| Abstract: |
The landscape scale is a meeting point for bottom–up local initiatives to secure and improvelivelihoods from agriculture, agroforestry and forest management, and top–down concerns andincentives related to planetary boundaries to human resource use.
Sustainable development goals require a substantial change of direction from the past wheneconomic growth was usually accompanied by environmental degradation, with the increase ofatmospheric greenhouse gasses as a symptom, but also as an issue that needs to be managed assuch.
In landscapes around the world, active learning takes place with experiments that involve changesin technology, farming systems, value chains, livelihoods’ strategies and institutions. An overarchinghypothesis that is being tested is:
Investment in institutionalising rewards for the environmental services that are provided bymultifunctional landscapes with trees is a cost-effective and fair way to reduce vulnerabilityof rural livelihoods to climate change and to avoid larger costs of specific ‘adaptation’ whileenhancing carbon stocks in the landscape.
Such changes can’t come overnight. A complex process of negotiations among stakeholders isusually needed. The divergence of knowledge and claims to knowledge is a major hurdle in thenegotiation process.
The collection of tools—methods, approaches and computer models—presented here was shapedby over a decade of involvement in supporting such negotiations in landscapes where a lot is atstake. The tools are meant to support further learning and effectively sharing experience towardssmarter landscape management. |
