Properly managed, the agricultural sector in Europe can contribute to many of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by improving food security, reducing poverty and enhancing biodiversity. But new research shows that indicators to measure key SDGs such as health and equality are entirely missing fro
Colombia is emerging from an internal conflict that lasted more than 50 years. In this process rural land-use is being transformed, generating new conflicts over land use and control with detrimental effects on Colombia's forests. In this article published in the Journal of Political Ecology, Torsten Krause analyze the ways in which peace-building and post-conflict transition have led to increased
