Research and Training Program in Andean Agroecological Systems
Scholarships – Research and Training Program in Andean Agroecological Systems
The Collaborative Crop Research Program (CCRP) of the McKnight Foundation and the Latin American Council of Social Sciences (CLACSO) invite advanced master's or doctoral students conducting their theses on Andean agroecological systems in Bolivia, Ecuador, and Peru, at sites located above 2500 meters above sea level, to participate in this call for applications. The purpose of this call is to support research (fieldwork) and training in agroecology studies.
The proposals submitted are expected to address some of these dimensions of agroecology:
- EnvironmentalExplicit recognition of the climatic, biophysical and ecosystemic characteristics and the way in which they influence (and are influenced by) Andean agricultural systems.
- Socio-culturalAnalysis of the ways in which different cultural aspects of small farmers interact with Andean agriculture, considering at least the family and community levels.
- Socio-economicUnderstanding the interrelationships of Andean agroecological systems with both the socio-demographic characteristics of families and communities and with the different combinations of subsistence and market economy that households have.
- Socio-politicalUnderstanding the different forms of social organization that small farmers have, as well as the institutions (i.e., norms) for the governance, use and control of resources.
