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.
