Provedor de dados: Ecology and Society
Autores: Amundsen, Helene; CICERO Centre for Climate and Environmental Research - Oslo; helene.amundsen@cicero.uio.no.
This article contributes to our understanding of community resilience. Community resilience is the ability of a community to cope and adjust to stresses caused by social, political, and environmental change and to engage community resources to overcome adversity and take advantage of opportunities in response to change. Through an analysis of local responses to multiple challenges, six dimensions of community resilience were found in one village in northern Norway. These dimensions; community resources, community networks, institutions and services, people&amp;#8211;place connections, active agents, and learning; are activated in processes and activities in the village to respond to current challenges. Although this corroborates findings from other...

Autores: Lima-Filho,Dario de O; Oliveira,Leidy Diana de S de; Watanabe,Eluiza AM; Maemura,Marcia Mitiê D.
This study aims to analyze purchase policies to fruits and vegetables in supermarkets in Campo Grande, Brazilian Midwest. Thirteen interviews were conducted with representatives from supermarkets, small, medium and large, responsible for purchasing fresh vegetables. By analyzing the responses obtained through interviews, we can observe that producers make almost the entire supply of fruits and vegetables in large supermarkets from other states, and the small and medium establishments usually buy more with the local producer. For retailers, the fruits and vegetables represent an important factor to create internal circulation of customers in stores and a factor of attraction of clients too, in addition, this products offer high profitability. For the...

Policies, Natural Resource Governance and Local Development
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Massuanganhe,   Israel Jacob.
The role that agriculture should play in economic development has been recognised for years. In recent years, concern has been expressed over rising agricultural and food prices. The world market prices for major food commodities have risen sharply to historic highs of more than 60 percent above levels just two years ago. Many factors have contributed to the rise in food commodity prices. Some factors reflect trends of slower growth in production and more rapid growth in demand that have contributed to a tightening of world balances of grains and oilseeds over the last decade. Other factors that have added to global food commodity price inflation include the declining value of the US dollar, rising energy prices, increasing agricultural costs of...

Autores: Mantino,   Francesco; Tarangioli,   Serena; Tudini,   Lucia.
Main objective of this paper is focusing on local institutions and their ability to effectively respond to local needs in designing and implementing rural development policies.  The main unit of analysis is the Province of Grosseto. In this area a great number of public national and regional programmes provided for development funds during the last decade. The Province tried to co-ordinate these funds according to some strategy, but the real success in doing so is unknown and, more important, the driving forces and the conflicts/alliances which permitted this co-ordination have been explored. RDP is part of this process of co-ordination, probably one of the most relevant policies in the hands of Province.  The research explore the following elements:...

DESENVOLVIMENTO LOCAL E SUSTENTABILIDADE: CIDADANIA EM CONSTRUÇÃO
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Oliveira,   Elias Rodrigues de; Moura Filho,   Jovino A. de.
From time to time, mainly in the field of action of the so-called human and social sciences, notions are instituted, culled, re-designed or they re-emerge with renewed impetus in the intellectual debate. That is what seems to be occurring with the concept of development, now emphasized in its dimension of territoriality associated with a view of sustainability and as a foundation for the exercise of citizenship rights. This work seeks to contribute timidly to that reflection. For such it employs a brief bibliographic review and a critical analysis of the social-economic and environmental reality under the prism of sustainability and citizenship in countries and regions in developing stage, above all in Brazil.

EFFICIENCY OF THE ITALIAN AGRI-FOOD INDUSTRY: AN ANALYSIS OF "DISTRICTS EFFECT"
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Brasili,   Cristina; Maccarini,   Elisa Ricci.
In the course of the past decades major transformations in the Italian food industry induced considerable structural changes: on one hand, the creation of large industrial groups, with substantial input of foreign capital and, on the other, the concentration and geographic specialisation of numerous small and medium enterprises, with the formation of specific and typical agri-food local system (districts).  To take account of the presence of food districts the analysis of the Italian food industry could not be conducted at national and regional level but it has to be studied at province and local level.  It is also useful to analyse the food industry with reference to the different sub-sectors.  We will conduct an in-depth analysis of the local systems...

O Brasil é o terceiro maior produtor de frutas, entretanto, a participação nas exportações mundiais ainda é reduzida. A fruticultura consiste numa alternativa viável para o desenvolvimento uma vez que pode gerar renda a partir de reduzida área de produção, além de adotar mão-de-obra de forma intensa. A região Nova Alta Paulista apresenta características adequadas à atividade em termos de estrutura agrária e condições edafoclimáticas. Assim, esse estudo teve como objetivo caracterizar a fruticultura na região. Foram identificadas diversas barreiras ao desenvolvimento como a falta de coordenação entre os agentes das cadeias da fruticultura. Tais barreiras devem ser alvo de políticas públicas e privadas, pois os resultados podem beneficiar os agentes em...

Characteristics and organization of the Fairtrade market in Brazil
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Valentini,   Elena.
Fair Trade is defined as a set of socio-economic activities which are alternative to traditional and international trade. It began from the belief that the principal market's laws tend to cause serious damage to the South, and especially to the many workers devoted to 'agriculture'. The concept of Fair Trade is very important and powerful because it states that all trades should follow right principles; this statement highlights the importance of the movement as a regulatory model for all the incorporation models of trade regulations[1]. In this paper, with both historical and analytical approaches, we will try to analyze the economic paradigms which are taking place in the South and to highlight the importance, sometimes forgotten by stakeholders in the...

Rural Development and the Declining Coherence of Rural Policy: An American and Canadian Perspective
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Freshwater,   David.
Rural development policy in North America has moved from a position of national importance to one of marginality as Canada and the United States grew. While rural policy and agricultural policy are no longer synonymous there is no firm consensus on what national governments should play. While national governments can operate effective commodity based policy they are less capable of managing people based policies and quite weak in operating place based policy. However as rural communities evolve in a variety of ways, it is the latter two types of policy that are most useful. Moreover social change has resulted in broad public policy being more concerned with the “ecological function” of rural areas and less concerned with the  economic and social well-being...

Autores: Canever,Mario Duarte; Carraro,André; Kohls,Volnei Krause; Teles,Morgan Yuri Oliveira.
This paper is about the links between entrepreneurship determinants, entrepreneurship rate and entrepreneurship consequences. A model relating demographic, cultural, economical and institutional antecedents to entrepreneurship rate and to economic and social regional performance is proposed and tested using Rio Grande do Sul municipal data. The results support the view that institutional, economical and demographic variables shape entrepreneurship rate. Moreover support was also found for the fact that the entrepreneurship rate impacts the development of localities. Unlike other researches our results also suggest that the entrepreneurship rate mediates the effects of other variables on the regional economic and social performance. This result has...
