Objectives
This case study contributes to two main learning objectives
To provide concepts and tools necessary to grasp the complexity and dynamics of agrarian change and rural development
To facilitate the identification and/or design of agroecological innovations that are adapted to local conditions
For these purposes, the case study will illustrate that...
Rural areas are complex and changing places...
Especially, market integration of rural areas tend to foster processes of land use intensification, land degradation and economic diversification and engender a diversity of local development trajectories
There are no one-size-fits-all solutions to agroecological issues...
Especially, the suitability (and adoption) of agroecological innovations can be differentiated from one socioeconomic and environmental context to another
