Operationalizing transdisciplinary agroecology of the co-creation of food sovereignty

Abstract

the general objective of this dissertation is to understand how in future research designs transdisciplinary agroecology can be organized to achieve food sovereignty. To fulfil this objective, three consecutive research questions were identified: 1) How can a collaborative research team be built for society-driven transdisciplinary agroecology research, 2) What are the main socioecological factors that impact the transmission of traditional ecological knowledge within and across generations, and 3) How are power relations influenced by people ́s interests, socio-political structures, and knowledge in the process of co-creation of food sovereignty.
