WUR - Stichting Wageningen Research, research institute Wageningen Plant Research, Netherlands
The Social-ecological Interactions in Agricultural Systems research group at University of Kassel, Germany, integrates theoretical frameworks and state-of-the art methods from the social and natural sciences. Concepts such as sustainability, resilience, complexity and transformations in social-ecological systems are addressed using quantitative and qualitative approaches. Research areas relevant for this project include: multifunctional rural landscapes - change and management; peri-urban areas and land-use developments; collaborative landscape planning and community development.
Role in the project
The University of Kassel is leading Work Package 3 (WP3) of the project: "Socio-cultural drivers of Agroforestry Systems (AFS) implementation." Our focus is on identifying the awareness, motivations, and perceived values surrounding agroforestry systems, while also analysing existing knowledge and agency related to agroforestry. Additionally, we will explore solutions to challenges and conflicts associated with grazing and the establishment of agroforestry systems. Furthermore, through dialogue and collaboration with project partners and participants, we will contribute to local capacity building.
