sOcioLock-in - Understanding the undesirable resilience in socio-ecological systems driving biodiversity loss

First meeting: 05.-08.02.2018

PIs:
Tom Oliver

iDiv member:
Josef Settele
Volker Grimm

Project summary:
Intensive food production systems are rapidly expanding around the globe and driving a loss of biodiversity. Despite efforts to address the negative impacts of these systems and transition them to more sustainable states, they appear highly resistant. This working group will take an interdisciplinary systems perspective to identify mechanisms that ‘lock-in’ food systems to states which drive biodiversity declines. We will uncover combinations of solutions that are more likely to be successful in ‘tipping’ systems to more sustainable states.
