纵向维度:本地生态与垂直经济

ALTITUDES: LOCAL ECOLOGIES AND VERTICAL ECONOMIES

"塞尔瓦中央林区"是秘鲁境内一个由高海拔森林构成的乡村地区,当地经济主要依赖咖啡生产。单一种植对该地区的影响包括由仰赖单一商品造成的经济脆弱这样的显性影响,以及当地社区多元文化与传统丧失这样的隐性影响。在该地区咖啡远销全球的同时,当地农业模式正因气候变化发生着转变。除了介绍"纵向维度"方案的具体策略,本文亦探讨了如何对气候变化进行可视化呈现、反思供应链现状,以及对作为垂直经济的在地景观进行解读等多元尝试,在突破咖啡单一种植模式的同时,力求为建立可(部分)自给自足的新社区创造条件。

"Selva Central" is a rural area of Peru defined by high-altitude forest, whose economy is largely dependent on the coffee production. The effects of monoculture are both tangible and intangible, ranging from a weak single-commodity economy to the loss of the multifaceted cultural expertise and traditions of local communities. The area, in fact, produces coffee for global exportation, while is suffering shifting local agricultural patterns due to climate change. This article argues while unfolding "Altitudes" strategic project, how visualizing climate change, rethinking the supplychain, and understanding the local landscape as a vertical economy can highlight opportunities of moving beyond the monoculture of coffee, creating the conditions for newly(partially) self-sufficient local communities.
