Displacement and degradation
Indigenous Food Sovereignty in the United States
This edited volume assembles contributions from a suite of Native scholar-activists to explore how the concept of food sovereignty applies to various Indigenous communities throughout the United States, and perhaps in distinct ways to US Indigeneity as a whole. Chapters range from descriptions of historical Native foodways and their undermining through processes associated with settler colonialism to examples of contemporary initiatives and activ…
Agricultural Biodiversity Maintenance in a Coastal Socio-Ecological System
Assessing the Impacts of Agrobiodiversity Maintenance on Food Security Among Farming Households in Sri Lanka’s Dry Zone
Examining adaptations to water stress among farming households in Sri Lanka’s dry zone
Climate change is increasing water scarcity in Sri Lanka. Whether these changes will undermine national-level food security depends upon the ability of the small-scale farmers that dominate rice production and the institutions that support them to overcome the challenges presented by changing water availability. Analyzing household survey data, this research identifies household, institutional, and agroecological factors that influence how water-…
The political ecology of 'ethnic' agricultural biodiversity maintenance in Atlantic Nicaragua
Correlations between farmer ethnic identity and the agrobiodiversity they maintain have been identified globally. This has been maintained even as small-scale farmers are increasingly connected to extra-local political economic systems, which are cited as the driver of global agrobiodiversity erosion. Yet, how ethnicity influences the maintenance of biodiverse farming systems is poorly understood. Employing a political ecology framework that inte…
