Niche orchestration in fragmented ecologies of intermediation
Agroecological transitions in the Global South often unfold within complex ecologies of intermediation, shaped by atomised project logics, donor dependence and transnational interventions. In such contexts, the coexistence of multiple intermediaries - NGOs, research bodies, farmer organisations, etc. - can hinder rather than foster niche development. This article analyses how orchestration can emerge as a governance mechanism that provides cooper…
Benefit perceptions and their influence on the willingness to join community supported agriculture (CSA)
In this study, we focus on non-members’ benefit perception of Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) and their willingness to join. We look into how information impacts the perception of CSA benefits, their relevance, and how these benefits and other factors such as trust levels, subjective knowledge, sustainable food shopping behaviour, political orientation and socio-demographics influence the willingness to join. We conducted an online between-…
Contrasting Prosumption Models
Agricultural prosumption is a transformative pathway, enabling individuals to reconnect to nature whilst producing food for their own consumption. Allotment gardens (AGs) and community-supported agriculture (CSA) are two main types of this practice, forming opposing sides on a continuous prosumption scale, ranging from prosumption-as-consumption (p-a-c), as in consumption focused CSA initiatives, to prosumption-as-production (p-a-p), as in the pr…

Sustainable farm work in agroecology
Agroecological farming is widely considered to reconcile improved working and living conditions of farmers while promoting social, economic, and ecological sustainability. However, most existing research primarily focuses on relatively narrow trade-offs between workload, economic and ecological outcomes at farm level and overlooks the critical role of contextual factors. This article conducts a critical literature review on the complex nature of …
Participatory guarantee systems in Senegal
Participatory guarantee systems (PGS) are locally-embedded guarantee systems that allegedly empower local smallholders. Although PGS are often implemented in the realm of labour-intensive agroecological farming, empirical evidence about their labour implications remains sparse. This article addresses this gap by providing data from anthropological fieldwork about a PGS in Senegal. Franziska Marfurt expresses her gratefulness to all research parti…
Public support for worktime reductions in Switzerland in the context of a transition to a post-growth society
Work time reductions (WTRs) may contribute to a transition to a post-growth society. We analysed Swiss stakeholders’ perceptions of the effects of WTRs and their support for measures to implement them. It is assumed that public support will play a significant role in putting WTRs into practice.There is some scientific evidence that work time reductions (WTRs) have beneficial ecological, social, and economic effects that could contribute to a tran…
Beyond motivations
Developing organic farming is among the most popular policy options for protecting soil, water, and biodiversity while improving incomes for agricultural producers around the World. Despite its growing success, the adoption as well as the outcomes of organic agriculture remain particularly low in sub-Saharan Africa. In this paper, we propose a multidimensional framework based on farmers' perceived motivations to evaluate the factors enabling or h…

The political ontology of protected area co-management
Political ontology reveals the processes of domination at play in the enactment of realities in a(post-) colonial context. In this article, we illustrate the implications of the power asymmetries inherent in conservation and co-management of protected areas involving Indigenous populations. We do so by exploring the case of Pilón Lajas in the Bolivian Amazon region, an area with double legal status as an Indigenous Territory and Biosphere Reserve…
Agroecology as a pathway to resilience justice
In semi-arid sub-Saharan Africa, farming populations face harsh climatic conditions but also very unequal and dynamic social processes that affect their resilience. This study addresses aspects of power and social justice related to the social-ecological system of the Niayes coastal region of Senegal and examines the potential of agroecology to improve the adaptive capacity of smallholder farmers. We performed a knowledge co-production process wi…
The Geopolitics of Protected Areas
The conservation enterprise is embedded in ideas of the environment through which it promotes a vision of the world and the relations between the non-human and human. The papers in this forum analyse conservation from various vantage points to draw the links between geopolitics and conservation. The authors use three themes to demonstrate these links. The first theme draws on the concept of environmentality to show the mobilization of ecological …

Conflicts of customary land tenure in rural Africa
This study combines legal and anthropological approaches to investigate how the establishment of a large-scale biofuel agro-industry is reinterpreting and potentially transforming customary institutional arrangements in rural Sierra Leone. The contractual relationships established between land acquirers and local authorities can be seen as an 'institutional innovation' that aims at interpreting and overcoming the limits of the national land regim…
Indigenous land reconfiguration and fragmented institutions
Carbon Sequestration in Community Forests
Carbon sequestration in community forests presents a major challenge for the Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD+) programme. This article uses a comparative analysis of the agricultural and forestry practices of indigenous peoples and settlers in the Bolivian Amazon to show how community-level institutions regulate the trade-offs between community livelihoods, forest species diversity, and carbon sequestration. The…

Changing Land Rights Means Changing Society
Agrarian reform cannot be limited to a linear process of land distribution. It involves a societal restructuration that affects power relations, multi-level governance structures, the (re)spatialization of juridical legitimacy and symbolic boundaries between sociocultural groups (ethnicity). This paper analyses the consequences of the major Bolivian agrarian reforms of 1953, 1996 and 2006 for the current process of setting up the 'plurinational' …
