This document is part of a series of actor-, context- and gender-specific guidance resources which have been developed from the research findings in the project. It is aimed at supporting actors in different contexts to be equipped with the knowledge to work with social norms to reduce food loss and waste generated by related target groups. Cities and urban planning have been found to be an important lever of change and as a result in this document we focus on the part of the findings from the CHORIZO project’s research activities that can be used here. We have combined our findings with wider knowledge and the Academy of Change approach1 to produce this guidance aimed at actors in European cities and municipalities.

This case study is drafting new legislation that allows renting forestland for multiple purposes in order to increase economic efficiency and maintain a balance between all ecosystem services. This Russian case works on regulation mechanisms so that people renting forestland can use it for multiple purposes, and to include ecosystem services in the Forest Code.
This factsheet explores how managing forests to be used as spiritual forests and forest kindergartens could benefit both the forest and the forest owner. The core impact of the case study is to raise awareness of the importance of cultural ecosystem services and to motivate forest actors to manage forests appropriately.
This innovation case is strengthening the link between forests and water with the overall aim of diversifying financing sources for forest management by integrating ecosystem service provision into the economic balance sheet. Work includes integration in the Urban Masterplan for the Rialb Reservoir where different local stakeholders (economic, tourism, water and others) are already working together. The aim is for written recognition in a legal document of the role of forestry in water and landscape conservation, and the recognition of forestry as a potentially relevant economic activity in the area that can be promoted along with tourism. The innovation action also works with the public Segre-Rialb Consortium to assess the suitability of a payment for ecosystem services scheme in relation to water in the area.
