Chapter
Full-text available
In recent decades, the global demand for food and biomass has been increasing, while natural resources continue to deplete and are further stressed by the impacts of climate change. Additionally, rising energy and input costs have pushed agricultural production to its limits, placing farming communities in an increasingly precarious position. This...
Article

Smallholder farmers are key players in agrarian value chains, particularly in the Global South. In the planning of technology-oriented agricultural interventions featured prominently in bioeconomy policies they are however often neglected. As global demand for food and biomass is expected to rise, production increase through (bio) technological mea...

Baumwolle ist die ökonomisch wichtigste Nutzpflanze Pakistans, weshalb die Region Südpunjab mit dem dort gelegenen Baumwollgürtel eine zentrale Rolle für die Landwirtschaft des Landes darstellt. Berichte über einen drastischen Rückgang der Baumwollproduktion in der Region haben in den letzten Jahren landesweit Besorgnis ausgelöst. Die derzeitige Ba...

Many CE practitioners consider the first international CE agreement between China and the EU a milestone towards such an effort. This analysis shows why this expectation is premature. European and Chinese st...
Conference Paper

I aim to counter the productivity narrative in agrarian studies by investigating the path dependent land use changes in the cotton belt of South Punjab to uncover: (1) ecological impacts of intensification, particularly in the post-Green Revolution era (post- 1974), (2) smallholder perspectives on expensive technological solutions, and (3) actors a...
Preprint
Many consider the recent development of a ‘circular economy’ (CE) between the EU and China a milestone towards global efforts to address pressing environmental problems of extraction, resource use and waste management. The implications of EU-China’s efforts to coordinate on CE for the development of international environmental politics, however, ha...
