Abstract Approximately 90% of global forest cover changes between 2000 and 2018 were attributable to agricultural expansion, making food production the leading direct driver deforestation. While previous studies have focused on interaction human environmental systems, limited research has explored deforestation from a system perspective. This study analyzes drivers in 40 tropical subtropical countries (2004–2021) through lenses consumption/demand, production/supply trade/distribution using...
<title>Abstract</title> According to the latest Global Forest Resources Assessment, approximately 90% of global forest cover changes between 2000 and 2018 was attributable agricultural expansion, positioning food production as greatest direct driver deforestation. Our understanding underlying drivers deforestation has generally been informed by land systems studies focusing on how interactions human environmental influence use change. Yet, despite prominent role expansion for in driving...
Despite the Amazon's natural wealth, food insecurity is a major concern among indigenous communities. Yet, little known about socio-ecological dynamics shaping contributions of local ecosystems to security. In this study we examine how ecological features interact with normative structures, lifestyles, and livelihoods expose peoples shortages they attempt cope worsening conditions through participatory exercises ten communities along Caquetá River, Colombia. Our results indicate that...
In this article, we operationalized a sustainability framing based on the Sustainable Rural Livelihood Resources Framework (SLF), which consists of five capitals—human, physical, social, financial, and natural. We proposed index (SI) for two landscapes dominated by agricultural systems: cattle ranching small-scale family agriculture. Farm variables within each capital were analyzed using confirmatory factor analysis. Key identified values calculated capital. These combined through set...
