This paper presents a synthesis of the theoretical and methodological insights that the social sciences bring to land-change science, using the example of deforestation in the Brazilian Amazon. Social sciences were crucial in moving across scales – from regional to local – in incorporating rural smallholders in the land-change studies and in enhancing the discussion about the strategic role of farming families in forest conservation and food security.
