Intervening in complex food systems
Purpose: Agricultural Innovation Platforms (AIPs) are increasingly applied by advisory services as approaches to facilitate learning and co-create food system solutions. However, the outcomes of such processes are rarely documented. In this study, we present an approach for capturing process outcomes and share findings from applying the approach to an AIP in central Mozambique.Design/methodology/approach: We complemented propensity score matching…
Badiou and the Reconstruction of the Concept of God
In this article I first summarize Badiou’s and Žižek’s critique of the concept of God, which I and other interpreters conceive as a radicalization of the theology of the death of God. I then pose the question of how to formulate a positive conception of God after the death of God that would overcome the limits of negative or apophatic theology. I propose to reconstruct the concept of God through Badiou’s understanding of the absolute from his boo…
Scenarios of sustainable fodder production in the conflict-affected Kerio Valley of Kenya
Ipcc, 2023
The Summary for Policymakers (SPM) of the Synthesis Report (SYR) of the Sixth Assessment Report (AR6) of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), is a component of the SYR which provides a policy-relevant but policy-neutral summary of the SYR. It is consistent with the Sections of the SYR and is approved line by line by the Governments at a plenary session of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.
Ipcc, 2023
The Synthesis Report (SYR) is a stand-alone synthesis of the most policy-relevant evidence from the scientific, technical, and socio-economic literature assessed in the Sixth Assessment Report (AR6) of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). The SYR distils and integrates the main findings of the three reports of the Working Groups of the IPCC during the AR6, and the three AR6 Special Reports into a concise document. It consists of …
Understanding the Determinants of Aspirations in Rural Tanzania
Aspirations have recently received increased attention in the analysis of poverty and its dynamics. The argument is that aspirations provide reference points for individuals’ forward-looking decisions and behaviours. Understanding of what determines aspirations is vitally important to design development interventions that can raise aspirations. In this paper, we analyse whether financial literacy is associated with individuals’ aspirations. Using…
Does Agricultural Commercialisation Increase Asset and Livestock Accumulation on Smallholder Farms in Ethiopia
The transition of farmers from subsistence to market-oriented agriculture is meant to reduce hunger, increase wellbeing and accelerate rural economic progress. While an impressive extant literature has analysed agricultural commercialisation effects on welfare from an income, expenditure and consumption perspective, authors place less attention on the implications on asset holdings, which is a more robust long-term measure of welfare. Using chick…
A compound event-oriented framework to tropical fire risk assessment in a changing climate
Tropical fire activity closely follows the co-occurrence of multiple climate stressors. Yet, it remains challenging to quantify how changes in climate alter the likelihood of fire risks associated with compound events. Recent abrupt changes in fire regimes in iconic landscapes in Brazil (namely the Pantanal and Xingu) provide a key opportunity to evaluate how extremely dry and hot conditions, both together and individually, have influenced the pr…
Left-wing dissidents were the link between the pre-soviet socialist tradition and the post-soviet one
This interview with Ilyia Budraitskis touches on the keystones of his book Dissidents among Dissidents: Ideology, Politics and the Left in Post-Soviet Russia (Verso, 2022). Ilyia Budraitskis presents the turning points in the development of the left dissident movement in the Soviet Union, the various streams and faces of the left in post-Soviet Russia, and their understanding of new issues such as the “color revolutions.” The original interview, …
Projected changes in hot, dry and wet extreme events’ clusters in CMIP6 multi-model ensemble
Concurrent extreme events, i.e. multi-variate extremes, can be associated with strong impacts. Hence, an understanding of how such events are changing in a warming climate is helpful to avoid some associated climate change impacts and better prepare for them. In this article, we analyse the projected occurrence of hot, dry, and wet extreme events’ clusters in the multi-model ensemble of the 6th phase of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (…
Revisiting assessments of ecosystem drought recovery
The time taken for ecosystems to recover from drought (drought recovery time) is critically important for the ecosystem state. However, recent literature presents contradictory conclusions on this feature: one study concludes that drought recovery time in the tropics and high northern latitudes is shortest ( 12 months) in these regions. Here we explore the reasons for these contradictory results and revisit assessments of drought recovery time. W…
Althusser, Feuerbach and the Non-Identical Concept of the Body
This article begins with a detailed analysis of Althusser's criticism of Feuerbach as an “ideologue” of the body. Althusser concentrates on the mirror structure of the subject and the object and on empiricism, which represents the ideological discourse. I argue that Althusser overlooked Feuerbach's decisive revelations: a bodily materiality which corresponds to Adorno's non-identical inner nature, and the ontological condensation of the human bei…
Participation without Negotiating
Although the political context in Uganda exhibits democratic deficit and patronage, research and development actors have given little attention to the possible negative impact these may have on agricultural policymaking and implementation processes. This article examines the influence of power in perpetuating prevailing narratives around public participation in agricultural policymaking processes. The analysis is based on qualitative data collect…
The Politics of Unification in a Fragmented World
Neoliberal capitalism intensified the social fragmentation, which resulted in the upswing of heterogeneous communities without a unifying meta-language that was liberal universalism of citizenship. Our society shows “paralogical” traits and paralogy reverberates in the new populist policy I call metapopulism (Trump, Putin, etc.)-witness their inconsistencies. Metapopulism establishes unifying principles as a substitute of liberal universalism. Th…
Metapopulism in-between democracy and populism
Laclau introduces three preconditions of populism: the formation of an antagonistic frontier separating the ‘people’ from the enemy; an equivalential articulation of demands; and the unification of social demands into a stable system of signification. I show that with Trump’s and Putin’s populism these preconditions change. An antagonistic frontier became perforated with double interpretation of the enemy. Dichotomy ‘we’ versus the ‘other’ is tra…

