Jarvis, AndyRamírez Villegas, JuliánZapata, E.Guevara, Edward D.Läderach, Peter[The shifting geographic of crop suitability and the implications for food and nutritional security]The shifting geographic of crop suitability and the implications for food and nutritional security

Water storage is crucial for water security (WS) in countries with monsoon-driven climates. Tanks significantly contribute to WS by augmenting water supply to agricultural production in parts of south and Southeast Asia. The present paper assesses the potential locations of small tanks for rehabi...

We examine the geographic dimensions of food consumption in Ecuador, which has one of the highest rates of chronic infant undernutrition in Latin America. We use statistical and spatial analyses to examine the distribution of food consumption and food poverty and to test and generate hypotheses o...

The Amazon is the largest tropical forest area on Earth, and is undergoing rapid deforestation since the last four decades. These conversions are mostly located in frontier areas distributed along the so-called “arc of deforestation”. Within this large zone, various land use change processes are ...


Mertens, B.Piketty, M.G.Venturieri, A.Alves, D.Tourrand, Jean François[Contrasted land use and development trajectories in the Brazilian Amazon]Contrasted land use and development trajectories in the Brazilian Amazon

The department of Santa Cruz in Bolivia makes part of the Amazon basin, and it embraces a large portion of the Bolivian lowland forest, with most of its area covered by semideciduous forest. The agricultural development, and hence deforestation in Santa Cruz, does not follow any similar path of o...

This study in the wake of 1990s fire catastrophes identifies and analyzes underlying causes of vegetation fires in eight locations across Borneo and Sumatra. Multidisciplinary and multiscale analysis integrates geospatial technologies with varied social research approaches and participatory mappi...

Inclusion of local knowledge in decision-making is recognized as important for land use planning. However, this is prevented by communication constraints. Increasingly local communities throughout the world are using community mapping and simple Geographic Information Technologies (GIT) to commun...
