Lost in a haze or playing to partners’ strengths? Learning to collaborate in three transdisciplinary European Living Labs
The ability to learn from each other plays a central role in successful transdisciplinary (TD) collaboration. This article systematically investigates how learning to collaborate allows researchers and practitioners to navigate the challenges of collaborative TD work. Drawing on social learning theory, we emphasise the processual nature of social learning in TD research as learning to collaborate. We examine collaborative learning processes in th…
The economic potential of agroecology
The Role of Social Capital in Agricultural and Rural Development
The importance of social capital for agricultural and rural development is explored in this paper through the analysis of seven comprehensive case studies that have been carried out in the framework of the European RETHINK research programme. The case studies are based on rather different initiatives at the interface between agricultural and rural development in Germany, Spain, Italy, Lithuania, Latvia, Denmark and Israel. The case studies repres…
Stimulating the social and environmental benefits of agriculture and forestry
Stimulating an effective provision of public goods and ecosystem services from Europe’s farmland and forests is a critical challenge for policy-makers. In this paper we focus on three aspects of this challenge. Firstly, we explore the different drivers that influence the provision of public goods and ecosystem services by farming and forestry. Secondly, we identify the key motivational, institutional and socio-economic factors that can encourage …
The role of multi-actor governance in aligning farm modernization and sustainable rural development
Rethinking the links between farm modernisation, rural development and resilience
Operationalising resilience in farms and rural regions – Findings from fourteen case studies
Between aspirations and reality
Specialisation and economies of scale or diversification and economies of scope? Assessing different agricultural development pathways
Rethinking the connections between agricultural change and rural prosperity
Local and farmers' knowledge matters! How integrating informal and formal knowledge enhances sustainable and resilient agriculture
Environmental evaluation of agri-environment schemes using participatory approaches
Towards a Better Conceptual Framework for Innovation Processes in Agriculture and Rural Development
The role of farming previously dedicated mainly to food production changed with an increasing recognition of the multifunctionality of agriculture and rural areas. It seems obvious to expect that farmers and rural actors adapt themselves to these new conditions, which are innovative and redefine their job. In many regions farmers can increase their income basis as rural entrepreneurs, developing new services and exploring new markets. Often, howe…
Conceptual development of a harmonised method for tracking change and evaluating policy in the agri-environment
Rural Development
Both in practice and policy a new model of rural development is emerging. This paper reflects the discussions in the impact research programme and suggests that at the level of associated theory also a fundamental shift is taking place. The modernization paradigm that once dominated policy, practice and theory is being replaced by a new rural development paradigm. Rural development is analyzed as a multi-level, multi-actor and multi-facetted proc…
Methodological and Conceptual Issues in the Study of Multifunctionality and Rural Development
The aim of this paper is to try and outline the complexity of rural development processes that specifically relate to the phenomenon of multifunctionality. 'Multifunctionality schemes' are introduced as a means for visualizing the complex interrelationships in rural development processes and to 'map' the functional relationships and specific reconfigurations in the use of resources such as land, labour, knowledge and nature that underlie them. In…
