Between law and practice: Navigating legal pluralisms in food waste donation and redistribution in Germany and the UK
Science and policy have increasingly spotlighted the socio-economic and environmental issues associated with food waste, emphasizing the need for its reduction. Although normative frameworks like the waste hierarchy have been established, e.g. at the EU level, fragmented regulatory landscapes regarding surplus food persist. This study examines how stakeholders in the UK and Germany navigate the legal challenges of food waste donation and redistri…
Intersectando a agricultura urbana, o meio ambiente e a educação: Lições sobre a co-criação de infraestruturas verdes urbanas comestíveis em Maputo e Xai-Xai, Moçambique
O acrónimo SYNERGI significa, em inglês Socially Inclusive Edible Urban Green Infrastructure, em tradução livre, “Infraestrutura Verde Urbana Comestível Socialmente Inclusiva”. Este acrônimo foi foi dado ao nome do projecto implementado entre março de 2023 e setembro de 2025. O projecto resultou da colaboração entre a Universidade Eduardo Mondlane e o University College Dublin. O projeto SYNERGI foi implementado com vista a promover o envolviment…
Policy mapping for sustainability: Understanding temporal patterns in the consideration of health and well-being in Indonesia’s legislation
Health and well-being are fundamental to sustainable development and central to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as they entail coordinated, cross-sectoral policies that systematically and effectively integrate these considerations. This study applies a novel quantitative policy mapping method to Indonesia’s legislation from 1945 to 2024, examining how health and well-being have evolved in the policy discourse amid shifting soci…
A global (South) collective burden: A systematic review of the current state of climate-related hazards in informal settlements
Livelihoods as everyday heritage: Urban redevelopment, heritage discourses and marketplace trade in Moore Street, Dublin
While central to the origins, evolution and provisioning of cities, traditional markets are under threat globally as urban renewal supporting particular forms of economic development comes centre-stage. Design-led placemaking and built heritage policy have become tools of local, regional and national development, and urban heritage has become economically instrumentalised. In this paper, we argue for an alternate conceptualisation. Through a case…
You have to keep it going: Relational values and social sustainability in upland agriculture
A transition to a more sustainable food production system in Europe has significant implications for the social constitution of rural spaces. Moreover, research has highlighted that engagement with sustainability initiatives can be affected by people's desire to maintain aspects of their current social realities pertaining to occupations, traditions and lifestyles. Farmers are central to a sustainable agricultural transition, yet are also sociall…
Street markets, urban development and immigrant entrepreneurship: Unpacking precarity in Moore Street, Dublin
Traditional markets represent vital spaces of opportunity for livelihood-building, intercultural contact and for developing familiarity with the city. Yet, worldwide, markets are under pressure due to redevelopment agendas driven by neoliberalised forms of urban governance. Although precarious sites of occupation and employment, markets still maintain an attractiveness for immigrant micro-entrepreneurs as a foothold into the labour market and urb…
Challenges and Prospects of Integrating GIS Education in Development Studies in a Global South Context
Geographic Information Systems (GIS) are increasingly applied to support evidence-based decisions across disciplines, including the global development and humanitarian sector. However, higher education programmes in development-related fields rarely integrate GIS as a teaching and learning component. This paper describes a GIS module collaboratively developed for a Vietnamese undergraduate development studies curriculum. It explores opportunities…
Mind the Gap: Exploring the Challenges and Opportunities for Social Enterprise in Vietnam
Social enterprise is a maturing area of activity within the development sector, and in Vietnam the sector has expanded significantly over the last thirty years, providing social services to communities and individuals experiencing socio-economic exclusion. Initially growing in a legislative vacuum, social enterprise currently appears to be flourishing following recognition by the state. However, the sector now faces new challenges as it matures. …
Actor motivations to engage with collaborative agri-environmental policy: An assemblage based exploration
Playing with time in Moore Street, Dublin: Urban redevelopment, temporal politics and the governance of space-time
Whether urban redevelopment is considered a “success” or “failure” is dependent on the temporal framings that we privilege. Until relatively recently, geographers have neglected the temporal politics that underpin urban redevelopment despite space-time being a crucial aspect framing the urban experience under capitalism. In this paper we argue for a focus on temporal politics or the politics associated with how time is experienced. Drawing on a c…
Disciplining the State: The role of alliances in contesting multi-level agri-environmental governance
Frontier Livelihoods: Hmong in the Sino-Vietnamese Borderlands
Contestations in the Production and Trade of Upland Alcoholic Spirits in Northern Vietnam
In the uplands of Vietnam, home-distilled rice and maize spirits have long had a strong sociocultural and economic role for many ethnic minority groups. Recently, some of these products have been transformed into cultural commodities, as the Vietnamese state and other parties have — in activities often labelled development interventions — identified, invested in and branded villages specialized in their production. A case study of the trademarkin…
Remaking markets in the mountains: Integration, trader agency and resistance in upland northern Vietnam
As part of an ongoing agenda by Vietnamese lawmakers and local state officials to accelerate market integration in the northern mountains, rural marketplaces are being physically and managerially restructured according to standard state-approved models. Moreover, these market directives are coherent with the 'distance demolishing technologies' that James Scott (Citation2009) suggests the state has implemented to bring these uplands more directly …
A good wife stays home’: Gendered negotiations over state agricultural programmes, upland Vietnam
Rural and livelihood studies, alongside development organisations, are stressing the importance of gender awareness in debates over food security, food crises and land tenure. Yet, within the Socialist Republic of Vietnam, these gender dynamics are frequently disregarded. In Vietnam, rice is intimately linked to the country's food security. Over the last decade, rice export levels, production methods, and local and global market prices have remai…
At what price rice? Food security, livelihood vulnerability, and state interventions in upland northern Vietnam
Navigating fieldwork politics, practicalities and ethics in the upland borderlands of northern Vietnam
In this article, I detail and evaluate the negotiations I had to broker to conduct ethnographic research on marketplace vendors and trade in the upland borderlands of northern Vietnam. Working with the analogy of the numerous 'lines' I was constrained by, had to manoeuvre around, and at times crossed over, I begin with a discussion of the 'official lines' or state regulations imposed upon my research and how I worked with, or negotiated these lim…
