Where the material and the symbolic intertwine: Making sense of the Amazon in the Anthropocene

Joana Castro Pereira et al.

Summary: This article explores different forms of relationality to forests and Amazonian indigenous symbolism and analyzes the material and symbolic meanings associated with forests. Drawing on political sociology, political ecology, and anthropology, the article presents the Amazon basin as a unique site where nature, culture, resource extraction, and spirituality intersect. The study finds that the perception and symbolism of the Amazon play a crucial role in moving beyond the dominant attitudes of the Anthropocene.

Evolution and expansion of the One Health approach to promote sustainable and resilient health and well-being: A call to action

Elizabeth L. Mumford et al.

Summary: One Health is a holistic approach to addressing complex health concerns involving humans, animals, plants, and ecosystems. While frameworks and tools are available, the full implementation needs to consider the interconnections and complexities of diverse influences at a larger system level. To ensure effectiveness, One Health must evolve in scope, approach, and worldview inclusivity, incorporating diverse partners, knowledge systems, and methodologies from fields outside of mainstream health and science. By integrating different worldviews, disciplines, and ways of knowing, One Health can remain effective in our rapidly changing and complex world.

Separating the two faces of bioeconomy: Plantation economy and sociobiodiverse economy in Brazil

Ossi I. Ollinaho et al.

Summary: This article critically analyzes the current framing of bioeconomy in Brazil, particularly in the context of Amazonian diverse economies. The study highlights the dangers and misleading aspects of equating natural forests with bioeconomy, especially when compared to soybean plantations. The conflation of the term bioeconomy has made it difficult to promote sustainable versions of bio-based economies and it is essential to disentangle this concept and focus on the impact of land use practices on biodiversity and social organization.

Medicinal plants production systems in rural Indonesia: Management practices and performance insights

Sri Astutik et al.

Summary: Through a survey of 150 households in Java, Indonesia, this study analyzes the financial performance of three different production systems in medicinal plants and explores the management practices associated with these systems. The research reveals that forest gathering has the highest net benefit per average household, while forest farming has the lowest net benefit. The study highlights the need for management guidelines to regulate the forest gathering system and ensure its long-term complementary function.

Indigenous Knowledge in the Amazon's Bioeconomy: Unveiling Bioepistemicide through the case of Kambo Medicine

Maria Fernanda Gebara et al.

Summary: Indigenous knowledges have gained attention in environmental governance, particularly in biodiversity, but epistemic injustices remain. The difference in knowledge from dominant Western knowledge is undervalued or misused, reinforcing settler colonialism. In this study, we introduce the concept of bioepistemicide and explore the implications of the bioeconomy agenda for Indigenous peoples in the Brazilian Amazon. It is unclear how epistemic plurality and injustices will be addressed in the context of bioeconomy, with intellectual property rights and ownership being major concerns.

The Neglected Solutions: Local Farming Systems for Sustainable Development in the Amazon

Gabriel da Silva Medina et al.

Summary: The productive inclusion of local communities is a major challenge in achieving sustainable rural development in the Amazon. Despite their extensive coverage, existing development initiatives tend to prioritize projects with external production systems, overlooking local systems. This study examines local management systems developed by rural communities at the confluence of the Amazon and Xingu Rivers, focusing on buffalo ranching, logging, and fishing. The findings indicate that these systems, based on local knowledge and available technology, are present in a significant portion of riparian communities and require government support for improvement and consolidation. The study highlights the potential of local and traditional farming practices for sustainable development in the Amazon.

Forest governance in the Amazon: Favoring the emergence of local management systems

Gabriel da Silva Medina et al.

Summary: Through in-depth research of four communities in the Bolivian, Brazilian, and Peruvian Amazon, it was found that communities usually develop regulatory systems to restrict outside access to local valuable resources. When conflicts arise with external players, such as logging companies or commercial fishermen, communities organize to enforce their systems. By forming alliances with strong partners, like environmental organizations, communities can gain acknowledgment for their systems.

Climbing the Ladder: Inward Sourcing as an Upgrading Capability in Global Value Chains

William Chongyang Zhou et al.

Summary: This study proposes the concept of inward-sourcing capability, aiming to address the technical upgrade and avoidance of low value-added activities for emerging economy firms in global value chains. Through an investigation of Chinese manufacturing firms, the study finds that market-based institutions, openness to foreign multinational enterprises, and R&D intensity enhance inward-sourcing capability, while state ownership hinders it. Furthermore, the study also reveals that enhanced inward-sourcing capability expands Chinese firms' search breadth and strengthens their innovation capability and technical impact.

Massive soybean expansion in South America since 2000 and implications for conservation

Xiao-Peng Song et al.

Summary: Policies aiming to reduce climate change and biodiversity loss often target achieving zero deforestation in global supply chains of key commodities like palm oil and soybean. However, a study on soybean expansion in South America between 2000 and 2019 found that most of the expansion occurred on pastures originally converted for cattle production, particularly in the Brazilian Amazon. The fastest soybean expansion was observed in Brazil, with the majority of soy-driven deforestation concentrated in the Brazilian Cerrado region.
