12. Sustainable development Balance between people – profit – planet services What services contribute to the core qualities? Can we give guidelines for services to support local projects? is our knowledge quantified, specified and user friendly ? Who asks for it, who wants to invest it and is this enough?  MKBA (Jeroen Veraart, Roel Jongeneel)  European Platform (Herbert Diemont)

13. Define functions for core qualities (heath reclam.) desired functions readability landscaperelation urban – green heart dust (fijn stof) (report Oosterbaan) coniferous forest wooded banks fine grained landscape green veining between urban area and sources in green heart (roads and farms) water retention (Corporaal) mixed forest old forest, complex structure water coarses form a connection between urban areas and green heart recreative quality (for expats) (Luttik, Goossen) mixed forest diversity of forest, open heathland and green veining increase recreative quality around nature areas

14. Possible other functions Biodiversity  Carla Grashof Support of agriculture (shade for cattle, pest suppression)  Willemien Geertsema and Eveliene Steingrover  Hans Baveco Climate proof landscapes  Roel Jongeneel? Health care (rural estates) Bio fuel

15. Develop guidelines for services in Groene Woud What type of elements? where (and where not)? how many, what configuration? what about trade-offs?  RITA (Wim Heijman) Service level Amount of elements

What is missing?  shared and sustainable vision on future landscape Shared Stakeholders should determine their ambitions together local: Brabants Landschap, Innovation platform regional: Brabant Stad, Provincial Government Sustainable Landscape is not only a historic scenery but a functional system of green and blue networks providing landscape services What networks and how many? Where?  zoning How financed?
