Short Abstract:
Building the capacity of individuals and institutions increases food sovereignty and reduces food insecurity. Traditional approaches to agricultural development may be insufficient to meet future social and environmental conditions. This panel will focus on solutions for tomorrow.
Long Abstract:
This panel will focus on development processes in the areas of food and agriculture. Hunger and food insecurity impact millions, denying the innate human right of food sovereignty. Agricultural and food systems stressed by climate change, population growth, biodiversity loss, environmental degradation, economic challenges, migration, and other factors further complicate these problems. Building the capacity of individuals and institutions leads to more resilient food systems, which increases food sovereignty and reduces food insecurity. Traditional approaches to agricultural development may be insufficient to meet future social and environmental conditions.
This panel welcomes submissions focusing on agricultural development philosophy, theory, and practice. Potential questions include: How are agricultural development practices meeting the needs of marginalized populations? How do local knowledge systems inform praxis? How are the local ecology informing agricultural development efforts? How can agricultural development efforts be decolonized? Do current agricultural development institutions have the capacity for future needs? What models are most effective in building individual and community resilience? What role should actors from the Global North have in agricultural development efforts in the Global South? What will be the biggest challenges in agricultural development in the future? What have we learned from the COVID-19 pandemic that might inform future practices? What makes agricultural development efforts sustainable? How can sustainable agricultural development be achieved in politically and socially unstable contexts?
