Agricultural living labs: Bridging theory and practice through transformative learning
Purpose This conceptual study addresses methodological and conceptual gaps in Agricultural Living Labs (ALLs) by integrating Mezirow’s Transformative Learning (TL) theory into their design. It aims to enhance agricultural education and knowledge co-creation, enabling stakeholder-driven resilience amid climate volatility.Design/methodology/approach This study follows a qualitative, conceptual, and meta-analytical design, developed through a four-s…
Sustainable and Resilient Agrifood Systems ( Saras ). A Leibniz Position
Current agrifood systems fail to provide healthy, affordable food for all while also damaging the environment, contributing to climate change, reducing biodiversity, and increasing inequality. Given these compounding crises, it is crucial to transition towards sustainable and resilient agrifood systems (SARAS). This paper synthesizes perspectives from multiple disciplines on SARAS, incorporating consensus statements, current research positions, a…
Mapping and prioritising landscape feature restoration in agricultural landscapes: A case study in Brandenburg, Germany
EU agricultural landscapes are vital for biodiversity. Intensive agricultural practices constitute, however, key drivers of biodiversity loss. The EU Biodiversity Strategy for 2030 aims to restore “at least 10 % of agricultural area under high-diversity landscape features”, yet it lacks specific guidance for assessment and implementation. Here, we develop an approach to (a) map and assess agricultural landscape features (LF) cover at a landscape …
Knowledge of returning wildlife species and willingness to participate in citizen science projects among wildlife park visitors in Germany
Successful conservation efforts have led to recent increases of large mammals such as European bison Bison bonasus , moose Alces alces and grey wolf Canis lupus and their return to former habitats in central Europe. While embraced by some, the recovery of these species is a controversial topic and holds potential for human‐wildlife conflicts. Involving the public has been suggested to be an effective method for monitoring wildlife and mitigating …
Balancing socioeconomic development with ecological conservation towards rural sustainability: A case study in semiarid rural China
Despite the dramatic progress in poverty reduction, China‘s vast rural areas of backwardness, environmental degradation and low labour productivity are a long-standing challenge to achieve common prosperity and sustainable development. Finding a balance between ecological conservation and socioeconomic development is a solution. However, previous studies have largely neglected the concept. Here, we proposed a framework that integrates the ecologi…
Working with or against multifunctional landscapes? A case study of land users' local knowledge of grassland-forest transition zones in northeastern Germany
Maintaining or restoring landscape multifunctionality is essential to ensuring that landscapes provide a broad array of services. Increased multifunctionality means that there are more diverse land uses bordering each other. The areas in which land uses interact are transition zones; those between grasslands and forests could fulfill multiple purposes due to their special ecological characteristics that support the needs of diverse species. Howev…
Role of social networks in building household livelihood resilience under payments for ecosystem services programs in a poor rural community in China
Differences in the Spatial Variability Among CO2, CH4, and N2O Gas Fluxes from an Urban Forest Soil in Japan
Eco-balance analysis of land use combinations to minimize environmental impacts and maximize farm income in northern Japan
