Abstract

Agriculture is a contributing force to climate change due to unsustainable changes in land use with the usage of peatlands for food production in Finland. The use of organic soils in food production is a complex and politically driven issue, thus multistakeholder and participatory approaches to policy development, implementation and evaluation are essential. This study is integrating qualitative and quantitative methods in an iterative process to produce action-oriented knowledge for supporting actions to sustainably manage peatlands and reduce the enormous greenhouse gas emissions from agricultural peatlands. This study has engaged inter-disciplinary researchers and transdisciplinary actors in the Finnish food system via farmers, regional and ministry officials, food industry representatives along with education and research representatives to produce action-oriented knowledge for sustainability. The results indicate that actions are needed to develop a shared understanding between relevant actors and stakeholders in the food system to create activities and effective policy measures to remove peatlands from active production in Finland. Therefore, there is a necessity to identify and define incentives from both the public and private sectors to remove peatlands from food production, and thus reducing greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture. Interventions that account for local, regional, and national perspectives should be co-created among the inter-disciplinary researchers and transdisciplinary actors in the food system to generate transformative and system-wide change in the transition towards a low-carbon society.
芬兰农业有机土壤可持续管理的行动导向知识
由于芬兰将泥炭地用于粮食生产,土地利用发生了不可持续的变化,农业是气候变化的促成力量。在粮食生产中使用有机土壤是一个复杂的、政治驱动的问题,因此对政策制定、实施和评估采取多利益相关者和参与式方法至关重要。这项研究将定性和定量方法整合到一个迭代过程中,以产生面向行动的知识,以支持可持续管理泥炭地和减少农业泥炭地巨大温室气体排放的行动。这项研究通过农民、地区和部委官员、食品行业代表以及教育和研究代表,让芬兰食品系统中的跨学科研究人员和跨学科参与者参与进来,为可持续发展提供以行动为导向的知识。结果表明,需要采取行动,在粮食系统的相关行为者和利益相关者之间建立共同的理解,以制定活动和有效的政策措施,使芬兰的泥炭地从活跃的生产中消失。因此,有必要确定和确定公共和私营部门的激励措施,以消除粮食生产中的泥炭地,从而减少农业的温室气体排放。考虑到地方、区域和国家视角的干预措施应该在粮食系统中的跨学科研究人员和跨学科行为者之间共同创造,以在向低碳社会过渡的过程中产生变革性和全系统的变化。

期刊介绍: Agricultural and Food Science (AFSci) publishes original research reports on agriculture and food research related to primary production and which have a northern dimension. The fields within the scope of the journal include agricultural economics, agricultural engineering, animal science, environmental science, horticulture, plant and soil science and primary production-related food science. Papers covering both basic and applied research are welcome. AFSci is published by the Scientific Agricultural Society of Finland. AFSci, former The Journal of the Scientific Agricultural Society of Finland, has been published regularly since 1928. Alongside the printed version, online publishing began in 2000. Since the year 2010 Agricultural and Food Science has only been available online as an Open Access journal, provided to the user free of charge. Full texts are available online from 1945 on.
