Current agricultural practices in Europe are increasingly aggravating societal and environmental safety concerns. This creates social regulatory pressures on farmers, which can lead to declining material status of farmer discontent, anti-regulation protests. These tensions rooted conflicting value systems for development, range from productivist pathways (i.e. valuing production above all else) increasing multifunctionality agriculture its contribution multiple economic, needs).

ABSTRACT Tropical forests face alarming rates of deforestation and degradation, driven mainly by agricultural land expansion. West Africa is particularly affected widespread forest fragmentation, leaving behind isolated patches in an agriculture‐dominated landscape. Forest fragmentation isolation can impact structural complexity, biomass, species richness through various edge effects. The consequent loss biodiversity ecosystem services expected to be more prominent small fragmented closer...
Abstract Context Anthropogenic landscape change is an important driver shaping our environment. Historical analysis contributes to the monitoring and understanding of these processes. Such analyses are often focused on specific spatial scales single research methods, thus covering only limited aspects change. Objectives Here, we aim assess potential combining historical aerial imagery local stakeholder interviews for studies using a standardized mapping interviewing approach. Methods We...
