Greening the tea? Ecolabelling, anticlimax, and the remaking of conservation people in Uganda
REFNo: SS5586ES
Objectives:
Main Objective
1. This study interrogates whether and how local tea producers advance beyond the failure of ecolabelling, to adapt its elements into locally-defined environmental ideals that transform tea production and conservation in the KNP landscape.
Specific Objectives
1. In what ways do conservation and political-economic processes intersect to produce conditions befitting the introduction of ecolabelling around KNP?
2. How does the nesting of ecolabel discourses with KNP’s contextual discourses produce anticlimax?
3. What rationalities do tea producers draw on to navigate the anticlimax of ecolabelling and does this remake them into new conservation people?
4. In what ways do these alternative rationalities support the transition to more transformative conservation?
