ADAPTIVE GOVERNANCE OF SOCIAL-ECOLOGICAL SYSTEMS [PDF]
Annual Review of Environment and Resources, 2005 ▪ Abstract We explore the social dimension that enables adaptive ecosystem-based management. The review concentrates on experiences of adaptive governance of social-ecological systems during periods of abrupt change (crisis) and investigates social sources of renewal and reorganization.

A social–ecological analysis of the global agrifood system [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2019 Significance The failure to end hunger and the environmental deterioration underpinning food systems have prompted a paradigm shift around food security. We propose a social–ecological approach and carry out a quantitative analysis of 43 indicators of food sovereignty and 28 indicators of the sociodemographic, social wellbeing, and ...
