DESCRIPTION:Native forests should outcompete plantations\, cattle ranching
  and mining\, say proponents of the bioeconomy in the Brazilian Amazon. Th
 ey envision a future of winners and losers\, in which the political ecolog
 ies of deforestation give way to indigenous knowledge\, agroforestry and s
 cience. They want to stop\, prevent and reverse the ongoing deforestation\
 ; they want forest dwellers to do well\, forests to keep standing. But who
  are they? In this session\, I will share some of the visions\, proposals\
 , expectations and fears that my fieldwork interlocutors shared with me as
  I tried to understand what the “standing-forest bioeconomy” is\, and 
 how Amazonian scientists\, indigenous activists\, rural producers\, studen
 ts and entrepreneurs become enrolled in its making.
