1. Transformation
Major difficulties with development conceptualisation, policy and practice
conceptualisation of the multi-scale, multi-dimensional dynamics of structural change
aspiration, process and project – multiple (conflated?) dimensions
need for coordinated change
different scales of analysis,
range of complementary activities, services, demand & supply,
capital development – across technical, institutional, human, physical, and natural capital and processes
Development
Process of survival, growth and change of the ‘livelisystems’ both of actors and of the emergent systems in which they are embedded.
Actors & systems obtain provisioning, regulatory and supportive services from different forms of capital which they both accumulate & deplete.
Dynamic and multi-scale interactions,
Wide range of structural transformations and transformation processes,
Technical and institutional innovation.
Transformation critically important for agriculture & all FAC themes – but little policy recognition / attention - ?discourses?
