Exploring the implementation of participatory, multistakeholder,
and transdisciplinary ecosystem health research, Integrated
Assessment of Health and Sustainability of Agroecosystems combines
the latest theories in complexity and management with practical
tools and approaches for sustainable rural development research.
Although the text focuses on smallholder farming communities in the
central highlands of Kenya, the material discussed can be-and has
been-effectively applied to agroecosystems in many other parts of
the world.
After showing how the agroecosystem health framework was
successfully adapted in a smallholder-dominated agroecosystem, the
book integrates participatory methods, systems analyses, pulse
process models, and soft systems methods in an open-ended, adaptive
R&D process. It then looks at how to use correspondence
analysis to refine a research-based suite of indicators and analyze
data obtained using indicators.
Incorporating the authors' pioneering work in the ecosystem
health field, this book demonstrates the potential of the
agroecosystem health paradigm as a framework in the decision-making
processes of agricultural communities in a tropical highlands
area.
