“…The concept of constructivism originally applied in the field of education ( e.g ., Fosnot 1996) provides an attractive conceptual approach for achieving conservation in complex landscapes ( e.g ., Steins & Edwards 1999). Constructivism entails starting from the present situation and building gradually and adaptively toward a socially acceptable compromise (Hagmann et al 2003).…”

The landscape approach is being used for initiatives that have the dual objectives of conserving biodiversity and alleviating poverty. However, working at such landscape scales greatly expands the level of ambition of conservation organizations and requires them to use skills that differ from those that they have traditionally deployed. Influencing landscape change requires major commitments for long periods of time and since there is still little evidence for the success of such approaches they should be used cautiously. Landscape programmes must be based on a comprehensive understanding of landscape dynamics and of the underlying drivers of social, economic and ecological change. Just as in any other investment in conservation it is important to set objectives in clear and measurable terms. Landscape approaches should therefore complement and not replace more conventional biodiversity conservation measures. They should be guided by scenarios agreed by concerned stakeholders, should be constructivist and in most cases their success will require major changes in the behavior of local people.

“…Agricultural innovation methods build on the trend since the 1990s toward more integrated approaches, particularly in achieving impact with R&D in natural resource management (NRM) (Hagmann et al 2002). NRM-related R&D was based on systems approaches, was context specific, relied on tools and methods rather than physical technologies, involved farmer participation and adaptive management approaches, and was facilitated by a range of institutional actors.…”

This chapter explores the potential for organizing African agricultural research within an AIS framework. The first section evaluates the principal issues involved within the specific context of the region. The second section presents a concrete example of the approach in the form of a case study. Thereafter, the principal methodologies for bringing about this kind of organizational transformation are reviewed. Finally, existing examples of the region’s use of the AIS approach are reviewed to explore lessons learned to date.Book chapterPRIFPRI1; CRP2; ASTIEPTD; PIMCGIAR Research Program on Policies, Institutions, and Markets (PIM

“…This high level of involvement supported confidence and resulted in research topics that were familiar. In addition, it provided a sense of ownership (Hagmann et al, 2003) for the farmers that were involved. A true (problem) identification phase, however,…”
