Circularity, tradeoffs and synergies in linking bioeconomic and agroecological approaches to food security and climate change mitigation in forest frontier landscapes of Colombia
Objectives
The overall objective of this thesis project is to analyze thecompromises and synergies associated with increasing circularity at different scales (from crops to farms to landscape/community) and to assess its capacity to increase robustness during the transition to a local agroecology-based bioeconomy (AEBE), focusing on case studies in the Amazon rainforest frontier and Paramo Highlands ecosystems.
