A conceptual framework of living labs for people for sustainable food systems
Innovation spaces are often dominated by linear, top-down approaches, with the transfer of technology being seen as the solution to many problems rather than trying to understand which innovation processes people are engaging with themselves. In other words, barriers to progress are typically viewed as issues of technology adoption, not as part of the innovation process itself. This study contributes to changing the paradigm by proposing a living lab approach, which considers innovation as an adaptive process where stakeholders co-produce knowledge and collaborate based on inclusivity and empowerment. Our specific concept for this approach is called a Living Lab for People (LL4P). This conce...

Die sozial-ökologische Transformation der Welt
Umweltprobleme verändern seit Beginn der Industrialisierung, mit wachsender Beschleunigung seit den 1950er- Jahren, das Gefüge moderner Gesellschaften. Welche Dynamiken ergeben sich aus diesen Prozessen? Welche Chancen eröffnen sie für den radikalen Wandel fossiler in postfossile Gesellschaften, den die Klimaforscher vehement einfordern? Dieses von Sozialwissenschaftlern unterschiedlicher Disziplinen erstellte Handbuch bietet erstmals eine historisch und global orientierte Analyse des konfliktreichen Wegs der sozial-ökologischen Transformation. Es beleuchtet zentrale Transformationsfelder (Klima, Energiewende, Wirtschaft und Konsum, Stadtentwicklung und Landwirtschaft) und stellt Entwicklungen in westlichen Industrieländern, in Schwellenländern wie China, Indien und Brasilien sowie in armen, agrarisch geprägten Ländern wie Äthiopien vor.

Universities and the Sustainable Development Future
This study provides institutions of higher learning around the world with new and inclusive guidelines that can be applied contextually to produce credible evidence regarding the outcome and impact of their teaching, research, societal-outreach, governance, and partnering activities with regard to sustainable development. The 2015 International Year of Evaluation is behind us and post-2015 Sustainable-Development Goals are coming into play. Donors, the public, international organizations, and higher-education participants need to know if universities are advancing sustainable development. Although university involvement in sustainable-development research, teaching, and outreach has increase...
Projections, plans and projects
This work has its thematic focus on processes of organizational changes, which take place or are initiated connected to the notion of ‘development‘. On a cognitive level, it conceptualizea ‘development’ as ‘change in direction of a desirable future’, therefore the research is directed towards forward-looking imagination (projections) and attempts at its organizational realization (projects). Although this implies also a personal, autobiographical level, the focus is on the interaction of actors in organizations on several levels of inclusion and exclusion, i.e. individuals, communities, state administration, companies, NGOs, and INGOs. This interaction is observed both in passage...

Tropentag 2023 International Research on Food Security, Natural Resource Management and Rural Development
Tropentag is the largest interdisciplinary conference in Europe focusing on development- oriented research in the fields of tropical and subtropical agriculture, food security, natural resource management and rural development. It is clear that a just and sustainable transformation of our food systems is urgently needed: climate change, conflicts, rising food and fuel prices, and growing social and income inequalities are exacerbating the vulnerabilities of our food systems. The theme invites diverse contributions that explore different pathways for transforming food systems and the trade-offs and synergies involved, ranging from more technical solutions, such as climate-smart agriculture and biofortified crops, to more systematic solutions for changing the underlying relationships of our food systems, such as agroecology and alternative food networks.