The role of social learning for soil conservation
Social learning plays key roles in sustainable natural resource management; however, studies on its role show mixed results. Even though most current studies highlight positive outcomes, there are also negative effects of social learning with respect to natural resource management. This paper explores the influence of social learning outcomes on the adoption of soil conservation practices in Amba Zuria, Ethiopia. Data were collected through semi-…

Informal institutions as mechanisms to address challenges in communal grazing land management in Tigray, Ethiopia
The role of institutions providing rules, norms and regulations, in addressing challenges in communal resources management has been debated for several decades. This article analyses the role of informal institutions for addressing shortage of grazing land, conflicts among users of communal grazing land and resistance among users to shift from free grazing to zero grazing in Tigray, Ethiopia. We used in depth interviews and focus group discussion…

Formal Structure in Polar Eskimo Drumsongs
The Polar Eskimos are a small, isolated group of people.2 Since their discovery in 1818 by Sir John Ross, many accounts have been given of their characteristic song, the drumsong, called ivngerneq or ingmerneq. The first casual notations of Polar Eskimo drumsongs were made at the end of the last century by a few explorers; the first collection of such songs (38 songs) was published in 1902 by the American Robert Stein after his stay at Cape Sabin…

This article compares the effectiveness of informal and formal institutions for sustainable common pool resources (CPRs) management in Sub-Saharan Africa and investigates the social, political and demographic conditions that influence the institutions' effectiveness. By focusing on publications addressing micro-level CPR management, a comprehensive literature review was conducted. Articles were grouped, based on the main themes of the study, incl…
Pro-poor Commercial Management of Non-timber Forest Products in Nepal's Community Forest User Groups
This article explores the factors that influence pro-poor commercial management of non-timber forest products (NTFPs) in 3 community forest user groups (CFUGs) in the Dolakha district in Nepal. Management of NTFPs through CFUGs is an important poverty-reduction strategy in rural Nepal. National policy documents encourage management of NTFPs by CFUGs for commercial purposes, particularly by involving marginalized communities. It is therefore impor…

Traditional Inuit songs from the Thule area. Volume 1
This publication deals with the traditional song of the Inuit, primarily Inughuit from the Thule area, but also from Baffin Island and the Copper Inuit and Uummannaq and Upernavik areas, based on sound recordings from 1909, 1912, 1915, 1937, 1962 and 1984. In 1937 Professor Erik Holtved (1899-1981) recorded 134 traditional songs: no drum-songs and 24 other songs. Transcriptions and scientific processing of this collection is the nucleus of this w…
Consumer Attitudes towards Vegetable Attributes
Considering the inappropriate use of synthetic pesticides on vegetables in West Africa, the rationale behind this research was to assess the extent to which consumers can function as demanders of risk reduced vegetables and hence act as innovators towards vegetable safety. Using the cases of Kumasi and Accra in Ghana, the study examined possible consumer responses to product certification that communicates freedom from pesticides (e.g., organic c…
