectives:
• Map the development of landscape approach theory
• Review and synthesize current terminology
• Review integrated landscape research by documenting current (and prior) examples of
landscape scale initiatives in the tropics

7. Anticipated Outcomes
• Support existing platforms working on ILAs
• Clarification of ILAs
• Help guide decision making processes
• Accessible database of ILAs
• Interactive map of ILAs freely available online

8. Challenges & areas for discussion
1. Thoughts on framing the research question/s
2. Suggestions for search terms
3. Key actors, who, what and where?
