The authors provide an overview of the telecoupling concept and framework as well as their applications to land system science. First, the authors clarify different interpretations of the framework such as it being structured versus processual, active versus passive roles of sending and receiving systems, comprehensiveness and flexibility, feasibility ...

Governance for Sustainability in Telecoupled Systems
2019Telecoupling describes specific global flows and interconnections that pose novel challenges for sustainability governance. This chapter examines contributions to the governance literature that have addressed aspects of global interconnectedness and that might inform a more systematic engagement with and theorisation of the phenomenon of telecoupling ...

Framing ecosystem services in the telecoupled Anthropocene
Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment, 2016Around the globe, previously isolated localities are rapidly forming connections over increasing spatial extents, through the flow of ecosystem services ( ES ). With the intensification of human demands, systematic research on ES over distances is ...

Trade and Land-Use Telecouplings
2019Production of commodities to meet global demand for food, fibre and energy is the most important driver of land-use change globally. In this chapter, we examine the causes and effects of trade and land-use telecouplings, identifying some of the emerging properties of global trade—such as the increasing trade volume and market integration—as well as ...

Planetary Health Consequences of Telecoupled Shrimp Farming
EcoHealthThe international demand for shrimp from Bangladesh exhibits a Telecoupled system. Semi-intensive to intensive shrimp farming has changed vast coastal areas into saline zones by altering land use and land cover. While shrimp cultivation significantly contributes to foreign exchange earnings, it also leads to various social and environmental impacts ...

Telecoupling and Consumption in Agri-Food Systems
2019Garrett and Rueda analyse the drivers of food systems globalisation and the ways in which increasingly global and homogeneous consumption practices are creating new couplings between places of consumption and production. The authors present recent data on food consumption trends and then describe the changes in demographics, economies, information ...

Livelihoods through the Lens of Telecoupling
2019While the literature increasingly stresses the influence of globalisation on livelihoods, the ways livelihoods are connected to the world are often more specific than the undifferentiated influence of global processes. In this chapter, I discuss how the telecoupling framework can disentangle the complex fabric of the ‘global’ by adopting a relational ...
