Invitation

Abstract:Agricultural expansion remains the most important proximate cause of tropical deforestation, while interactions between socio-economic, technological and institutional factors represent the fundamental drivers. First, I will analyse the process of agricultural expansion across eleven Latin American countries over the period 1990–2010 to assess whether, in a context of agricultural intensification, different land tenure regimes impact differently on the realization of land-sparing or Jevons paradox. Subsequently, I will explore a number of open research questions realted to the issue of indigenous peoples rights to land and territory and deforestation in the context of the North Chaco in Western Argentina. The questions stem from a research project recently awarded with an ERC Consolidator Grant.
