Hunting has a bad reputation and is rarely considered in forest governance and conservation strategies. But what if, instead, we tried to learn from it? Blog post by researcher Torsten Krause. In his blog post for The Revelator, Torsten Krause argues that subsistence hunting, and the traditional ecological knowledge that guides and regulates it, must be recognised as a key forest-management strate

How do we manage and cope with the change that the climate requires?

Wim Carton discusses why tree planting is not a panacea for the climate. According to him, too many studies and stakeholders fail to see that the method is inherently fraught and can take away focus from the need to drastically reduce emissions to meet our climate targets. "Tree planting is seen as an easy method that can be scaled up. But that is not the case. There are many probems with the meth

Throughout Future Week at Lund University, we got a chance to look into the Future. During a range of events, researchers and students across Lund University discussed different issues on the theme 'Transitions'. What are the transitions we have to make? What are the ones we want to make? And which transitions do we preferably want to avoid? Several LUCSUS researchers participated in the week, sha

It is not easy to make ends meet for many smallholder farmers in sub-Saharan Africa. Everyday life is a complex management of many activities, especially for women, such as providing, preparing and cooking food; provide water and energy for cooking; manage farm activities; rearing children; and not least ensure that the family is healthy. Ill-health can easily tip families into abject poverty. Imp

International sustainability policies set out clear goals for protecting ecosystems and biodiversity, but how to actually achieve these goals remains elusive in practice, as biodiversity loss continues at an alarming rate. A new study published in the journal Nature Sustainability by an international team of 32 scientists identifies key knowledge gaps that need to be answered to tackle the root ca

Four LUCSUS researchers argue in an article in the journal Nature, Ecology & Evolution that the most important, powerful and unique contribution science can make to social movements is to share arduously accumulated knowledge about processes of social and political change.  – We wrote this article because we saw a debate emerge around how researchers can and should contribute to stop climate chang

Few research publications reach outside the realm of academia and even fewer make an impact on sustainability debates and societal issues. Kimberly Nicholas’ research on lifestyle choices to reduce your carbon footprint is unique in its reach and impact on society. Her research started with a question, asked by friends and students: what can I do for the climate that really makes a difference? Kim

Agroforestry combines agricultural and silvicultural practices to produce food, wood, and other products. Agroforestry systems have been increasingly promoted as land-use systems that can support nature conservation, especially in the tropics, where it has also been gaining recognition as a tool for reducing poverty, improving food self-sufficiency for farmers, and increasing the productivity and
