Title<\/strong>: Global Value Chain: an analytic tool for Natural Resource Management<\/p>\n

Presenter<\/strong>: Professor Jun HE, School of Ethnology and Sociology, Yunnan
\nUniversity, China, CSEAS Visiting Research Scholar (Jun. \u2013 Aug. 2019)<\/p>\n

Moderator<\/strong>: Yasuyuki Kono, CSEAS, Kyoto University<\/p>\n

Abstract<\/strong>:
\nAlong with globalization, the farmers live in remote mountainous area
\nhad been involved into the global market through commercialization of
\ntheir agricultural products. While the international market brings new
\nopportunities for cash income to those farmers, there is also potential
\nimpacts on sustainability. Resource overexploitation, uneven
\nbenefit-sharing as well as market control is the very question required
\nfurther investigation. As such, a new method, namely Global Value Chain,
\nwas developed to understand the flow of a particular product from
\nharvesters to the end users. It helps to reveal the complexity of actors
\ninvolved, institution regulated the chain and benefit distribution in
\nthe value chain. Clearly, a value chain is not organized only by legal
\nmechanism, there are a wide range of extra-legal mechanism determine how
\nthe chain is formed, who can involve in the chain and who get most benefit.<\/p>\n

This presentation is aimed to introduce this analytical tool of Global
\nValue Chain by three concrete examples: 1) Matsutake mushroom value
\nchain from China to Japan, 2) timber trade in China, and 3) cross-border
\nmedical plant trade from Nepal to China. I use those three case-study as
\nillustrators to show the application of Global Value Chain in the
\nresearch of natural resource management. The research shows the
\ncomplicated social, economic, policy as well as cultural factors
\naffected the organization of, actors\u2019 access to and benefit distribution
\nin the value chain among different products. It also argued those
\nfactors is nexus like a network rather than a linear pattern that affect
\nthe value chain. Finally, the research identified who reaped the most
\nbenefit in the value chain at different level and why they benefit most.<\/p>\n

The presentation calls for an attention of methodology development to
\nunderstand globalization in mountainous region. That require an
\ninterdisciplinary research and holistic understanding to examine the
\nmountain complexity.<\/p>\n

About the Speaker<\/strong>:
\nJun He is professor in Human Ecology at School of Ethnology and
\nSociology, Yunnan University. His expertise is in rural development from
\nperspectives of resource governance. With this interdisciplinary
\napproach, his recent research fields are consisted of three empirical
\nstudy aspects that has been applied in the wide geographical locations
\nwhich including North Korea, China and Southeast Asian. That includes:
\n1) Indigenous knowledge and Agroforestry Ecology with focus on
\nparticipatory agroforestry development and domestication,
\ncrop-soil-water interaction etc.; 2) Forest Governance with focus on
\ndecentralization, forest tenure reform, customary institutions etc.; 3)
\nRural Market Access and Structure with focus on commodity chain\/value
\nchain analysis. Jun He published widely in international peer-reviewed
\njournal including Land Use Policy, World Development, Forest Policy and
\nEconomics, Human Ecology, International Forestry Review, Society and
\nNatural Resources among the others. Prof. He currently also serve as
\nAssociate Editor in Society and Natural Resources, and as gust editor
\nedited a special issue in Journal Ethnopharmacology<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
