Evaluative governance for climate action in Australia
Education in the Forest to Support Learning about Socio-Ecological Risk
New challenges and opportunities are emerging to support young people to learn about socio-ecological risk. While experiences with risk are a daily occurrence, a new phase of history defined by global environmental change will transform lives in complex ways. All young people need to be provided with the knowledge and skills to critique the failings of modernity and learn to manage risk. For that reason, environmental pedagogies need to be balanc…
Regenerative Supermarkets for a New Era of Socio-Ecological Risk
Supermarkets increasingly dominate food systems. They are the primary influence on food supply chains that are failing to enable sustainable outcomes or deliver affordable food during acute or prolonged crises. In Australia, the dominant food retail model neither fully accounts for risk, thereby contributing to rising food insecurity, nor ensures socially or ecologically sustainable farming systems. The limitations of food systems dominated by mo…
Is rewilding too wild? Assessing the benefits and challenges of forest succession on abandoned land in the mid‐hills of Nepal
The rewilding of landscapes through the promotion of natural ecological processes is a contemporary approach to nature restoration and conservation. In Nepal and elsewhere globally, forest is also regenerating naturally on abandoned agricultural land, effectively rewilding the landscape by default. We investigate factors that lead to reforestation and examine tensions and trade‐offs in rural areas traditionally dependent on agriculture for subsis…
Multifunctional agriculture
Peri-urban multifunctional agriculture (MFA) is examined in contrasting policy contexts. • MFA in China has been developed under the guidance of strong policy implementation. • In Australia a neo-liberal regime emphasizes decisions by individual farmers. • Clustering techniques highlight a multifunctional transition in two study areas. • Farm-based tourism and pro-environmental actions are integral to this transition
Climate change loss and damage from droughts
Climate change loss and damage (L&D) due to both sudden and slow-onset events are a growing concern for vulnerable countries. Over the last decade, agricultural communities in Fiji have suffered a range of serious L&D from severe drought events. Through a grounded theoretical lens, qualitative research was used to gain in-depth insights into L&D from droughts in the Fijian sugar industry. In-depth semi-structured interviews (n = 68) were conducte…
Intermediate levels of socio-ecological disturbance drive higher biodiversity in naturally regenerating forests
Exploring sustainable development within rural regions in Ghana
Sustainable development involves multi‐level, multi‐actor and multi‐faceted processes and interrelations for which, ideally, comprehensive theoretical frameworks are required to understand the nature, dynamics and heterogeneity of changes generating greater sustainability in rural areas. Studies have utilised the rural web framework to explain these processes and interactions, but its application is lacking in sub‐Saharan Africa. This study addre…
Forest livelihood values and management opportunities to support the agrarian transition in Nepal
There are significant changes in rural livelihoods as Nepali society passes through an agrarian transition. Understanding those changes is fundamental to guiding approaches to support communities to generate sustainable development pathways and to adapt to risk. The socio-ecological research examines how community forests are used by different household groups across the mid-hills of central Nepal. Results from a quantitative survey of community …
Regenerative tourism in Australian wine regions
The tourism industry is complex and deeply embedded into the social, environmental, and cultural fabric of social-ecological systems. Tourism presents an additional rural development pathway for regions to diversify their economies and strengthen resilience at both micro (individual/business) and macro (community/regional) scales. In an Australian context, expansion of the tourism industry is an important strategy for rural development, particula…
The governance of hydrosocial risk in peri-urban South Australia
Climate change is generating levels of environmental risk that are jeopardising modern development. As the management of water systems becomes more difficult, approaches to governance and engagement within regions are increasingly shaping adaptation successes and failures. We use theory on hydrosocial systems and risk to critically analyse stakeholder experiences of a transition in South Australian water management in peri-urban Adelaide, with de…
Post-crisis risk management
Farmers in the Langhorne Creek–Angas Bremer basin irrigation district of South Australia have faced a series of hydrosocial crises relating to drought and groundwater depletion and degradation. The crises have been negotiated through concerted community engagement and cooperation. Adaptation responses have included a combination of infrastructural development and changes to the licensing, regulation, and oversight of irrigation governance, easing…
Contributions of urban periodic markets to sustainable rural development in Ghana
There is a limited theoretical understanding of the importance of urban periodic markets (UPMs) for sustainable rural development in sub-Saharan Africa. This paper explores the value of UPMs to sustainable rural development by employing the rural web technique. The specific objectives are to (1) describe the characteristics of UPMs in Ghana, and (2) assess the effects of UPMs on the six indicators of sustainable rural development proposed by the …
Climate change loss and damage governance. Where are we now? A case study from Fiji’s sugar industry
Anthropogenic climate change loss and damage (L&D) is a key area of climate policy. Much of the L&D governance has been situated within the international climate regime. A major gap in L&D governance is the lack of understanding of how institutions are dealing with L&D policy and decision-making at national and industry scales. This study examines L&D governance with an emphasis on policy gaps, capacity constraints, availability of data, and acce…
The Succession of Farmers’ Perceptions of Transitioning Landscapes – A Case Study of Agroforestry in the Middle Hills of Nepal
Out-migration from small-scale agricultural holdings in Nepal’s middle hills is resulting in forest succession on abandoned land. Such early landscape transitions are often guided by policy to maintain a productivist path. However, farming households in rural Nepal are themselves transitioning from their dependence and attachment to the land. The walk and talk methodology was selected to follow up socioecological surveys with farmers in the middl…
Analysing agricultural policy outcomes in the uplands of Indonesia
A wide range of holistic frameworks are used to assess the sustainability of agricultural policies and programs, but much of the existing research tends to overlook the socio‐cultural and governance dimensions of sustainability. This article aims to address those gaps by comprehensively assessing the environmental, economic, social, and political dimensions of sustainability. We use a case study of irrigation policies for agricultural expansion t…
Multifunctional agriculture in a peri-urban fringe
Recent Five-Year Plans and No. 1 Central Documents have emphasised the need for Chinese agriculture to play multiple functions to enhance rural development, alleviate rural poverty and increase agricultural productivity. The concept of Chinese agriculture as multifunctional is explored, linking it to specific policy aims, with three key historical phases of the development of multifunctional agriculture (MFA) recognised. MFA has progressed rapidl…
Half a flood’s no good”
Floods generate both risks and benefits. In Langhorne Creek, South Australia, a historically-embedded system of shared floodwater management exists among farmers, who rely on semi-regular flood inundations as part of the region’s hydrosocial terroir – a dynamic conjunction of water, landscape, social relations and agricultural practice. Unruly floods coexist with a heavily regulated and precisely measured system of modern water management for vit…

