Decision support tools such as Multicriteria Analysis (MCDA) can be employed in the context of Theory Change (ToC) to stakeholders' concerns and guide agroecological transitions tropics. Given so often limitation financial resources, identifying priority areas for large-scale, cost-effective investments is critical. This study introduces a simplified card-ranking MCDA approach integrate spatialised socioecological factors stakeholder preferences restoration Northeastern Pará, Brazil. The stakeholders interviewed comprised 20 farmers 23 specialists. They were tasked ranking 21 with potential influence secondary vegetation dynamics (according regression modelling study), grouped into two clusters: "economic/infrastructure" "biophysical/land use restrictions". Both groups prioritised key infrastructure factors, like distance 'roads', 'markets', 'urban centres'. Discrepancies arose biophysical/land prioritising, example, 'conservation units sustainable use', factor disregarded by data was processed through prioritization model applied 10 × km grids produce maps. Specialists identified 5 % NE Pará mesoregion high priority, while indicated 9 %, convergence revealing Bragantina microregion promote agroecology (33 high-priority area). Our results offer insights Structured Making (SDM) methods inform regional policies, highlighting western southwestern Salgado prime interventions.

Abstract Land managers are challenged with the need to balance priorities in production, greenhouse gas (GHG) abatement, biodiversity and social license operate. Here, we develop a transdisciplinary approach for prioritising land use, illustrated by co-designing pathways transitioning farming systems net-zero emissions. We show that few interventions enhanced productivity profitability while reducing GHG Antimethanogenic feed supplements planting trees afforded greatest mitigation, revenue diversification wind turbines adoption of livestock genotypes feed-conversion efficiency (FCE) were most conducive improving profit. Serendipitously, intervention lowest licence—continuing status quo purchasing carbon credits offset emissions—was also costly pathway transition net-zero. In contrast, stacking several mitigate enteric methane, improve FCE sequester entirely negated enterprise emissions profitable way. conclude costs lower when bundled and/or evoke co-benefits.

Abstract Multistakeholder platforms (MSPs) are increasingly applied in environmental governance as institutions to collectively negotiate challenges, opportunities, and policy options contested landscapes. However, their contributions effectiveness depend on how stakeholders perceive frame the role of MSPs addressing social challenges. Despite this dependence, stakeholder perceptions currently under-researched. Hence empirical study carried out Zambia’s Kalomo District asks: do groups landscape given context dual land tenure system, what does imply for implementation integrated approaches? This uses Q-methodology analyze purposefully selected from state institutions, civil society organizations, users, others familiar with existing at district village levels. The findings reveal three narratives. first one presents that foster dialogue. second narrative foregrounds government private sector, despite acknowledging diversity MSPs. In narrative, should focus supporting market-driven solutions resolve third recognizes power imbalances considers identify gaps needs. two narratives positioned Dryzek’s discourse classification problem-solving, while inclines toward green radicalism. divergence, there was consensus have potential harmonize policies a system encourage dialogue between reconcile

The global trade of agricultural commodities has profound social-ecological impacts, from potentially increasing food availability and efficiency, to displacing local communities, incentivizing environmental destruction. Supply chain stickiness, understood as the stability in trading relationships between supply actors, moderates impacts commodity production possibilities for supply-chain interventions. However, what factors determine that is, how why farmers, traders, processors, consumer countries, develop maintain with specific producing regions, remains unclear. Here, we use data on Brazilian soy chain, a mixed methods approach based extensive actor-based fieldwork, an explanatory regression model, identify explore influence stickiness places actors. We find four groups be important: economic incentives, institutional enablers constraints, social power dimensions, biophysical technological conditions. Among explore, surplus capacity processing infrastructure, (i.e., crushing storage facilities) is important export-oriented production. Conversely, volatility market demand expressed by farm-gate prices lower land-tenure security are key reducing stickiness. Importantly, uncover heterogeneity context-specificity determining suggesting tailored interventions beneficial. Understanding does not, itself, provide silver-bullet solutions stopping deforestation, but it crucial prerequisite understanding actors identifying entry points sustainability interventions, assessing effectiveness such forecasting restructuring flows, considering sourcing patterns territorial planning.

Integrated landscape approaches (ILA) aim to reconcile multiple, often competing, interests across agriculture, nature conservation, and other land uses. Recognized ILA design principles provide guidance for implementation, yet application remains challenging, a strong performance evidence-base is be formed. Through critical literature review focus group discussions with practitioners, we identified considerable diversity of in actors, temporal, spatial scales, inter alia. This hampers learning from steering because the intractable concept. Therefore, developed tool—an 'ILA mixing board'—to structure complexity into selectable scalable attributes replicable way allow planning, diagnosing, comparing ILA. The board tool presents seven qualifiers, each representing key attribute (for example, project flexibility, inclusiveness dialogue, centrality power distribution). Each qualifier has five (non-normative) outcome indicators that can registered as present or absent. process turn guides planners, evaluators participating stakeholders involved management diagnose type, its performance. We apply three cases Nicaragua, Madagascar, Congo Basin show some many possible configurations qualifiers on board. Further would comparative analysis structured manageable thereby enhancing understanding informing development evidence-based use policy.
