Unravelling vicious circles of land use competition and food insecurity in agropastoral rangelands
In many regions of the world, the adoption of new livelihood strategies that compete with traditional strategies is one driver of competition over land, resulting in unforeseen impacts on the livelihoods of land users and accelerating land degradation. One example is the Borana Zone in southern Ethiopia, where the expansion of crop cultivation into communal pasturelands undermines traditional livestock‐based livelihoods. The trend of pastureland …
Pastoralists’ perceptions on the future of cattle farming amidst rangeland degradation
Improving the design of climate insurance
Extreme weather conditions in the face of due to climate change often disproportionately affects the weakest members of society. Agricultural insurance programs that are specifically designed specifically for smallholders in developing countries are valuable tools that can help farmers to cope with the resulting risks. A broad range of methods including household surveys, experimental games, and agent-based models have been used to assess and imp…
How to make socio‐environmental modelling more useful to support policy and management
Dynamic process‐based modelling is often proposed as a powerful tool to understand complex socio‐environmental problems and to provide sustainable solutions as it allows disentangling cause and effect of human behaviour and environmental dynamics. However, the impact of such models in decision‐making and to support policy‐making has so far been very limited. In this paper, we want to take a critical look at the reasons behind this situation and p…
