Exploring the relationship between land abandonment and landscape identity in traditional cultural landscapes: The case of Castelsaraceno, Italy
Understanding resilience capacities in rural Agro-Industries: Evidence from Spanish wineries
Spanish wineries, deeply rooted in rural territories, are increasingly exposed to overlapping economic, environmental, and social challenges—ranging from declining consumption and rising production costs to labor shortages and climate-induced disruptions. As key actors in rural economies, their resilience is critical not only for their own sustainability but also for the vitality of the regions they support. This study analyzes the resilience cap…
Overcoming collapse of farming systems: Shifting from vicious to virtuous circles in the extensive sheep farming system in Huesca (Spain)
Farming systems in Europe are perceived by stakeholders as having a low level of resilience and sustainability when confronted with shocks and ongoing stresses. Specifically, European extensive livestock systems are faced with challenges such as low farm income, uncertain policies, and changing meat consumption patterns, which are causing these systems to decline. Focused on the extensive sheep farming system in Huesca (Spain), our aim with this …
Actors and their roles for improving resilience of farming systems in Europe
Finding pathways to enhance the resilience of farming systems (FSs) in Europe is key, given the increasing challenges threatening them. FSs are complex socio-ecological systems in which social and ecological components are strongly linked. Social actors have the capacity to shape the FSs’ resilience, but there is a knowledge gap about how they can best do it. The aim of this paper is to analyse the roles played by the actors in FSs when dealing w…
Alternative systems and strategies to improve future sustainability and resilience of farming systems across Europe: From adaptation to transformation
According to stakeholders, many European farming systems are close to critical thresholds regarding the challenges they face (e.g., droughts, price declines), functions they deliver (e.g., economic viability, biodiversity and habitat) and attributes required for resilience (e.g., social self-organization). To accelerate a transition process towards sustainable and resilient agriculture, this study aimed to identify actor-supported alternative sys…
Participatory assessment of critical thresholds for resilient and sustainable European farming systems
Farming systems in Europe are experiencing multiple stresses and shocks that may push systems beyond critical thresholds after which system change is expected to occur. These critical thresholds may lie in the economic, environmental, social and institutional domain. In this paper we take a participatory approach with involvement of farming system stakeholders to assess the presence of critical thresholds in 11 European farming systems, and the p…
Implications of alternative farm management patterns to promote resilience in extensive sheep farming. A Spanish case study
The vulnerability of extensive sheep systems in marginal areas, and their capacity to deliver important socio-economic functions and ecosystem services, can be studied through the lens of resilience theory. This research aims to explore how alternative farm management patterns contribute to build resilience in the extensive sheep farming system of Huesca, northeaster Spain. The methodology is based on the content analysis of in-depth interviews t…
Stakeholder perspectives to improve risk management in European farming systems
The challenges faced by agricultural systems call for an advance in risk management (RM) assessments. This research identifies and discusses potential improvements to RM across 11 European Union (EU) farming systems (FS). The paper proposes a comprehensive, participatory approach that accounts for multi-stakeholder perspectives relying on 11 focus groups for brainstorming and gathering suggestions to improve RM. Data analysis is based on content …
Key steps and dynamics of family farm succession in marginal extensive livestock farming
Succession trends in agriculture have been downward in many European regions, especially in the less favoured and mountainous areas of southern Europe. This article aims at understanding family farm succession dynamics in extensive livestock farming of two marginal areas in Spain. We approached the issue applying a qualitative methodology based on inductive content analysis of open interviews with 28 farmers and relatives. The evidence shows that…
A framework to assess the resilience of farming systems
Agricultural systems in Europe face accumulating economic, ecological and societal challenges, raising concerns about their resilience to shocks and stresses. These resilience issues need to be addressed with a focus on the regional context in which farming systems operate because farms, farmers' organizations, service suppliers and supply chain actors are embedded in local environments and functions of agriculture . We define resilience of a far…
