Socio-Ecological systems: Resilience, sustainability and system governance in the face of global change
A26_23R

From an interdisciplinary perspective, this group’s research activities focus on the analysis of interactions among social, ecological, and institutional components of agrifood systems.  ​

Our main goal is to find sustainable natural resource management mechanisms that help communities adapt to global change while maintaining social welfare and continuing to provide services associated with nature. ​

  • Resilience and Sustainability​

              - Evaluating and designing management strategies for agrifood systems.​

              - Using computational models to study climate change scenarios. ​

  • Governance​

              - Diversity and evolution in the face of global change.​

              - Assessing system resilience when confronting climate change.​

              - Successful configuration patterns in the face of climate change. 

What do we do?
  • Using integrated schemes and participative methodologies to analyze sustainability and resilience of agrifood systems associated with the use of natural resources.​
  • Analyzing governance of shared management of natural resources.​
  • Analyzing the evolution of agrifood systems and their potential for adaptation to various future scenarios within the framework of global change.​
  • Designing agro-environmental policies.​
  • Analyzing the behavior of agents that form part of socio-ecological systems.
