Towards collective action in ecosystem services governance: The recognition of social interdependencies in three collective agri-environmental initiatives in Quebec

“…For instance, the economic and social benefits of agri-environmental ESs within commodity crop production (e.g. soy, maize) create economic benefits for those involved in commodity supply chains, but they do less to structurally alter the market-driven imperative to intensify land use in the long-term, resulting in environmental consequences for those in surrounding areas (Kolinjivadi et al, 2020). To this end, we acknowledge the presence of long-term tradeoffs between intensive land uses, focused on increasing food production and yields, and conservation practices to improve the quality of regulation services (water quality, erosion, among others).…”

Deconstructing Ecosystem Service Conflicts through the Prisms of Political Ecology and Game Theory in a North-Western Mediterranean River Basin

“…One example of such a trade-off would be between irrigation water and greater ecological flows for environmental purposes. Analyses of this type can help identify whose interests ecosystem and WES management policies are designed to serve, that is, if their main intention is to increase provisioning ES, understood as economic, merchandisable goods (Kolinjivadi et al, 2020 ), such as water for irrigation, domestic use, and food production, or to regulate flows needed to safeguard water ecosystems. We found that many of the political decisions taken in the period analyzed were designed to increase the flow of provisioning WES (essentially water for irrigation and human consumption) with the aim of resolving problems in the agricultural and urban-tourism sectors.…”

Conquistar el desierto al servicio de una dieta global: la agricultura de oasis del centro-oeste argentino en el auge de la ecología mundo capitalista

“…Originaria del altiplano andino fue introducida después de la colonización en la dieta europea, principalmente en Irlanda, no sin cierta dificultad, ya que no aparecía en la Biblia (Robbins, Hintz, y Moore;. En el siglo XIX, mientras se presentaba en los países recién industrializados como alimento estratégico o wage food, las papas fueron "reintroducidas" al continente americano, más específicamente en EEUU por los (Robbins, Hintz y Moore;Kolinjivadi et. al, 2020).…”
