Passive endurance: An analysis of barriers to aid among Flemish farmers
This article aims at uncovering why many farmers in Flanders, Belgium experience barriers in accessing aid services when confronted with problems. With this objective in mind, individual interviews and focus group discussions were conducted, reaching a total of 77 farmers. Based on these interviews, it will be illustrated how these barriers are rooted in a generalised 'passive endurance'. This passive endurance points on the one hand at values of…
Wellbeing and collective grievances among farmers: The case of Flanders, Belgium
Participation changed my mindset. Transformative learning about agrobiodiversity in citizen science projects
Within citizen science projects, learning about natural resources can encourage environmentally friendly behaviour. More empirical understanding is needed on how citizen science projects facilitate learning outcomes to support sustainable resource management, such as agrobiodiversity. Here we present the learning outcomes of a citizen science project where participants interacted with agrobiodiversity in landscape observatories in Flanders (Belgi…
A social–ecological framework and toolbox to help strengthening functional agrobiodiversity-supported ecosystem services at the landscape scale
Behind the Scenes of Place Branding: Unraveling the Selective Nature of Regional Branding
Processes of globalisation, internationalisation and rescaling of statehood have led to an increased competition between regions. Place branding has become one of the central concepts for promoting local competitiveness and for capturing significant mind and market share. It is a promotional strategy that includes all activities that increase the attractiveness of an area as a place for working, living and spending free time. Place branding invol…

No region without individual catalysts? Exploring region formation processes in Flanders (Belgium)
This paper focuses on the process of region formation and its interrelation with agency and regional identity. The region formation processes of two regions in Flanders (Belgium) were analysed, using a framework assessing the institutionalisation of regions. Based on semi-structured interviews and policy documents, the analysis confirmed the usefulness of the concept of institutionalisation to understand and visualise the evolution and ongoing dy…
Exploring Synergies between Place Branding and Agricultural Landscape Management as a Rural Development Practice
This article explores the synergies between place branding and agricultural landscape management as a rural development practice. We hypothesise that place branding strategy can be used as a process to combat the homogenisation of regions and help to build networks and institutions that strengthen rural development. In order to explore these synergies an extended case study was undertaken in four Belgian regions that display major differences in …
