Integrated Landscape Approaches: A Pathway Towards Just Sustainable Development
Open AccessMirjam A F Ros-Tonen, Mirjam Ros-Tonen et al.ARTICLEProgress in Development Studies2026References: 12
Landscape approaches mobilize stakeholders across sectors and scales to negotiate development–conservation trade-offs and land-use allocation. Building on the concept of earth system justice, we examine how efforts to operationalize such approaches in Ghana, Zambia and Indonesia advance landscape justice. We observed contributions to procedural, recognitional and intergenerational justice, while interspecies justice remains overlooked. Yet, power…

Exploring the relationship between plural values of nature, human well‐being, and conservation and development intervention: Why it matters and how to do it
Open AccessRachel Carmenta, Julie G Zaehringer et al.ARTICLEPeople and Nature2023
Globally, land and seascapes across the bioculturally diverse tropics are in transition. Impacted by the demands of distant consumers, the processes of global environmental change and numerous interventions seeking climate, conservation and development goals, these transitions have the potential to impact the relationships and plurality of values held between people and place. This paper is a Synthesis of seven empirical studies within the Specia…
Relational values of forests: Value‐conflicts between local communities and external programmes in Sulawesi
Open AccessL Yuliani, M Moeliono et al.ARTICLEPeople and Nature2023
Studies found that rapid decline of biodiversity and ecosystems globally have adversely affected an estimated 1.6 billion rural people whose livelihoods both directly and indirectly depend on forests. To halt the loss of forests and other natural ecosystems that simultaneously support rural livelihoods, various external programmes have been developed and applied, including market‐based and rights‐based approaches. However, rapid biodiversity and …
Redd+ benefit sharing in Ethiopia: Policy and stakeholder perceptions analysis
T T Pham, M Moeliono et al.ARTICLEThe International Forestry Review2021
Current Ethiopian policies and laws recognize the importance of equitable benefit-sharing mechanisms for natural resource management. The question of 'what is fair' is often unclear in practice. We pursue this question in the context of benefit sharing for Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD+) in Ethiopia. We present findings from interviews conducted in 2017 with 33 national REDD+ actors, and a review of national p…
Forest governance in DRC: An analysis from actors' participation in Redd+ policy development
T T Pham, F Kengoum et al.ARTICLEThe International Forestry Review2021
The Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) has implemented Reduced Emissions from Deforestation and forest Degradation (REDD+), a process that requires inclusive decision making and accountability. Our research analyses the participation of policy actors in DRC by asking: (1) Who is involved in national REDD+ policy making and what is their interest in participating in core policy events? (2) What level of participation do the different political act…

The forest frontier in the Global South: Climate change policies and the promise of development and equity
Open AccessMaria Brockhaus, Monica Di Gregorio et al.ARTICLEAMBIO2021Cited by: 4References: 89
Halting forest loss and achieving sustainable development in an equitable manner require state, non-state actors, and entire societies in the Global North and South to tackle deeply established patterns of inequality and power relations embedded in forest frontiers. Forest and climate governance in the Global South can provide an avenue for the transformational change needed—yet, does it? We analyse the politics and power in four cases of mitigat…

Social forestry in Southeast Asia: Evolving interests, discourses and the many notions of equity
Open AccessGrace Y Wong, M Moeliono et al.ARTICLEGeoforum2020Cited by: 16References: 12
Southeast Asia has long promoted social forestry (SF) in conservation areas, fallow forests, tree plantations, areas in timber concessions and locally managed agro-forest systems, with the engagement of diverse actors and objectives. SF has evolved from early aims of empowerment and devolution of rights advocated by global reform movements, and is now reframed in the market ideal as a win–win–win endeavor for sustainable forest management, climat…
Local Agency in Development, Market, and Forest Conservation Interventions in Lao PDR’s Northern Uplands
Open AccessRobert Coles, Robert Cole et al.ARTICLESoutheast Asian studies2019
Themes of inclusion, empowerment, and participation are recurrent in development discourse and interventions, implying enablement of agency on the part of communities and individuals to inform and influence how policies that affect them are enacted. This article aims to contribute to debates on participation in rural development and environmental conservation, by applying a structure-agency lens to examine experiences of marginal farm households …
The colour of maize: Visions of green growth and farmers perceptions in northern Laos
Open AccessK H, Maarit Helena Kallio et al.ARTICLELand Use Policy2019Cited by: 7References: 27
The rapid expansion of hybrid maize in the uplands of northern Laos is viewed by the government as meeting policy aims related to green economic development. Yet, growing evidence of negative consequences of maize expansion are emerging. Based on farmers’ perceptions, we study: (1) farmers’ reasons for adopting and abandoning maize, and; (2) implications of commercial maize expansion on local livelihood security and inclusiveness (food supply, in…
Development and equity: A gendered inquiry in a swidden landscape
Open AccessCynthia Maharani, Cynthia D Maharani et al.ARTICLEForest Policy and Economics2018Cited by: 7References: 24
Market-driven development is transforming swidden landscapes and having different impacts along intersections of gender, age and class. In Kapuas Hulu, West Kalimantan, Indonesia, Dayak communities practicing swidden agriculture are making choices on maintaining traditional land use systems, and engaging in rubber, oil palm and conservation (REDD+) in their livelihood strategies. Although REDD+ has been heralded as an alternative to oil palm as a…

The model comprises nested layers with subjective wellbeing in the centre surrounded by a core of health, wealth and knowledge, and a context that includes natural, economic, social and political spheres, as well as service and structural aspects. These nine facets of poverty cover basic ne…

Collective action has been identified, by governments and nongovernmental organizations, as a mechanism to improve smallholder farmers' bargaining power and access to input and output markets. In many developing countries, supporting collective action has and continues to be an important policy instrument.
