The document discusses participatory modeling work with artisanal fishers in Kenya and subsistence farmers in Cameroon to develop sustainable pathways out of poverty. Researchers from York University and the Stockholm Environment Institute are collaborating with fishing cooperatives in Kenya called beach management units and a farming community in Cameroon called Somie village. The goal is to better understand how governance, power, and knowledge structures influence environmental decision making and behaviors through participatory modeling projects like OxGAME in Cameroon.
OxGAME
- 1. Participatory modelling Work (in progress) with artisanal fishers and subsistence farmers with York University Centre for Complex Systems Analysis and the Stockholm Environment Institute
- 2. Artisanal fishers in Kenya Fishing cooperatives called beach management units:
- 3. Sustainable pathways from poverty "...the relationship between governance, power and knowledge structures and how these influence behaviour, actions and decision making for sustainable social-ecological ecosystems."
- 4. Subsistence farmers in Cameroon A grande-famille in the farmland that belongs to Somie village:
- 5. OxGAME project: participatory modelling in Cameroon Collecting data Making model Exploring model Discussing model
- 6. Somie model
- 7. OxGAME next steps Use the Behaviour Composer to open up design and development of the model to farmers, policy-makers and researchers in Cameroon Trial new NetLogo replay feature to support post-game analysis Improve game-play i.e. decisions/scenarios and better science with respect to relationship between farming/weather and the environment by working with agricultural experts in Yaounde.
