Farmers’ values for land, trees and biodiversity underlie agricultural sustainability
Tree-dominated, forest gardens (FGs) are an ancient, tropical agricultural land use that farmers continue to practice and value. Knowing why farmers value FGs is important because this can increase livelihood security and the skillful governance of land. We chose Sri Lanka to investigate farmers’ values for land, contextual factors that effect valuation, stressors that impact agriculture, and farmers’ current and future response strategies. Mixed…
A synthetic approach to sustainable agriculture and resource conservation
Agricultural Sustainability and Traditional Agriculture: Learning from the Past and its Relevance to Sri Lanka
That contemporary understandings of agricultural systems are not leading to the solution of food and fiber deficiencies is not a new claim. Current interpretations of these problems seem not to make a difference in terms of policy and approach with a few notable exceptions. The failure to solve such problems can be viewed as resulting from epistemological difficulties. Given such difficulties, the position of applied social science can be recast …

What Does One Say to a Naked Lady? Validity, Variability, and Data Collection: A Peruvian Example
Because of the nature of the ethnographic data collection task, tests of validity in anthropological research have been somewhat neglected. The development of tests of validity for the concepts used in the discipline enhance the confidence one can have in any given concept. This paper demonstrates the application of one approach to the determination of validity based upon the Multitrait-Multimethod Matrix developed by Campbell and Fisk for the ev…
Standardization and Measurement in Cultural Anthropology: A Neglected Area [and Comments and Reply]
One of the major problems facing anthropology as it continues to develop as a scientific discipline is the development of standardized research approaches. This article reviews the issues involved in the creation of standardized research procedures in the discipline. The relationship between cross-cultural comparison and the collection of field data is explored. The process of standardization, incliding the operationalization of concepts, the cre…