Hobby and part-time farmers in a multifunctional landscape
Hobby and part-time farming have become important elements of agricultural development in peri-urban areas of developed countries. Although there has been renewed interest recently in examining the characteristics of this farming, studies have rarely attempted to consider its role in transitional multifunctional landscapes. This article reports on research in the Adelaide Hills, South Australia, using surveys and semi-structured interviews to exa…
The 'drive and talk' as ethnographic method
Anthropologists have long embraced the value of the 'walk and talk' ethnographic method, which is an interactive means of generating research insights in situ - on site. In this article, we propose that there is room for an expanded appreciation of the 'drive and talk' method. While driving and talking with their interlocutors, researchers can elicit information prompted by features in the landscape and the environment that might be otherwise for…

Adaptive mechanisms in a continuing landscape
Purpose This paper investigates the adaptive capacity expressed by an agricultural region in response to changing conditions as a mean to address the future of cultural landscapes in a time of extreme uncertainty. Through the conceptual framework of biocultural diversity, the work assesses regimes shifts and persistence as a dialectic between natural and anthropogenic components of the landscape. Design/methodology/approach Specifically, the mech…

Climate Change, Bushfire Risk, and Environmental Values
Striking a balance between the management of environmental risks and values is a challenge for decision-makers. If people perceive that environmental risks are increasing they may be willing to discount local values to manage those risks, so the identification of thresholds in risk perception in relation to specific behaviors could help to avoid policy failures. The complex relationships between perceptions of climate change and bushfire risks, e…

Education for all in a global era? The social justice of Australian secondary school education in a risk society
The article examines the importance of effective secondary education for all children as Australian society embraces globalization. In a global era, where societal development will rely on the knowledge and skills of the workforce, an effective education will become even more important for socio-economic engagement and equality. Students from disadvantaged backgrounds are the most vulnerable to globalization as they are less likely to achieve aca…

Challenges to the co-management of biodiversity in a reflexive modernity
The marginalisation of people from natural areas has dominated conservation approaches in post-colonial societies such as Australia. Yet the approach is limited, in part because people are also excluded from co-managing their local environments, an effect that raises important questions about the future of conservation in a reflexive era where account must also be taken of how to manage risks such as bushfires. To address the complexity of social…

A Philosophy of Diversity for Sustainable Agricultural Development
Agricultural modernisation has provided food, fibre, wealth and opportunity for many people. However, it is only a relatively recent experiment in resource use in human ecological history. It is an experiment that requires an enormous supporting infrastructure of research and development, and ongoing expensive inputs. Even then, modern agricultural systems are subject to biodiversity loss, soil degradation and substantial productivity risks. More…

Limits to adaptation or a second modernity? Responses to climate change risk in the context of failing socio-ecosystems
A Brief Political History of South Australian Agriculture
This paper aims to explain why South Australian agricultural land use is focused on continually increasing productivity, when the majority of produce is exported, at the long-term expense of agriculturally-based communities and the environment. A historical analysis of literature relevant to the agricultural development of South Australia is used chronologically to report aspects of the industry that continue to cause concerns in the present day.…
Navigating the Roles of the Social Learning Researcher
Climate change adaptation is now a core theme of Australian geographical research. Climatic risks to socio-ecosystems are unbounded and highly uncertain and as a result require learning-based approaches to generate appropriate adaptation responses. Geographical research can effectively integrate knowledge developed through the mutual learning of researchers and stakeholders within a place to help guide adaptation planning. The roles of the geogra…
Monitoring to Learn, Learning to Monitor
Indigenous community-based monitoring has been a central feature in many international attempts to improve monitoring of and local adaptation to environmental change. Despite offering much promise, Indigenous community-based monitoring has been underutilised in natural resource management in Australia, particularly within the remote, semi-arid rangelands. This paper discusses contextual social and environmental factors that may help to explain th…
