S3 EP6: Enabling Sustainable Land Use

In this episode we will be exploring sustainable land use and how we can balance the needs of local communities, businesses, and ecosystems, to ensure that our land is used in a way that benefits everyone.

The population of the UK is projected to increase by 3.2% inside the next decade, from an estimated 67.1 million in mid-2020 to 69.2 million in mid-2030. We are growing into a finite amount of land that needs to support the future of our species and our planet – from growing our food and nurturing our biodiversity, to providing the foundation for our homes.

How do we adopt sustainable land use practices, improve the well-being of local communities, and protect the environment for future generations? The answer lies in technology and collaboration.

Dallas presents some of television’s most popular factual programmes, his immersive documentaries lift the curtain on our human planet, giving audiences of all ages and backgrounds an exclusive backstage pass to some of the world’s most fascinating stories, ideas and places.

Beyond television, Dallas is an author, speaker, and ambassador for STEM education.
