This project asks how the rural Bosnian community is adapting agrarian management traditions to support foodways and montane biodiversity as it rebuilds from the 1990s war, adjusts to high unemployment, and grapples with climate change. These pressures, along with unpredictable weather and volatile markets, encourage a patchwork of strategies that sustain biodiversity, cultural identity, and food security amidst social and ecological uncertainty. In a mountainous region where food security depends on small-scale agricultural production, natural resource collection, and heirloom plant and animal species, Bosnians must now adapt to a changing climate that pulls species up in elevation and depressed economic opportunity that pushes the next generation of land managers abroad to find work. Without local stewardship, such culturally-supported biodiversity has been shown to collapse. We propose to collect ethnographic, ethnobotanical, and spatial data to investigate how and to what extent Bosnian agrarian practices and natural resource management maintain biodiversity across this landscape. These data will center the socio-ecological contributions of this European multiethnic community in local conservation and food security. This project is funded by Purdue University.
