Community food projects, social innovation, and the past
Community food projects (CFPs) have diverse purposes relating to correcting market failures, community cohesion and not-for-profit operation. These are well served by social innovations relative to technical and/or economic ones. Whilst innovation is invariably associated with 'new' ideas, innovation theory accommodates learning from the past, acknowledging its relative neglect. This paper explores the extent to which the purposes and innovative …
Community development and community food in Lincolnshire, United Kingdom
Community development in the UK has moved from private philanthropy in the early 20th Century through welfarism to a ‘marketisation’ in the 21st Century with both state contracts, and market-based performance measures. But neoclassical economics, on which such marketization is based, is an inadequate measure of community development practice as it does not accommodate a range of inequalities, spatial differences, changes over time, market failure…
Applying Neo-Endogenous Development Theory to Delivering Sustainable Local Nature Conservation
The environmental planning agenda is shaped by a range of top-down policies and directives, both nationally and internationally. Simultaneously, several local, often community-led, initiatives seek to enhance their local environments. This article seeks to understand both synergies and dissonance between top-down and bottom-up actions within the environmental conservation and management domain of sustainable development. Four case studies of loca…

The Role of Tacit Knowledge in Developing Networks for Sustainable Agriculture
Whilst objectivist epistemologies have been dominant in productivist agriculture, the local, cultural and environmental contexts of sustainable agriculture are more fully informed by constructivist epistemologies. Within constructivism, tacit knowledge - an intuitive knowledge that cannot be formalised - is explored empirically. Six types of tacit knowledge were identified as a result of working closely with a sustainable food network: the Bright…
Planning and policy documents as transactions costs
The role of trust in the development of connectivities amongst rural elders in England and Wales
Factors influencing participation in outdoor physical activity promotion schemes
Policy exhortations for promoting outdoor physical activity have increased considerably in England and Wales over the past 20 years. Despite a considerable number of schemes developing during this period to encourage physical activity and exercise, marked population-level changes in outdoor physical activity behaviour have not been seen. The paper explores the triggers to this participation using a five-fold classification: physical infrastructur…
Community Participation in Spatial Planning
The literature that explores relationships between lay and professional stakeholders in community participation generally suggests that professionals perceive five main difficulties in working with lay people: it is unnecessary within democracies; lay people lack expertise; they are not representative; there is commonly a lack of trust, and decision-making is made more complex. In respect of spatial planning in South West England, from survey evi…
Transactions Costs in Rural Decision‐making
Public domain decisions in rural England have become more complex as the number of stakeholders having a say in them has increased. Transactions costs can be used to explore this increasing complexity. The size and distribution of these costs are higher in rural areas. Grouping transactions costs into four – organizations, belief systems, knowledge and information, and institutions – two of the latter are evaluated empirically: growth in the bid …
Economic Performance in Rural England
Curry N. and Webber D. J. Economic performance in rural England, Regional Studies. Measuring rural economic performance is obscured by the simultaneous use of two spatial platforms: the ‘city-region’ and the ‘rural definition’. The characteristics of these spatial platforms for measuring rural economic performance are explored through plant-level productivity data. In general, English rural districts are less productive, but particularly where th…
Differentiating Trust in Rural Decision-making, Drawing on an English Case Study
Within the context of rural civic participation, three different types of trust are described, based on Simmelian-related constructs: personal trust, system trust and instrumental trust. Each has two components, a justification and a leap of faith. These vary in proportion according to degrees of knowledge held. Shifts in public domain decision-making have changed the emphasis of different types of trust. In using constructs of social capital to …
The Disempowerment of Empowerment
In the context of a growth in both participatory democracy and responsible participation, rural decision-making in England has become increasingly complex over the past 30 years, fuelled by national polices relating to regionalism, citizenship and relocalisation. A survey of ‘agents of rural governance’ (ARGs) in the county of Gloucestershire, England, charts their recent growth, reasons for formation and perceived jurisdiction as well as examini…
Business Productivity and Area Productivity in Rural England
Webber D., Curry N. and Plumridge A. Business productivity and area productivity in rural England, Regional Studies. Rural area productivity and rural business productivity measure different things. This paper presents a empirical analysis of labour productivity differentials across the new Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA) definition of ‘rural’. Labour productivity is 21% (13%) lower in sparse (less sparse) rural areas c…
Constraints to Participation in Countryside Recreation in England
This paper addresses the already substantial literature on constraints to participation in outdoor recreation, by offering a European perspective on what has largely been a North American debate and by grounding constraints within a participative rather than a predominantly non-participative framework. Using the findings from a telephone survey of nearly 2000 households in southern England, the paper argues that constraints have to be understood …
The divergence and coalescence of public outdoor recreation values in New Zealand and England
Mid 19th Century English settlers in New Zealand developed a clear set of values for outdoor recreation. A small gregarious farming population used recreation for team sports and the nurturing of a ‘moral and physical health’. Work on the farm was a solitary activity. Recreation should therefore be a social one, taking place on land the rights to which were to be available to all. Developments in England from this time, by contrast, provided recr…
To Climb a Mountain? Social Inclusion and Outdoor Recreation in Britain
Despite the importance of social inclusion policies for outdoor recreation in Britain, there is some debate over their effectiveness. Young people and the disabled as well as ethnic minorities and the less well off, all take part in outdoor recreation proportionately less than other sectors in society. The British literature has identified that this could partly result from a desire not to rather than simply not having the opportunity to recreate…

Community participation in outdoor recreation and the development of Millennium Greens in England
A growth in community participation (CP) in outdoor recreation provision and maintenance emerged from the post-war voluntary movement but from the 1970s, discrete initiatives were spawned in the context of management experiments, threats to urban open space from development, the enhancement of forestry recreation opportunities and European funding to remoter rural areas. A shift in the style of government from an executive to an enabling role in …
