Current research projects
Assessing the potential socio-economic opportunities and challenges of Bio-char adoption on small-holder farming systems. The main objective of this project is to map and assess the potential socio-economic impacts that a wider production and use of biochar might have in three regions in Kenya. The project involves a team of researcher from SLU Uppsala, Lund University and ITTA in Kenya and it is funded by SIDA.
Socio-spatial transformations in the area of Korup National Park in Cameroon. The purpose of this project is to assess the dependence of local people on ecosystem services obtained from tropical forests, and the sustainability of different kinds of resource extraction. The project uses a multidisciplinary approach to investigate the conflicting interests and uses of resources, in order to identify possible solutions that would be beneficial to both local people and tropical forest conservation. The study combines remote sensing, ecological field studies, surveys and interviews with households and local people. The project is a collaboration between the department of Human Geography and the Department of Biology at Lund University.
