“…Other research studies that applied serious games also found major difficulties in adapting a unique tool for many contexts and encourage the co-production of these tools with the stakeholders mobilizing arena (Hassenforder et al 2015) or companion modelling approach (i.e. Falardeau et al 2019).…”

Combining participatory games and backcasting to support collective scenario evaluation: an action research approach for sustainable agroforestry landscape management

et al. 2020

The combined and interacting effects of land-use change, resource extraction and climate change threaten the sustainability of millions of mainly smallholder farms in tropical agroforested landscapes. In many of these landscapes, coordinated action among stakeholders at landscape level would help to address challenges such as pests and diseases, price crises and climate change. However, methods to facilitate the co-production of sustainable landscape management in such complex multi-stakeholder systems are currently largely lacking. In this paper, we present a novel approach to explore pathways for the sustainability transition of agroforestry systems. By combining participatory forecasting and backcasting approaches, based on serious games and future vision development, we explore relevant agroforestry management strategies for reaching sustainable future coffee-based agroforestry landscapes. We focused our research on the challenges faced in the main coffee-producing area in Nicaragua. Here, we organized five participatory game sessions to explore farmer decision-making processes, farming strategies and to develop new networks and stimulate social learning among farmers. In the associated backcasting workshop, the most influential game session participants joined technicians, researchers and municipality officials to collectively envision sustainable future landscape management. In all game sessions, farmers developed diversified coffee-based agroforested landscapes characterised by increased density and diversity of shade trees, for the purpose of income diversification as well as forest conservation. During the backcasting workshop, the participants identified policy instruments and community-based solutions for the transition to sustainable landscapes. Our participatory approach facilitated discussion on landscape planning among farmers and other stakeholders and allowed the outline of a pathway towards the collective envisioned future landscape. The combination of participatory forecasting and backcasting proved to be a helpful tool to support multi-stakeholder processes towards sustainable landscape management in this and other complex landscapes.

“…The constituent parts of these hybrid institutions tend to be pre-existing and informal institutions along with newly introduced and formal institutions. This kind of bricolage process can effect positive ecological and socioeconomic outcomes when a hybrid institution is a better fit for a local socioecological context (Hassenforder et al, 2015;Faggin and Behagel, 2018;Steenbergen and Warren, 2018). As the case study in Xinqi shows, a hybrid institution was created when the SLCP was introduced.…”

“…In particular, governments should provide institutional flexibility to enable the bricolage process to facilitate adaptive governance in PES, ensuring such programmes are a good fit with local socialecological contexts. NGOs must also play a heightened role, as these stakeholders can facilitate institutional bricolage through the promotion of participatory processes (Hassenforder et al, 2015). This requires governments to deregulate the registration of NGOs and reduce constraints on their activities to allow their wider involvement in PES programmes such as the Chinese SLCP.…”

“…As for disaster management, Frick-Trzebitzky et al (2017) indicated that institutional bricolage enabled the incorporation of different knowledge and cultures to bolster adaptive capacity in managing urban flooding in Accra, Ghana. In Uganda, Hassenforder et al (2015) suggested that, instead of designing an 'institutional fit', the participatory approach more likely to be initiated by an NGO can facilitate the kinds of institutional bricolage that leads to positive environmental outcomes. Existing literature also focuses on water governance and suggests customary institutions interact with formal institutions to form new governance arrangements to meet local multipurpose needs (Jones, 2015;Sakketa, 2018).…”

Institutional bricolage in payment for ecosystem services: Insights from the Sloping Land Conversion Programme in upland communities, Southwest China

Global discussion of payment for ecosystem services (PES) has moved beyond the simple notion of effecting environmental and livelihood improvement for participants. Changes in the local governance following the introduction of PES have become a focus as it may affect the local incentive for sustainable natural resource management. Although there has been increasing attention on the interplay between different institutions in shaping PES outcomes, the institutional outcomes resulting from these interactions and the understandings of local institutional dynamics are limited. Drawing on in-depth case studies from Southwest China, this research uses an institutional bricolage framework to examine how pre-existing and informal local institutions interacted with a newly introduced and formal PES programmethe Chinese Sloping Land Conversion Programme. It reveals that institutional bricolage processes can lead to positive ecological and socioeconomic outcomes when hybrid institutions were built to fit the local socio-ecological contexts. The policy implication from this research calls for decentralisation reforms and provision of institutional flexibility. This would allow bricolage processes to foster adaptive governance in the implementation of PES programmes.
