How is the Capability Approach Applied to Assess Well-being Impacts? A Systematic Review
Heterogeneous pathways of technological change in marginalised rural areas
Dynamic and cumulative processes shaping technology adoption receive less attention in agricultural research compared to snapshot analyses of its determinants. We address this through theory-driven evaluation and the Propositions, Encounters, Dispositions and Responses framework. In 2005, research institutes introduced improved cassava varieties (ICVs) in East Cameroon. In the following decade, economic transformations brought in new development …
How can the past inform and benefit research-for-development interventions? The value of reflexive and participatory approaches
Development projects are often anchored in short timeframes that limit the possibility of creating a continuum across projects and building a collective “living memory” based on the accumulation of experiences and interactions. Taking stock of the influences of projects on a place is important for research-for-development projects, which are characterised by long-term dynamics and a learning posture. Impact evaluation approaches can help capture,…

Under what conditions do payments for environmental services enable forest conservation in the Amazon? A realist synthesis
Payments for environmental services (PES) have been widely studied as one possible way to counter deforestation and support livelihoods. Given the high rates of deforestation in the Amazon region, it is important to study under which conditions PES have positive environmental and social outcomes. We contribute to this debate through a systematic review based on the Realist Evaluation framework. First, we review case studies to identify configurat…
A respondent‐driven method for mapping small agricultural plots using tablets and high resolution imagery
Agricultural statistics on small farms are critical for informing sustainable development policies, but often suffer from selection bias and are time consuming and costly to collect. Less burdensome and reliable methods are needed. We report on a scalable method using a respondent's knowledge about their land, high resolution imagery, and tablet devices to draw spatially explicit plot boundaries. We find the method may work best with respondents …
Changes in food access by mestizo communities associated with deforestation and agrobiodiversity loss in Ucayali, Peruvian Amazon
Few longitudinal studies link agricultural biodiversity, land use and food access in rural landscapes. In this paper, we test the hypothesis that, in a context of economic change, cash crop expansion is associated with deforestation, reduced agrobiodiversity and changes in food access. For this purpose, we analysed data collected from the same 53 upland and floodplain mestizo households in Ucayali, Peru, in 2000 and 2015. We found an emerging tra…
Sustainable agriculture for health and prosperity
Food systems need to focus more on health, prosperity, and environmental sustainability. This requires changes in what, where, how and by whom food is produced, marketed, and consumed. Interdisciplinary research and trans-disciplinary collaboration are needed. Stakeholders need to agree on their respective roles, values, responsibilities and modus operandi so that research better responds to real-world challenges and opportunities. This viewpoint…
The Different Dimensions of Livelihood Impacts of Payments for Environmental Services (PES) Schemes
Hunters and hunting across indigenous and colonist communities at the forest-agriculture interface
BACKGROUND: Wildlife has been traditionally used by forest communities as a source of protein, and the Peruvian Amazon is no exception. The articulation of colonist and indigenous communities to urban centers and markets results in changes in livelihood strategies and impacts on wildlife populations. To address the threat of overhunting and forest conversion, we provide a generalized characterization of colonist and indigenous communities and the…
