“…This strategy also outlines the role of consultation for stakeholder groups which is 'usually in the form of a Pest Risk Analysis published on the (Fera) 1 website', and an aspiration to develop a communication strategy with stakeholders. In the past, policy has too frequently been built on the needs of single sectors to the neglect of wider effects [74][75][76]. Similar limitations have been addressed in developing environmental policy through involvement of a greater range of expertise [36].…”

Plant diseases threaten both food security and the botanical diversity of natural ecosystems. Substantial research effort is focused on pathogen detection and control, with detailed risk management available for many plant diseases. Risk can be assessed using analytical techniques that account for disease pressure both spatially and temporally. We suggest that such technical assessments of disease risk may not provide an adequate guide to the strategies undertaken by growers and government to manage plant disease. Instead, risk-management strategies need to account more fully for intuitive and normative responses that act to balance conflicting interests between stakeholder organizations concerned with plant diseases within the managed and natural environments. Modes of effective engagement between policy makers and stakeholders are explored in the paper, together with an assessment of such engagement in two case studies of contemporary non-indigenous diseases in one food and in one non-food sector. Finally, a model is proposed for greater integration of stakeholders in policy decisions.

“…We support Condliffe's (2009: 87) conclusions that it is difficult to envisage the uplands delivering the desired ecosystem services without the 'land management and livestock husbandry skills of farmers and the culture of their communities'. The Iveragh hill farmers still see themselves as essentially farmers, for whom food production and livestock husbandry is a central part of their identity and profession (see also Morgan-Davies and Waterhouse, 2010;Nisbet et al, 2005;Wilson, 2001). The environmental, social and economic benefits of maintaining vibrant farming communities in the uplands cannot be overestimated (Robinson, 2008).…”

“…The future of hill farming is uncertain (cf. Morgan-Davies and Waterhouse, 2010;Soliva et al, 2008). Against all the odds, family run hill farms have proven to be resilient in the past, and they must remain vital upland stakeholders going forward.…”

“…This case study demonstrated how stakeholder involvement and the use of qualitative and quantitative data both improved management processes and fish stock assessments, when data are limited. Morgan-Davies and Waterhouse [20] relied on an adaptive joint analysis survey to assess stakeholders' preferences for policy priorities and their trade-offs for the management of the hill areas of Scotland.…”

Participatory approaches to water management, and specifically to transboundary river management, have been widely applied over recent decades. Regarding transboundary rivers, the active involvement of key actors in policy planning is of great importance. In this context, a participatory approach has been used to identify sectors of interest and priorities related to water and development in the Mékrou transboundary River Basin involving three countries: Benin, Burkina Faso and Niger. We conducted a web-based survey to quantify expert opinion on sectors of water management policy and priorities for the Mékrou River Basin. The same set of questions was then put to a sample of local stakeholders living in this river basin. Our analysis reveals some points of convergence and some discrepancies between the opinions of experts and local stakeholders. Overall, it provides a comparative analysis of how experts and local stakeholders prioritize water policy measures, which could influence decision-making.
