Competition
over land and natural resources is increasingly overstretching the
multi-functionality of landscapes, whether it is at local or at global level.
With the ambition as enshrined in numerous international conventions and
national polices alike to reconcile agricultural development and the wise use
of our natural resources, this places enormous pressure on resource managers to
broker development outcomes that suit both agendas. It implies rethinking
current natural resources management paradigms and applying new analytical
frameworks to better
understand conflicts, the
driving forces behind them and the design of process approaches to manage them.
