| Lecturer / Title: | "Assessing nature's contributions to people: A plural values approach for understanding transitions at forest-agriculture frontiers" Prof. Unai Pascual (Basque Centre for Climate Change (BC3)) "Swidden transformation and its influence on fallow forests with wild tea and other NTFPs: a case study in Japan, Laos, and Myanmar" Prof. Shinya Takeda (Kyoto University) "Living with(in) Protected Areas – does the separation of protected areas from agricultural land work in practice?" Prof. Ole Mertz (University of Copenhagen/Invited Scholar) |
| Overview: | Prof. Unai Pascual (Basque Centre for Climate Change (BC3)), Prof. Shinya Takeda (Kyoto University) and Prof. Ole Mertz (University of Copenhagen/Invited Scholar) will address how land use competition between smallholder agriculture and areas set aside for nature protection materialize and how discursive and other immaterial flows influence the social-ecological changes taking place at local level. The seminar will include global and local analyses and address some of the core dilemmas at forest-agriculture frontiers, e.g. how shifting cultivation can co-exist with and influence various forms of nature and landscape protection, and how widely practiced land sparing approaches through agricultural intensification may (or may not) secure nature protection. |
