“…In turn, an agroecological transition is being proposed to restructure socioeconomic and political aspects in food systems to achieve a healthy, human-rights-based, and democratic decision-making process (Isgren and Ness, 2017;Misra, 2018). This relates closely to the food sovereignty movement that incorporates vital cultural significance into traditional knowledge and praxis (Wyckhuys and O'Neil, 2007;Acevedo-Osorio et al, 2017;Addinsall et al, 2017;Isgren and Ness, 2017;van Niekerk and Wynberg, 2017;Stein et al, 2018;Bezerra et al, 2019).…”

There have been many calls for an agroecological transition to respond to food shocks and crises stemming from conventional food systems. Participatory action research and transformative epistemologies, where communities are research actors rather than objects, have been proposed as a way to enhance this transition. However, despite numerous case studies, there is presently no overview of how participatory approaches contribute to agroecological transitions. The present article therefore aims to understand the effect of applying participatory action research (PAR) in agroecology. We undertook a systematic review of articles reporting methods and results from case studies in agroecological research. On the one hand, our systematic review of 347 articles shows that the agroecological research scope is broad, with all three types—as science, a set of practices and social movement—well-represented in the corpus. However, we can see a clear focus on agroecology “as a set of practices” as the primary type of use of the concept. On the other hand, we found a few case studies (23) with a participatory approach while most studies used extractive research methods. These studies show that understanding the drivers and obstacles for achieving an agroecological transition requires long-term research and trust between researchers and farmers. Such transformative epistemologies open doors to new questions on designing long-term PAR research in agroecology when confronted with a short-term project-based society.

“…In some agroecosystems, cultural practices and knowledge can influence the way non‐production vegetation is conserved or used in the landscape, such as for securing reliable sources of timber, fuel, food, medicine (e.g. Altieri & Toledo, 2002; García‐Serrano & Del Monte, 2004; Huambachano, 2018) and for other benefits such as tourism (Addinsall, Weiler, Scherrer, & Glencross, 2017); conversely, land use and management changes imposed from the top down (e.g. by policy) that, for instance, encourage increased landscape homogenization and intensification, can have unforeseen negative impacts on the provisioning of cultural ecosystem services (Hanaček & Rodríguez‐Labajos, 2018).…”

1. An ever-expanding human population, climatic changes and the spread of intensive farming practices are putting increasing pressure on agroecosystems and their inherent biodiversity. Non-production vegetation elements, such as woody patches, riparian margins and restoration plantings, are vital for conserving agroecosystem biodiversity. Furthermore, such elements are key building blocks that are manipulated via land management, thereby influencing the biotic and abiotic processes that underpin functioning agroecosystems. 2. Despite this critical role, there has been a lack of synthesis on which types of vegetation elements drive and/or support ecological processes, and the mechanisms by which this occurs. Using a systematic, quantitative literature review of 342 articles, we asked the following questions: what are the effects of non-production vegetation on agroecosystem processes and how are these processes measured within global agroecosystems? 3. Woody patches, hedgerows and borders, riparian margins, and shelterbelts were the most studied types of non-production vegetation. The majority (61%) of studies showed positive effects of non-production vegetation on ecological processes, where the presence, level or rate of the studied process was increased or enhanced. 4. However, four key research gaps were revealed: (a) most studies (83%) used proxies for, instead of direct measurements of, ecosystem processes related to non-production vegetation; (b) study designs used to investigate non-production vegetation effects on ecosystem processes directly were largely limited to observational comparisons of non-production vegetation types, farm-scale vegetation configurations and different proximities to vegetation in terms of the effect on ecological processes; relatively few studies used manipulative experiments; (c) the relatively few studies directly measuring ecosystem processes were dominated | 293 People and Nature CASE Et Al.

“…Ambelu, Lovelock & Tucker (2018), plantean como propuesta a la situación de inseguridad alimentaria que se presenta a nivel mundial, al turismo como base para la generación de nuevos estilos de vida, mediante un modelo que lo integra y establece su relación a partir de estudios previos, con la pobreza, subsistencia, sostenibilidad y seguridad alimentaria, concluyendo que mediante diversos mecanismos a través del turismo puede disminuirse significativamente la pobreza cuya erradicación en todas sus formas y dimensiones se espera para el año 2030 en el marco de los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible ODS. De igual manera Addinsall, Weiler, Scherrer & Glencross (2017), establecen al turismo agroecológico como la vía para mejorar los medios de subsistencia de los pequeños agricultores en Pentecostés del Sur, Vanuatu, a través de los objetivos de conservación y seguridad alimentaria, que aunque la agricultura tradicional lo ha cubierto en algunos aspectos, así como en zonas específicas, no se desconoce que debe propenderse a la interacción a nivel económico, ambiental y sociocultural. En las zonas rurales, se ha fomentado actividades turísticas tales como el ecoturismo y el agroturismo, favoreciendo no sólo el desarrollo sino la conservación de dichas áreas.…”

El objetivo de este artículo es establecer la correlación de la actividad turística sostenible y su efecto en una cadena de valor agrícola, su contribución al producto interno bruto PIB y determinar su impacto en la ciudad de Bogotá-Colombia durante el período comprendido entre los años 2010 a 2018. Se utilizaron datos estadísticos oficiales donde se analizó como variable dependiente la actividad hotelera sostenible y, la independiente, la cadena agrícola a partir de un modelo de regresión lineal simple. El resultado muestra una relación significativa en la primera mitad del período de la actividad turística y se observa una influencia en la actividad agrícola. Se concluye la necesidad de establecer un método de análisis para futuras investigaciones sobre el impacto del turismo en las diferentes cadenas de valor de esa ciudad y otras actividades económicas relacionadas.
