“…Monitoring is of paramount importance to identify and assess alterations in economic, social, and environmental dimensions [73]. Monitoring allows for the evaluation and addressing of the effectiveness of proposed systems and environmental and management policies [74]. The selection of monitoring indicators [75] should involve a range of stakeholders and/or experts to ensure that heterogeneous views and knowledge contribute to the internal dynamics of specific sectors [76].…”

The Knowledge Based Agricultural Bioeconomy: A Bibliometric Network Analysis

The last ten years have witnessed an increase in publications focusing on bioeconomy as a proposal to confront the global challenges of climate change, depletion of non-renewable resources and ecosystem degradation. This paper investigates the scientific literature on issues related agricultural bioeconomy by applying a bibliometric network analysis. Bibliometric analysis is applied to the publications of the Scopus database during the period 2010–2020 in order to provide an overview of the main aspects that characterize agricultural bioeconomy. The results showed that out of a total of 1100 scientific papers, only 2.45% were published in 2010, while the corresponding share in 2020 was 20.81%. In the five years of 2016–2020, cumulatively, 70.63% of the publications were made, showing the dynamic evolution of bioeconomy. In addition, out of 85 countries in total, Germany and Italy are the two countries with most publications, while the fragmentation of research is evident with the creation of two main nodes, the European and the American. Moreover, keyword analysis showed that biomass and sustainability are two main recurring concepts, confirming that, currently, bioeconomy operates at three different levels: energy demand, land demand, and governance. It is apparent that to boost the development of agricultural bioeconomy, the following aspects should be assessed: the effective use of resources, an understanding of the key drivers of agricultural bioeconomy, and a clear perception of their associations. There is still no consensus as to which are the key factors that will accelerate its sustainable development. Our pursuit is to use the tools of bibliometric analysis to reach more critical conclusions regarding the agricultural bioeconomy, rather than approach it in a static way.

“…Provided training and support are available, such approaches are well suited to community engagement (Danielsen et al 2011). Simplified methodologies not only streamlines monitoring, making it more coft-effective, but improves the accessibility of community engagement with the project, increasing equity and perceived legitimacy (Wells et al 2017). Where there is the institutional support to identify relevant sites, provide training and ensure data analysis and reporting, activities for reversing mangrove forest removal and degradation or facilitating restoration provide a good opportunity for community engagement and one in which technical challenges are not the main barrier.…”

Blue Carbon Ecosystems (BCEs) help mitigate and adapt to climate change but their integration into policy, such as Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs), remains underdeveloped. Most BCE conservation requires community engagement, hence community-scale projects must be nested within the implementation of NDCs without compromising livelihoods or social justice. Thirty-three experts, drawn from academia, project development and policy, each developed ten key questions for consideration on how to achieve this. These questions were distilled into ten themes, ranked in order of importance, giving three broad categories of people, policy & finance, and science & technology. Critical considerations for success include the need for genuine participation by communities, inclusive project governance, integration of local work into national policies and practices, sustaining livelihoods and income (for example through the voluntary carbon market and/or national Payment for Ecosystem Services and other types of financial compensation schemes) and simplification of carbon accounting and verification methodologies to lower barriers to entry.

“…5 For a discussion of the involvement of local communities in monitoring processes, (see Wells et al, 2017). 6 The limited role of participatory processes to achieve justice in decision-making resonates beyond the conservation realm: development scholars (Cooke & Kothari, 2001;Gaventa & Cornwall, 2006), planners (Brownill & Inch, 2019) and anthropologists (Boccara & Bolados, 2008) have documented for the past two decades how participation, far from enhancing democratic decision-making, reproduces instead existing power inequalities.…”
