Project 4: Tackling crises in the countryside: an integrative approach to Regenerative Agriculture, Circular Agri-food systems and Convivial Conservation
Food, farming, and conservation face major, interrelated challenges in the countryside, yet are treated as largely independent in research and policy.
This postdoc will explore regenerative agriculture and convivial conservation as two paradigms that aim to address these challenges. The key questions are: (1) how can the two paradigms be integrated into a holistic approach, and (2) how can this integrative approach help sustain biodiversity, livelihoods, social equity?
Next to developing an integrated approach and assessing the impacts of its application at different integrative levels, the postdoc is expected to disseminate findings and develop an acquisition portfolio.

* PhD in Sociology, Geography, Anthropology or Political Ecology
* Position for 3 years
