Este artículo aborda las dimensiones socioculturales de la tierra en los procesos de desagrarización familiar, una realidad invisibilizada bajo los enfoques economicistas de las transformaciones agrarias. Analizamos los valores, deberes e imaginarios sobre la tierra en distintas generaciones de familias con explotaciones vitícolas gestionadas a tie...
Comparing agricultural management practices across scales and in different cultural settings can reveal shared insights into the capacity to adjust and respond to change and uncertainty. Differences make comparisons in environmental risk perceptions and responses particularly interesting and valuable, with obtained similarities being in many ways m...
The last decades have witnessed a growing research interest of local ecological knowledge (LEK), with some research focusing on its effective transmission for natural resource management. Here we contribute to this body of research by focusing on an understudied agroecosystem: home gardens in rural areas of developed countries. We characterize home...
Este artículo desarrolla un análisis etnográfico de distintos Bancos de Tierras locales (BDT) en Cataluña. El interés desde la escala local por estos programas públicos orientados a facilitar el acceso a la tierra se dirige a paliar los procesos de desagrarización y dibuja estrategias de reagrarización y acceso a la tierra heterogéneas y adaptadas...
Ressenya del llibre: Cortés Vázquez, José A.; Beltran, Oriol (coord.) (2019) Repensar la conservación. Naturaleza, mercado y sociedad civil. Barcelona: Edicions de la Universitat de Barcelona.
L’article explora les pràctiques, creences, valors i imaginaris de persones vinculades a un banc de terres comarcal (BdT), un programa de reagrarització centrat a facilitar l’accés a la terra. Arran dels processos de desagrarització, la terra ha perdut, per moltes persones que en posseeixen, el valor com a factor de producció essencial i ha passat...
Ecosystem Services are acknowledged in science, planning and policy as a concept useful to better understand and guide the complex sets of relationships between nature and human societies, including land use. Efforts have been made to identify and describe the multiple trade-offs amongst different ecosystem services, and also the various ways in wh...
The policy and planning framework for land use in Scotland has undergone major changes since political devolution began in 1998. The latest reforms have set numerous objectives related to semi-natural, rural and urban landscapes, with a key role attributed to the expansion of corridors and networks. In this paper, we examine the feasibility of the...
The expansion of renewable energies is a political priority of the EU, with targets having been set for 2020 (EU Renewable Energy Directive, 2009), and then extended towards 2030 (2030 EU Energy Strategy, 2014). The Scottish Government translated these targets into its own policy framework, initially resulting in the approval of a Climate Change Ac...
Ecosystem Services are acknowledged by science (Yongmin et al, 2014), planning (Albert et al, 2014) and policy (Helming et al, 2013) as a useful concept to better understand and guide the complex relationships between societies and their environment, including land use. Efforts have been made to identify and describe the multiple trade-offs amongst...
Even if the issue of cross-scale rural governance is being thoroughly discussed (Cash, et al, 2006; Cumming, et al, 2006; Termeer, et al, 2010), a directly related issue concerning the complementarities of governance instruments is arising. One main problem detected is the lack of coordination amongst such instruments that are, in fact spatially co...
Scotland is undergoing a rapid transition towards a low-carbon economy. Such transition is sustained by an ambitious political agenda that aims to significantly expand renewable energies, with actions proposed over the production and consumption components of the renewable energy system. A significant part of these efforts are directed towards the...
Research in the potential of Ecosystem Services for landscape planning and policy making is considered a key
asset to devise novel pathways towards more sustainable and multi-functional landscapes (de Groot et al,
2010). This has resulted in the strong relevance of new knowledge aimed at embedding Ecosystem Services
within landscape planning and po...
