Summer School: Participatory Processes in Agroecology and Landscape Restoration

Deze Summer School wordt in het Engels gegeven. De beschrijving is daarom ook in het Engels

Landscape restoration has become a matter of urgency on the global agenda, as societies seek to halt and reverse biodiversity loss and climate change while securing livelihoods and food production. Agroecology offers alternatives for the design and management of sustainable landscapes that integrate nature conservation, food production and climate change adaptation/mitigation. Landscapes are living spaces where people, multiple land uses and diverse interests intersect, and where decisions ultimately depend on those who live and work on the ground. In this context, participation is essential to promote transitions in socioecological systems and to ensure that restoration pathways are both effective and socially just.

In this summer school on Participatory Processes in Agroecology and Landscape Restoration, you will explore how to design and facilitate participatory processes that connect local actors, scientific knowledge and policy frameworks to co-create resilient futures for degraded landscapes. Over five days, you will be introduced to core concepts in landscape ecology, restoration planning and agroecology, together with theories and tools for participation, facilitation and collaborative decision-making.
