10:00 | Prof Philip Woodhouse, University of Manchester Philip Woodhouse is Professor of Environment and Development. His current research focuses on natural resource governance and its relationship to agrarian change, socio-economic and political change. “Farmers or rentiers? Sugar-cane ‘outgrowers’ in Mpumalanga, South Africa” Land reform in South Africa has introduced new relationships between African land ownership and commercial agriculture. In Mpumalanga, the sugar-cane industry illustrates how such changes affect different groups of African land users. In particular, it identifies new forms of competition for land and water between small- and large-scale agricultural producers.

11:00 | Prof Julie Trottier, CNRS Julie Trottier is a Director of Research at the CNRS. She directs the ANR funded project Of Lands and Waters since 2013 and the AFD funded project Governing the Paracommons of Palestinian Water since January 2017. Her research focuses on the interactions between the political construction of natural resource management and the construction of the scientific discourse concerning natural resources such as land and water. « Water driven Palestinian agricultural frontiers” Donor-led or foreign investor-led irrigation development systematically interacts with local, farmer-led, irrigation development. Water driven Palestinian agricultural pioneer fronts in the West Bank illustrate this. Within interstitial frontiers, investors enrol a globally maintained scientific discourse on efficient water use to secure donor funding while developing clientelist ties with the authorities to secure their new access to water. Neighbouring peasant run irrigated systems are their first casualties. |
