Satoyama: Socio-ecological Production Landscapes for Human Development
In 2005, the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment (MA) found that 60% of the 23 ecosystem services it accessed were in decline. The decline in these services is expected to be a barrier for many countries in improving the well-being of their people and especially so for developing countries in achieving their Millennium Development Goals (MDG). The present sectoral approach used for natural resource management will fall short in reversing the decline in ecosystem services. More holistic approaches which embrace the inter-dependency of ecosystem services and well functioning ecosystems will be necessary. The notion of trade-offs, synergies and thresholds will have to be integral parts of the new management approach to ecosystem services. A broader notion of human well-being that goes beyond just material wealth but also includes human security, health, good social relation and last but not least the freedom to make choices is necessary. This calls for a management approach that does not look at the natural system purely as a source to be exploited for human needs but as a coupled socio-ecological production system. The concept of Satoyama may offer such a system for countries especially developing countries to meet their human development goals in a sustainable manner.
