Understanding transformations in the marine coastal realm: The explanatory potential of theories of institutional change
The role of institutions in food system transformations: Lessons learned from transdisciplinary engagements in Ethiopia, the Philippines, and Indonesia
In many parts of the Global South, food systems are confronted with complex sustainability challenges including high levels of poverty, food insecurity, malnutrition, disempowerment, and degraded environments. Transformation is broadly discussed in research, policy, and planning as the systemic change required to address complex sustainability issues. Transformation of food systems has become a global priority for research and action. However, tr…
Commoning the governance: A review of literature and the integration of power
The concept of commoning is continuing to gain scholarly interest, with multiple definitions and interpretations across different research communities. In this article, we define commoning as the actions by groups with shared interests towards creating shared social and relational processes as the basis of governance strategy. Perhaps it can be more simply defined as collective ways of relating and governing. This article addresses two specific g…
Aquaculture governance: Five engagement arenas for sustainability transformation
Operationalising the leverage points perspective for empirical research
The role of perceptions and social norms in shaping women’s fertility preferences: A case study from Ethiopia
The population–environment–food nexus is a sustainability challenge for the Global South, and for Africa in particular, where rapid human population growth typically overlaps with high levels of food insecurity and environmental degradation. In this context, it is important to understand the reasons driving high fertility in these regions. Here, we examined possible determinants of women’s fertility preferences in rural southwestern Ethiopia. Usi…
Operationalizing agency in livelihoods research: Smallholder farming livelihoods in southwest Ethiopia
Livelihoods are activities and practices in which social and environmental factors interlink, and they play a key role in achieving human well-being and environmental conservation. Livelihood analyses are therefore important to social-ecological systems research. With a few exceptions, however, the concept of agency has been largely missing in research applying the social-ecological systems approach. This is an important gap to address, because h…
A social-ecological assessment of food security and biodiversity conservation in Ethiopia
We studied food security and biodiversity conservation from a social-ecological perspective in southwestern Ethiopia. Specialist tree, bird, and mammal species required large, undisturbed forest, supporting the notion of 'land sparing' for conservation. However, our findings also suggest that forest areas should be embedded within a multifunctional landscape matrix (i.e. 'land sharing'), because farmland also supported many species and ecosystem …
Capital asset substitution as a coping strategy: Practices and implications for food security and resilience in southwestern Ethiopia
Leverage points for improving gender equality and human well-being in a smallholder farming context
How transformative processes could be facilitated to improve gender equality and consequently, human well-being, is a key question for moving towards a just and sustainable future. Focusing on southwestern Ethiopia where significant changes in formal institutions related to gender have occurred, we applied the concept of systemic leverage points. We show that changes in formal structures facilitated changes in perceived visible gender gaps, such …
