[Editors’ introduction]
Working towards sustainable agriculture often involves working on contested or controversial
issues with others. They involve a complex mix of people, all with their own opinions
and ways of seeing the world, such as civil society organisations, policy makers and
companies. All the agri-environmental projects (those concerned with the environment
but carried out in agricultural contexts) discussed in this chapter involve controversial
issues, such as the introduction and development of GM crops, the potential power
of large biotechnology companies, the increased use of biofuels, water and intensification
of agriculture. As with the next chapter (Chapter 4), this chapter discusses the use
and value of mapping techniques in these highly contested environmental research contexts.
However, unlike Chapter 4 the projects drawn on here were all large scale, multi-partner,
European projects. The processes and mapping techniques were chosen for specific purposes,
according to the needs of the different projects, the context and type of participants
involved and their strategic aims. They also represent the development of the authors
approaches to engaging with people and demonstrate the way that the this approach
has changed over time as they have sought ways to enable participants to engage in
the research process more fully. Thus while the final project discussed in this chapter
is less about mapping, it is included because its unusual funding arrangements enabled
a different mode of research participation that provided useful insights for the more
action-oriented research we advocate in this book. |
