Transformation to Sustainability in the Amazon: The Role of Place-Based Farming Initiatives

Prof. Eduardo Brondizio, Indiana University-Bloomington
Discussant Dr. Antonio Ioris, Cardiff University

This presentation reflects on the opportunities and challenges of #PlacebasedSustainability initiatives in the #Amazon in light of development #inequalities, #globalmarkets, and #climatechange. The context is set with an overview of the findings of the Global Assessment Report on #Biodiversity and #Ecosystem Services (#IPBES). It then introduces the #AGENTSproject (#AmazonianGovernance to Enable Transformation to #Sustainability), which has been documenting local-level initiatives across the #BrazilianAmazon. These are place-based initiatives in rural areas pursuing changes in productive systems, governance arrangements, value-aggregation and access to markets with the goals of improving living standards and #EnvironmentalSustainability. The presentation examines challenges and opportunities for local initiatives at the intersection with historical and current trends in economic development and policies in the region.

This lecture took place on 30th April 2021 as part of the CEDLA Lecture Series. For more information on our public lectures, check out our website www.cedla.nl
