Collaborative management of forests por Wollenberg, Eva Karoline, Campbell, Bruce M., Shackleton, S., Edmunds, D., Shanley, P.

“…Governments in many countries typically predetermine which species can be planted in reforestation or agroforestry schemes and what types of organizations can be given rights to manage forests.Whereas local people have gained greater legal access to forests and some might have increased their incomes, many have also lost out. For example, game areas and plantations have been frequently established on land used by poorer members of communities for grazing or cultivation. …”

Simulating rural environmentally and socio-economically constrained multi-activity and multi-decision societies in a low-data context: A challenge through empirical agent-based mod... por Saqalli, M., Gerard, Bruno G., Bielders, Charles L., Defourny, Pierre

“…However, such sites lack the necessary amount of reliable, checkable data and information, while these very constraining factors determine the populations' evolutions, such as villagers living in Sahelian environments. Beyond a game-theory model that leads to a premature selection of the relevant variables, we build an individual-centered, empirical, KIDS-oriented (Keep It Descriptive & Simple), and multidisciplinary agent-based model focusing on the villagers\' differential accesses to economic and production activities according to social rules and norms, mainly driven by social criteria from which gender and rank within the family are the most important, as they were observed and registered during individual interviews. …”

Drivers of consumer acceptability of cassava gari-eba food products across cultural and environmental settings using the triadic comparison of technologies approach (tricot) por Olaosebikan, Olamide, Bello, Abolore, Sousa, Kauê de, Ndjouenkeu, Robert, Adesokan, Michael, Alamu, Emmanuel Oladeji, Agbona, Afolabi, Etten, Jacob van, Ngoualem Kégah, Franklin, Dufour, Dominique, Bouniol, Alexandre, Teeken, Béla
