Tidskriftsartikel (populärvet., debatt m.m.)abstract
- Net zero emission pledges by countries and companies are everywhere at the moment. Most of these pledges rely on massive amounts of carbon removal, yet details on how this will transpire remain largely absent. The COP26 agreement suggests that markets will play a central role, but there are significant problems with this approach.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- In light of the global climate and biodiversity crisis, the role of agriculture is challenged. In Denmark, politicians aim to withdraw 100.000 hectares of low-lying organic soils from agricultural production, which paves the way for new nature management projects to address climate change and biodiversity decline. Thus, the green transition adds another layer of external requirements and regulations on what has in the literature been described as farmers’ freedom; a wish among farmers for more autonomy and freedom from external control and interference. Based on ethnographic fieldwork in Central Jutland, Denmark, this article explores how Danish farmers position themselves in the changing societal conditions of the green transition. With point of departure in the concept of (everyday) narratives we explore how farmers find meaning and navigate in the changing circumstances. We argue that farmers negotiate their place in the landscape in three ways: By positioning agriculture as an integral part of Danish nature; by disputing the scientific base of nature management projects and emphasising their own local knowledge; and by staging agriculture as a solution to climate and biodiversity challenges. In this way, the farmers’ everyday storytelling resonates and reproduces wider sectoral narratives of agricultural interest groups, and points to a continued wish for autonomy and freedom from external requirements and regulations. Furthermore, the article illustrates that farmers and public authorities have essentially different understandings of what nature is and how it can be promoted. This challenges collaborative nature management projects and illustrates the complexity of the negotiation of future landscapes.

Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- History is written by the powerful. Representations of the past are framed within the structures of the dominant institutions today, and other pasts – those of the enslaved, the marginalised, the disenfranchised – are often suppressed. Drawing of Eric Wolf’s Europe and the People Without History, this chapter explores how the fertile lands of the Cauca Valley, Colombia, have been transformed into a sugarcane monoculture landscape, and how a dominant narrative of a successful industry has been established and maintained. Based on a review of written historical material, oral histories and ethnographic fieldwork, it explores how conflicts and contestations, connections and collaborations have shaped the developments of the region, and how global forms of production have been met, resisted and adapted to locally. Drawing attention to the role of discourses and landscape interventions, the chapter illustrates how political and economic elites through history have appropriated land and labour through discourses of ‘empty land’ and ‘scarcity of labour’, as well as through landscape interventions and infrastructural developments. Meanwhile, subaltern groups have contested the changing economic and political conditions by escaping enslavement, forming independent settlements, organising labour strikes, and occupying lands to settle in the margins of the agro-industrial landscape. Though these contestations offer an alternative historical narrative of the region, the chapter points to a steady precariatization of the rural population, in which discourses and landscape interventions mask past dispossessions and legitimise the current relations of production.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Across the world, economic interests and state-making interventions have converged in dispossessing rural and urban dwellers. Drawing on literature on rural transformation, precarity, and life after dispossession, this paper explores how lifeworlds are constructed after dispossession. Based on ethnographic research in an Afro-descendant village in agro-industrial Colombia, I analyse five income-generating activities that together point to rural precarity, characterised by uncertain labour relations, fragile conditions of life, ecological dependence, and reconfigured rural relations. While villagers construct their lifeworlds around community, autonomy, and recognition, the constant search for income and reconfigured rural relations uphold and deepen inequalities in the agro-industrial margin.

Shifting sands : Legal dispossession of small-scale miners in an extractivist era
- 2020

Ingår i: Geoforum. - : Elsevier BV. - 0016-7185. ; 115, s. 81-89

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This article argues that the entanglements of a growing global demand for construction material and neoliberal resource governance result in an incremental and piecemeal form of dispossession. While mining in Colombia has been broadly researched, little has been said about sand extraction and the challenges small-scale artisanal miners face when trying to formalise their activities. This article seeks to fill this gap by following a group of areneros (manual sand extractors) who attempt to defend their right to sand extraction against a competing mining claim. Drawn into the domain of the state, the areneros navigate a changing institutional setup and a complex legislation that favours the wealthy, the lettered and the connected. Political-economic interests are masked behind procedures, symbols and legal-administrative means, which create a ‘state effect’ and result in a subtle form of legal dispossession. The article points towards a scalar model of dispossession, in which small-scale mining activities pass through ‘small-scale intermediaries’ to end up in the hands of private corporate actors with capital and technical expertise to conduct large-scale extraction. The article adds to the limited literature on sand extraction and challenges the view that the activity is merely conducted by criminal actors; yet, it argues that subsistence mining is under threat by government and corporate interests, positioning sand extraction as a new resource frontier. As small-scale miners find themselves in the conflict between two competing rights regimes and two competing production logics, they are doubly stretched between proletarianization and eviction, criminalisation and self-erosion.

Unsettled Rights : Afro-descendant recognition and ex-situ titling in Colombia
- 2022
-
Ingår i: Political Geography. - : Elsevier BV. - 0962-6298. ; 96
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Ethnic recognition and collective titling have since the second half of the 20th century been promoted as ways of compensating for historical injustices and countering the destructive effects of capitalist development. While holding promise of autonomy, territorial rights, and resource control, they have also been seen as political technologies governing, spatially tying identities to place, and incorporating new areas into capital market relations. This paper draws on and contributes to these debates by exploring how the Colombian legislation for Afro-descendants ethnic recognition and collective titling is understood, employed and ‘reworked’ from below as well as from above. Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork, interviews, and document analysis, the paper follows the case of an Afro-descendant sand-extracting community in the Cauca Valley Region, Colombia. Threatened by a competing mining claim, the villagers seek to gain ethnic recognition among other things to secure rights and control mining resources. In the process, the villagers are offered a land plot away from where they live and work to title as their collective territory; a mechanism that I term ‘ex-situ titling’. As the villagers have no prior relation to the land, nor intend to resettle there, I argue that the ex-situ land titling only serves as a procedural step in the process of ethnic recognition, which, nevertheless, contributes to the uncertainty and incertitude around the villagers' ethnic rights and resource control.

Ny jordreform i Danmark
- 2022
-
Annan publikation (populärvet., debatt m.m.)abstract
- Changing societal challenges and priorities call for new ways of managing agricultural land and for new forms of land ownership. The Danish pilot programme for multifunctional land consolidation (MUFJO) is seen as a frontrunner for a larger land reform. The programme ensures collective planning and long-term solutions, but cannot alone ensure the goals for re-wetting agricultural lands as stipulated in the Danish agricultural climate agreement, nor a more democratic land governance. It is time to deliver on the political ambition of a larger land reform in Denmark.

Net zero: Copenhagen’s failure to meet its 2025 target casts doubt on other major climate plans
- 2022
-
Ingår i: The Conversation. - 2201-5639.
-
Tidskriftsartikel (populärvet., debatt m.m.)abstract
- The city of Copenhagen, often celebrated as one of the world’s greenest for its cycling culture and other initiatives, recently defaulted on its pledge to become carbon-neutral by 2025. This early failure in the global race to net zero emissions (a balance between CO₂ emitted and absorbed) may foreshadow backtracking by other target-setters, indicating that pledges to cease contributing to climate change demand greater scrutiny.
