Past social-ecological drivers
•Human and livestock population size
•Human and livestock movement
•Habitat change
•Homogenisation of land use and livestock varieties
•Coevolution of livestock and parasites
•…but there is potential to control the disease through good governance

Discussion!
Changing Agricultural Landscape in Bali
Anders Diseberg
Daniel Ospina
Problem at hand
• Preservation of traditional Balinese culture ?
?
• When is change a problem?
• Land-use change (tourism and urbanisation), and a trend to non-agricultural activities.
Loss of rice production
Cultural homogenisation
Main internal stress:
• Reduced soil fertility
o Subak meetings are arenas to discuss such issues, but...
o 'threshold misfit'?
Local dynamics are increasingly defined by external factors:
o Fluctuating markets
o Tourism industry
o Cultural diffusion of Western values
‘Spatial misfit’ in relation to Subak?
Lack of institutions dealing with these stresses?
Protect cultural values
Ensure viable rice farming
Taking multiple issues into account (eg. tourism, agriculture, infrastructure)
World Heritage Cultural Landscape
• The committee working on this acts as a bridging organisation
Management Plan
• Recognition of customary organisations and institutions:
polycentric system
diversity of institutions
Other actors involved: NGOs? Public-Private partnership?
Thanks!
