Landscapes across many developing countries are experiencing rapid changes mostly due to increasing demand for food and other natural resources, exacerbated by drivers such as climate change. Over time, these frontier landscapes often give rise to “novel societies” with a diversity of actors that have different productive strategies, cultural and migration histories, and access to capital, technology and markets.
On December 7, 2014, as part of the Global Landscapes Forum, SIANI and EcoAdapt hosted a dialogue session on opportunities to foster sustainaility in dynamic multistakeholder landscapes, focusing on success stories.
This brief gathers insights of the event participants about the conditions and changes needed to ensure legitimate and effective sustainability strategies in the frontier landscapes.
