Ruptures in the agroecological transitions: institutional change and policy dismantling in Brazil

Paulo Niederle et al.

Summary: This article examines the dismantling strategies of Brazil's agroecological transition policies and analyzes their connection to the modification of the policy paradigm. The results suggest that the legitimacy of these strategies is closely linked to the shift in the policy paradigm.

Between institutional reform and building popular movements: The political articulation of agroecology in Brazil

L. van den Berg et al.

Summary: This article uses the theoretical lens of political articulation to study agroecological transformation in the agroecology movement in Brazil. The study shows that by mobilizing peasants' local demands through institutional and populist politics, the movement was able to gain policy support and pose a systemic challenge to authority. The article argues that the political viability of wider societal transformation lies in creating movements and organizations that politicize peasants and embrace local demands.

Epic narratives of the Green Revolution in Brazil, China, and India

Lidia Cabral et al.

Summary: The Green Revolution is seen as a symbol of scientific and technological progress in agriculture, which continues to shape agricultural practices today. Epic narratives in Brazil, China, and India glorify the period as a time of national imperative and unprecedented achievements. These narratives draw on the past to empower present actors in the field of agricultural science and technology.

Land grabbing on Brazil's Highway BR-319 as a spearhead for Amazonian deforestation

Lucas Ferrante et al.

Summary: Brazil is experiencing a critical environmental setback as large landholders gain access to government land in the Amazon, leading to increased deforestation and land grabbing. The construction of Highway BR-319 has facilitated this process, allowing for further illegal logging and invasion of public lands. The government's favoritism towards land grabbing activities poses a significant threat to the Amazon's biodiversity and climate-stabilization functions.

The effect of meso-institutions on adoption of sustainable agricultural technology: A case study of the Brazilian Low Carbon Agriculture Plan

Marcela de Mello Brandao Vinholis et al.

Summary: This article examines the role of meso-institutions in promoting the adoption of sustainable technologies by farmers and improving farms performance. The study shows that economic incentives, risk reduction, capacity building, and knowledge sharing provided by meso-institutions have significant impacts on farmers' decisions and farms performance.

Knowing like a global expert organization: Comparative insights from the IPCC and IPBES

Maud Borie et al.

Summary: This paper draws on a Science and Technology (STS) approach to offer a comparative analysis of the IPCC and IPBES, highlighting significant differences in their knowledge practices and discussing the implications for environmental governance. The study suggests that despite their aspirations of providing global perspectives, both organizations actually present situated knowledge shaped by politico-epistemic struggles and interests of powerful actors. The concept of institutional epistemology is proposed to aid in understanding how particular knowledge practices become established within international expert organizations and how this can enable more reflexive governance of global environmental change.

Carbon loss from forest degradation exceeds that from deforestation in the Brazilian Amazon

Yuanwei Qin et al.

Summary: Forest loss in the Brazilian Amazon was higher in 2019 than in 2015, potentially due to loosened forest protection policies. Despite this, the net AGB loss in 2019 was three times smaller than in 2015, with forest degradation contributing three times more to the total AGB loss than deforestation.

Sparing or sharing land? Views from agricultural scientists

Frederic Baudron et al.

Summary: Increased agricultural production is a major driver of the current biodiversity crisis, with 'land sparing' and 'land sharing' being advocated as contrasting approaches to address the issue. However, these approaches have been mainly driven by conservation ecologists and often overlook important issues related to farming.

Humility in the Anthropocene

Sheila Jasanoff

Summary: In the past 50 years, there has been a shift in humankind's ecological imagination towards thinking globally. Developments in earth and planetary sciences have challenged human exceptionalism and placed humans on equal footing with other systemic forces shaping the planet in the creation story. The impact of humans has been so significant that it has been recognized and named as the Anthropocene in geology, environmental history, and geopolitics.

Embrapa and the construction of scientific heritage in Brazilian agriculture: Sowing memory

Lidia Cabral

Summary: Embrapa's success story is centered around technological breakthroughs, motivated scientists, and a sense of mission towards Brazilian society. However, there are omissions in the official history regarding environmental and social impacts, indigenous access to the national seed bank, and the engagement with local expertise in research. Rooting Embrapa's brand in history may create a simplified narrative about Brazilian agriculture that neglects environmental sustainability, climate change, social fairness, and alternative ways of research.

Thresholds of resistance: agroecology, resilience and the agrarian question

Eric Holt-Gimenez et al.

Summary: A growing body of literature supports agroecology as a pathway to climate resilience, which is being adopted by development institutions. However, agroecology's agrarian limitations are often overlooked, leading to confusion in politically contested understandings of resilience. The claim of superior climate resilience in agroecology cannot be understood in isolation, as it is necessary to consider the socially unsustainable conditions of many smallholders, particularly women.
