Mountain Farming in the Making: Approaches to Alpine Rural Agro-food Challenges in Trentino
The current paper belongs to a set of ongoing multi-scalar and trans-disciplinary research studies investigating potential approaches for regenerating rural areas in the Alpine areas of Italy, which have been suffering for years from underused phenomena (Balducci, 2019; Gretter et al., 2018a).The paper focuses mainly on the territory of the Autonomous Province of Trento to investigate how farmers face the current challenges in different ways whil…

Aprire il dibattito sui commons rurali di montagna nelle regioni alpine in cambiamento. Uno studio esplorativo in Trentino, Italia
La maggior parte delle risorse rurali nei territori montani italiani, come boschi, pascoli, malghe, sentieri di montagna, sono state storicamente governate attraverso organizzazioni e istituzioni di risorse collettive che hanno garantito l'equilibrio tra attività produttive e tutela ambientale. Questi sistemi possono essere inquadrati secondo la letteratura sui commons. Sebbene il modello di gestione collettiva delle risorse sia ancora fortemente…
Questioning Mountain Rural Commons in Changing Alpine Regions. An Exploratory Study in Trentino, Italy
Most of rural resources in the Italian mountain territories, such as forests, pastures, huts, mountain paths, have historically been governed through collective organizations and institutions that have guaranteed the balance between productive activities and environmental protection. These systems can be framed according to the literature on commons. Although the model of collective resource management is still strongly rooted in the Alpine regio…
New Farming as an Example of Social Innovation Responding to Challenges of Inner Mountain Areas of Italian Alps
Changes in the socio-economic framework that have taken place since the late 1960s have disrupted the multi-centennial balanced models of organisation in mountain communities, leading to a series of challenges in the socio-economical, cultural and environmental spheres. Mountain communities, independently or with the support of local and regional authorities, tried to halt or reverse these processes. In some cases, the effort is not only collecti…
Come rispondere alle sfide delle aree interne delle Alpi Italiane? Il "New farming" come esempio di innovazione sociale
I cambiamenti nel quadro socioeconomico che hanno avuto luogo negli ultimi cinquanta anni hanno sconvolto i secolari modelli di equilibrata organizzazione vigenti nelle comunità montane. Si sono così andate profilandosi una nuova serie di sfide negli ambiti socio-economico, culturale e ambientale. Queste comunità, in maniera indipendentemente oppure con il supporto delle autorità pubbliche, hanno cercato di fermare o invertire questi processi. In…
Governing mountain landscapes collectively: Local responses to emerging challenges within a systems thinking perspective
Alpine cultural landscapes are the result of a long process of social-ecological coevolution, and today face dramatic changes and risks, such as depopulation and abandonment of traditional land use. Some communities seem to adapt better and are benefiting from the changes, compared to others, which are losing their population and identity. Historic collective property institutions and traditional ecological knowledge play a key role. The directio…
Trento Social Commons. Coinvolgimento comunitario come modalità per una nuova relazione fisica e culturale tra spazi urbani, periferici e rurali
L'espansione delle aree urbanizzate ha pesantemente modificato le caratteristiche dei paesaggi culturali in molti paesi europei. Anche i territori montani sono stati interessati da tali processi. A causa delle loro peculiari caratteristiche sociali e topografiche lì gli effetti sono stati maggiori rispetto ad altri territori. Inoltre, il processo di espansione dell'urbanizzazione nelle Alpi è fortemente correlato con dinamiche temporanee che dipe…
Trento Social Commons. Community Engagement as Tools for New Physical and Cultural Relationships Between Rural and Peripheral Spaces
Expansion of urbanized areas heavily changed cultural landscapes' features in many European countries. Mountain territories have been hit by such processes too; due to their peculiar social and topographical characteristics these effects have been greater than in other territories. Moreover, urbanization expansion process in the Alps is strongly related with temporary dynamics depending from touristic fluxes, implementation of new spaces of mobil…
Pathways of Immigration in the Alps and Carpathians: Social Innovation and the Creation of a Welcoming Culture
Outmigration from rural territories is a worldwide phenomenon that is visible in many mountain regions and creates a perception of a landscape of abandonment. Nonetheless, a counterprocess has also occurred over the past decades of increasing immigration into marginal areas, including mountain areas in Europe. This article compares case studies from mountain municipalities in Austria, Italy, and Romania that have experienced an increase in immigr…
Mapping Alpine Landscape Values and Related Threats as Perceived by Tourists
Alpine environments are increasingly appreciated by nature-based tourism, notwithstanding recent economic crises. To benefit from this and maintain the attractiveness of a tourist destination, it is important to recognise the values of landscapes. We developed and tested a qualitative spatial valuation methodology, integrating existing quantitative survey methods, to support destination management and landscape planning at the local level. Data w…
