Presentation Transcript

  1. Constructing biological economies as a category • Biological economies – supply chains, globalised and commodified countryside or a combination of both? • At the centre of biological economies are people interacting in multiple networked places working in harmony or discordantly to make a living from 'natural' settings, processes & products. • These incorporate agri-, horti-, viti-culture, forestry, fishing, tourism/outdoor recreation, nature conservation, rural amenity migration etc, all that they create and influence, and all the social interactions with which they are associated.

  2. Constructing biological economies as a category (2) • This approach encourages thinking about the production of biological economic-geographic knowledge as being conditioned primarily by concerns for: the creation of wealth/profit, collective enterprise, power and conflicting interests, climate, water, nature conservation, landscape, heritage, food, fibre, energy, employment, recreation & related local/global social & environmental interactions & change. • Methodologically this demands studies at a multitude of interconnected scales using a variety of quantitative, and interpretative (qualitative/ethnographic/historical) approaches – primary and secondary data sources.
