Can climate interventions open up space for transformation? Examining the case of climate-smart agriculture (CSA) in Uganda by Eriksen, S.H., Cramer, Laura K., Vetrhus, I., Thornton, Philip K.

“…In particular, it is in the interaction between these spheres where spaces for transformation lie; for example, in the contesting of subjectivities casting farmers as passive recipients of expert advice, in the assumptions regarding what constitutes “good development”, and in how worldviews frame the way we see human-nature relations. Nevertheless, interventions like CSA are often focused mainly on changes to practices or technologies, rather than on how power relations or worldviews shape practices, food security and inequity. …”

Resource degradation, low agricultural productivity, and poverty in sub-Saharan Africa: pathways out of the spiral by Ehui, Simeon K., Pender, John L.

The differences in strategies across these domains mainly reflect differences in the mix of those investments as influenced by different comparative advantages.…”
