The Future Geographies of Food
Amid deepening socioecological concerns, the future geography of food promises to become more contested in the next few decades. This special issue, which is an offshoot of the American Geographical Society’s symposium on the Future of Food, brings together a rich blend of articles that interrogate diverse aspects of the future of food, including questions on the promise of high-tech modes of food production, alternative food sources for the futu…
Reframing Pre-European Amazonia through an Anthropocene Lens
This article examines three intertwined forms of human transformation of Amazonia’s landscapes: (1) anthrosols, (2) cultural or domesticated forests, and (3) anthropogenic earthworks. By acknowledging the extent to which landscapes are humanized, an Anthropocene lens provides an opportunity to examine Amazonia as an Anthropogenic space (anthrome), providing a more realistic approach to understanding the region’s past and for guiding its conservat…

Genetically Engineered Crops as Necessary Invention
Genetically engineered (GE) crops and derived foods are here to stay, whether they are liked or not. My opinion of them is relatively agnostic. I am neither a strong convert to these “miracle” crops, their potential to “save the world,” and defend them regardless of critique, nor am I a critical rejecter of their incursions into my food choices.

General principles behind traditional environmental knowledge
Traditional environmental knowledge (TEK) has become a widely used concept in theory and practice.TEKencompasses environmental knowledge acquired by people native to, or long-term inhabitants of, specific places, over long periods of time; knowledge which is then assumed to apply only to those local areas.TEKhas indeed been particularly characterised as a use of local knowledge in the search for solutions to specific, local, environmental problem…
Searching for a Better Life
The world today is an urban world. While rural to urban migration has contributed significantly to the increased urbanization of the globe, that process has not always been as clear and permanent as it appears. In this paper we report on the migration of smallholders to peri‐urban interface () zones in western Pará state, Brazil. We found that rural‐urban migrants were constrained by their lack of marketable skills and as a consequence had few jo…

Locating Amazonian Dark Earths
Terras pretas são solos antropogêncos, ricos em matería orgânica, bastante férteis, que ocorrem em pequenas manchas por toda bacia amazônica. Esses solos têm chamado atenção porque, em geral, os solos amazônicos são de relativa baixa fertilidade e por suas ligações com a história pré-colonial da amazônia. Por ocorrerem em pequenas manchas isoladas, a documentação desses solos tem se constituído um desafio. Existem poucos mapeamentos desses solos …
Urban agriculture in Santarém, Pará, Brazil
Urban agriculture, including urban homegardens, is vital for urban survival of many people in various cities around the world, including those in the Amazon region of Brazil. These spaces, through daily praxis, become important for incidental agrodiversity conservation as food plants are cultivated and their plant material circulated. Utilizing data from a year-long intensive qualitative study of 25 rural-urban migrant households, this article co…
Pastoral Herd Management, Drought Coping Strategies, and Cattle Mobility in Southern Kenya
Livestock mobility facilitates opportunistic grazing management strategies that pastoralists employ to counter environmental variability in rangelands. One such strategy is moving livestock to temporary camps that are closer to areas of underutilized forage during times of drought. In areas where pastoralists graze near large protected areas, movement into protected areas, where both forage quantity and quality are higher, is also a common strate…
Amazonian Dark Earths
Amazonian soils are almost universally thought of as extremely forbidding. However, it is now clear that complex societies with large, sedentary populations were present for over a millennium before European contact. Associated with these are tracts of anomalously fertile, dark soils termed terra preta or dark earths. These soils are presently an important agricultural resource within Amazonia and provide a model for developing long-term future s…
Jute cultivation in the Lower Amazon, 1940–1990
Surviving the City
The Brazilian Amazon region is today an urban place, with 70% of its population residing in urban places. Economic development has lagged behind urbanization and new migrants continue to rely on self-provisioning, especially by growing food in urban home gardens, to meet their food needs. This study is a descriptive analysis of local urban livelihood emphasizing the importance of informal systems of production, exchange, and knowledge that contri…

Further Reflections on Amazonian Environmental History
Despite the increasing sensitivity of researchers to historical and contemporary landscape manipulations in the Amazon basin, there is still a powerful consensus in both popular and scholarly literatures that, with the exception of predatory deforestation, the physical environment of the region is largely unmodified by human intervention. An emerging body of scholarship has challenged this view by describing ways that Amazonian populations have m…

Seasonal Floodplain-Upland Migration along the Lower Amazon River
A current pattern of seasonal migration, particularly among smallholders, is marked by movement between the Amazon River floodplain and upland bluffs near the city of Santarém, Brazil. Nearly fifty years of jute cultivation “subsidized” residents of the floodplain, enabling them to remain there year‐round. Without this subsidy, annual flooding and the concomitant seasonal dearth of cash‐economy activities make permanent occupancy difficult. The p…
Insights and Applications Local Soil Knowledge
Local soil knowledge is an important source of information when designing sustain able land management strategies. Local people's insights, perceptions, and manage ment strategies are often attuned to local soil conditions and can offer guidance for realistic land management. This article reviews the existing literature on local soil knowledge and suggests ways it can be used more effectively in sustainable land management. I discuss three genres…

Getting to Know Waiwai
Living with the Wayapi, and their charismatic leader Waiwai, is a serious adventure. It is demanding, and can turn dangerous in a moment. The environment is a difficult one, but beautiful and baffling in its richness. And the job of learning about the people is like a journey without end. Alan Campbell tells the story of these people, and of the time he spent with them, in an imaginative, beautifully written account which looks back from a centur…
