Las zonas áridas cubren 40% de la superficie terrestre en donde habita el 40% de la población humana. Tras el desarrollo de las zonas áridas estas evolucionaron como sistemas socio-ecológicos (SSE) altamente vulnerables al cambio climático y a la desertificación. Para cumplir con los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible (ODS), se requieren nuevas formas de generar conocimiento útil. Una opción es la coproducción de marcos de acción basados en una gestión integral de los SSE, porque se tejen sistemas de conocimiento en alianzas con sectores clave. La Red Internacional para la Sostenibilidad de las Zonas Áridas (RISZA) aborda los grandes retos que emergen en las zonas áridas de manera transdisciplinaria. Nuestra finalidad es proteger la diversidad biótica y cultural como base esencial del desarrollo sostenible. Un modus operandi de RISZA son los Observatorios Participativos Socio-Ecológicos (OPSE), entendidos como laboratorios en un territorio real, donde se exploran de manera participativa las rutas de acción y se aplican metodologías participativas como “participatory rural appraisal”. El fin de los OPSE es desarrollar planes de acción para implementar innovaciones sociales y facilitar la cogestión de conocimiento de cada SSE. Los OPSE son sitios/espacios presenciales y virtuales donde se recopila, intercambia y cogenera nuevo conocimiento como un “hub” de innovación para el desarrollo sostenible en las zonas áridas.

Promotion of greater access to affordable choice of technologies and their prompt use for coconut productivity is necessary to sustainable development of coconut farming. The crux of the issue is; coconut growers who are aware and have the knowledge of the technologies, also seem to be reticent about adopting the package. The question therefore is; why does this happen? This research paper summons the identification of social and ecological elements that surround adoption of innovative technologies in improving coconut production and the kind of strategies for a best fit for a need-based programme of knowledge transfer, facilitating picking up a few technologies for possible adoption. A methodological prime-mover viz., Participatory Rural Appraisal, Planning and Action among coconut growers was used to walk the ‘reality-led’ and ‘technology-driven’ choices that are really acceptable and usable. Yet the farmers/neighbours appeared to be reluctant even to “talk” the “walk”. On the other hand, absence of dependable and sustainable model, lack of confidence, inadequate infrastructure and support systems, including sufficient and timely credit and constant exposure through IT seem to accelerate ‘vagaries’ on coconut for sustainable adoption. The need must, therefore be to polarize the two contrasting positions-appropriate tech-choice vs vagaries of adoption-by a suitable ‘model’ that would serve as a guide to coconut farmers.

Rural Appraisal

South Africa has hundreds of thousands of hectares of heavily populated and badly degraded landscapes. Past attempts at land management have been either through avoidance or the top-down imposition of “betterment” schemes. Participatory methods offer a new opportunity for communities living within these catchments to share their knowledge and to become involved in planning and implementing the management process. This paper discusses the use of Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA) in a catchment rehabilitation programme in rural KwaZulu/Natal, the lessons learnt and the prospects for wider application.
