A session on Social – Ecological Systems and participatory methods for sustainable landscape management will take place at the IALE 2017 European Congress (September 12-15 2017).
Summary of the session
Using the conceptual framework of Social-Ecological-Systems (S-E-S), we focus on its application with participatory research to enhance provision of public goods and ecosystem services from EU agriculture and forestry. Building on the PEGASUS project, novel spatial analysis highlights potential for enhanced benefits, and local case studies explore how institutions, markets, collective action and policy can help realise these in contrasting S-E-S. Presentations will show novel techniques and analytical approaches that can be applied to better understand and enhance S-E-S resilience through action by stakeholders and policy makers at local, national and international levels.
