On 3–5 June, the Global Landscapes Forum (GLF) achieved the first environmental digital knowledge commons of its kind at the GLF Bonn Digital Conference. Looking at sustainable landscape knowledge as a shared, multiplex resource, nearly 5,000 participants joined in from 146 countries and 6 continents to discuss how to rebuild the planet’s food systems after the coronavirus pandemic. The numbers — 300 speakers, hundreds of organizations, 235,000 engagements on social, 22,000 messages plus 2,500 articles exchanged amongst participants — highlighted the need for platforms like GLF to grow and continue including the voices of diverse knowledge holders from every corner of the world.
