Sustainability through the eyes of Ecuadorian cocoa farmer communities
Cocoa farming communities in Ecuador face interconnected sustainability pressures, including civil insecurity, the expansion of industrial agriculture, and the extractive use of natural resources. This study asks how smallholder cocoa farmers in 2 socially and ecologically distinct regions, the Amazonian Tena and the coastal Naranjal, define sustainability in their own terms, how these bottom-up definitions compare with a standardized top-down in…
How to square the circle? A conceptual framework synergising strategies for circular agriculture to tackle climate change and enhance overall on-farm sustainability
There is an urgent need to change the current extractive and resource-intensive agricultural practices. Adopting circular practices within the agricultural system could provide multiple benefits of slowing global climate change, reducing extractive practices and helping farmers to adapt to a changing climate. However, there are still many barriers for farmers to adopt these desired circular agriculture (CA) practices, among others, a lack of info…
Creating pathways to just and sustainable food systems with citizen assemblies
Food systems affect and are affected by the interrelated crises of climate change, biodiversity loss, resource depletion and health, amongst others. Transforming to sustainable approaches is vital, yet entangled with uncertainties, complexity and a great value diversion with stakeholders. Deliberative processes such as citizen assemblies offer a valuable contribution to such a transformation, since the crises and their responses affect everyday l…
Pay the farmer, or buy the land?—Cost-effectiveness of payments for ecosystem services versus land purchases or easements in Central Kenya
