SUMMARY:Webinar : Transforming human activity systems: towards an 
 agriculture for improving human-biosphere relations
NAME:Webinar : Transforming human activity systems: towards an agriculture
 for improving human-biosphere relations
DESCRIPTION:Join the first ELLS SA SYSTEM Webinar : Transforming human 
 activity systems: towards an agriculture for improving human-biosphere 
 relations\nDuring this webinar hosted by SLU Global and ELLS, Professor 
 Emeritus Ray Ison will talk about how we can transform human activity 
 systems towards a more improved human-biosphere agriculture.\n📍 Online 
 webinar | 🗓 17 March, 2026 (10.00 to 11.30 am (CET)).\n\nParticipation 
 is free of charge but you need to register with the link 
 below.\nhttps://www.slu.se/en/calendar/2026/03/ray-ison/ 
 (https://www.slu.se/en/calendar/2026/03/ray-ison/)\n\n\nWebinar 
 abstract\n\n\nResearch is a practice that can be systematic, systemic or 
 both. Systematic practice is essentially linear and associated with simple
 cause and effect.  In contrast systemic practice is relational and 
 encompasses feedback dynamics; it is thus circular, recursive and adapted 
 to context. These two concepts (systemic/systematic) can be understood as 
 a self-negating, either/or, pair (a dualism) or as modes of praxis that 
 can form a unity, a whole, by epistemologically responsible practitioners 
 (i.e., a duality). Claims for research practice are that it can provide 
 new understandings and (situated?) improvements, though all too often this
 is expressed as the production of ‘new knowledge’ in a simplistic 
 manifestation of the linear model of knowledge production, rather than 
 embodied enactment of knowing.  Drawing on his own agricultural education,
 his research and ‘teaching’ practice and his turn to Systems 
 scholarship: social learning; systemic co-inquiry; systemic governance and
 the design of learning systems, Ray will explore the constraints to 
 effective situational improvement that have come through the 
 institutionalisation of the linear model of knowledge production, 
 scholarship which began with the publication of:\nRussell, D.B., Ison, 
 R.L., Gamble, D.R. & Williams, R.K. (1989) A Critical Review of Rural 
 Extension Theory and Practice. Australian Wool Corporation/ University of 
 Western Sydney (Hawkesbury).  67pp.\nHe will finish with some personal 
 reflections on a 55 year ‘career’ within (or near) the domain of 
 agriculture (understood as one of the main domains in which 
 human-biosphere relations are manifest through the enactment of ‘human 
 activity systems’ that can be the product of systemic (co)design).

 territorial approach to agroecological transition and its assessment using
 the MAELIA platform.\n\n📊 By the end of the training, participants will
 be able to identify relevant datasets, modify input data to build 
 scenarios, compare scenarios, interpret platform outputs, and assess 
 relevant action levers at the territorial scale.\n\n🌍Curretly delivered
 in French and in-person (Colmar, FRANCE), MAELAB is actively considering 
 the development of English-language versions adapted to other regional and
 institutional contexts. They are also open to engaging in international 
 collaborations to further scale up this type of capacity-building
