How tourists change farms
Agritourism, a growing trend in rural tourism, offers various agricultural activities designed to draw visitors to farms. However, the impacts that tourists have on agricultural operations and farm families are still largely undocumented. This study focuses on the mountainous Tyrol-South Tyrol-Trentino Euroregion (IT – AT), aiming to explain how agritourism affects farms' adoption of organic production and engagement with local communities as pro…
Uncovering the sociomaterial assemblage of a culinary heritagization
In the search for geographical and historical distinctiveness, the issue of culinary heritage has taken an important role in agri-food studies for safeguarding local culinary knowledge and traditions of food cultivation and production practices. However, it remains unclear how salient culinary heritage emphasizes the intertwining of tangible and intangible elements, and how sociocultural values and notions of terroir, tradition, and identity enab…
Managing growth in medium-sized organic businesses
This article explores how locally oriented organic businesses adapt to handle crises during a growth process to build resilience, how these businesses maintain the local orientation when growing and what the implications are for the relationship between territoriality and organic production. We explored four cases of organic businesses in Sweden, Norway, Germany and Austria. The cases can be described as Values-based Territorial Food Networks. Al…
Private standards for animal welfare in Austrian dairy husbandry
The current shift of regulations for animal welfare from public to private standards allows dairies and retailers to improve their position on the market. However, for easy communication and control they tend to reduce the multifaceted societal demands for animal welfare to freedom of movement, that is, to free stalls with or without access to pasture. Taking a farmers perspective, this contribution examines the situation in Austria, where struct…
To what extent do brands contribute to sustainability transition in agricultural production practices? Lessons from three European case studies
Lock-ins and community resilience
Tourism, especially in the European Alps, contributes to rural livelihood and depends on farming to preserve the landscape. The symbiosis is also expected to strengthen community resilience, conceptualized as a combination of economic, social, cultural, political and natural domains. The interplay of these domains may result in path dependencies driven by lock-in effects, beyond which controlled development is basically not possible. In our study…
Social innovation in rural areas
The economic potential of agroecology
Why do we not pick the low-hanging fruit? Governing adaptation to climate change and resilience in Tyrolean mountain agriculture
The resilience and vulnerability of remote mountain communities
Preserving permanent mountain grasslands in Western Europe
Institutional impacts on the resilience of mountain grasslands
From “Food from Nowhere” to “Food from Here
Stability and variety – Products, organization and institutionalization in farm tourism
Stakeholder perceptions of grassland ecosystem services in relation to knowledge on soil fertility and biodiversity
Implementing Sustainable Agriculture and Rural Development in the European Alps
In current scientific and political discourses there is common agreement that the future of Alpine agriculture is a challenge not only for farmers, but also for society at large. What remains unclear is the question of how to adapt agriculture towards sustainable development of the Alpine territory in a manner that takes sufficient account of local diversity. We propose to treat agriculture and rural development as a matter of local concern, star…
GMO-Free Alps
Risk assessment of new technologies such as the use of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) in agricultural production is enormously complex. It cannot be limited to analysis only from the perspective of the natural sciences; socio economic factors need to be considered as well. Active promotion of GMO-free areas is discussed here as an alternative means of technological development. Disadvantaged and ecologically sensitive areas such as the Eur…
