Climate-smart agriculture in practice: insights from smallholder farmers, Timor-Leste and the Philippines, Southeast Asia

“…Within the adaptation discourse, political ecology factors like inequality, power and social injustice have been used commonly as separate social categories to examine localised political ecology ideologies using empirical case studies (Adger et al 2013;Alston 2015;Eriksen et al 2015). In contrast, in the mitigation (and climate finance) discourse, the debates on inequality, power relations and social injustice have been framed at the global level, focusing on policy principles such as market mechanisms, polluter payers and differential equity (Olawuyi 2016). …”

The relevance of political ecology perspectives for smallholder Climate-Smart Agriculture: a review

“…In contrast, in the mitigation (and climate finance) discourse, the debates on inequality, power relations and social injustice have been framed at the global level, focusing on policy principles such as market mechanisms, polluter payers and differential equity (Olawuyi 2016). Both strands of climate change discourses emphasize that for the most vulnerable communities, the relationship between the three factors are diverse, complex and multi-scaled.…”

“…The IPCC (2014) affirms that climate change will exacerbate impacts on the welfare of poor smallholder farmers and socially disadvantaged groups in developing countries. Recognizing the unique vulnerabilities of specific groups, many scholars and social advocates have pointed out cases of social injustice, particularly human rights violations induced by climate change and disasters (Finley-Brook and Thomas 2011;Olawuyi 2016). Many of the arguments relating to social injustice draw on alternative political ecology research grounded in neo-Marxist and post-Marxist theories of the late 1980s (see Parks and Roberts 2010).…”

“…Indigenous agencies have advocated for stronger climate action (Vlassova 2006). In parallel, development agencies such as the World Bank, UN and other donors have established policies to stimulate provision of climate finance to indigenous people (Olawuyi 2016). Not all the initiatives are linked to agricultural societies, since farming is not part of the culture of all indigenous peoples.…”

“…National climate change and agriculture policies target indigenous populations in research, as leaders of community action plans, or as beneficiaries of projects. Climate change interventions are failing to meet minimum national or international safeguard standards (Arhin 2014;Olawuyi 2016). There have been land acquisitions by governments and companies, physical violence and greater livelihood insecurities.…”
