The role of women in on-farm diversification. The case of the Transdanubia Region of Hungary
Il contributo di Andrea Segr\ue8 e Hajnalka Petrics analizza l\u2019importanza della multifunzionalit\ue0 in agricoltura e delle strategie di diversificazione delle famiglie agricole nei Paesi dell\u2019Europa centro orientale. Tra gli oggetti dell\u2019indagine emerge la particolare importanza rivestita dalla donna rurale nell\u2019individuazione di attivit\ue0 economiche destinate a svolgere un\u2019importante ruolo di integrazione del reddito familiare. L\u2019articolo, basato su interviste e ricerche condotte nella regione ungherese della Transdanubia, \ue8 finalizzato a evidenziare le spinte, le motivazioni ed i vincoli incontrati dalle donne nella promozione delle attivit\ue0 extraagricole
Preface
This publication is produced in the framework of Project NetWet 2 Waternet Telematic Platform: \uabNetworking Perspectives of Transnational Co-operation and Participatory Planning for Integrated Water Resources Management through the promotion of new forms of Spatial Governance\ubb, approved under the 1st Call of proposals of Community Initiative Interreg III B (2000-2006) \u2014 CADSES \u201cCentral Adriatic Danubian South-eastern European Space\u201d.
The first part of this publication focuses on public participation in environmental matters. Public participation in environmental decision making is currently a key issue in the juridical and political de bate, along with sociological and anthropological discussions, and has become in the last decades the goal of different recommendations and declarations at the international level, elaborated by the European Union or other international organizations. In this part a deep analysis is also developed as regards the important innovations that community provisions have introduced into the Italian legislation on access to environmental information and public participation. But the work does not limit its horizons to the study of the juridical framework, and goes also through an examination of the strengths and weakness that public participation processes encounter in the Italian daily practice.
The second part of the publication deals with natural resource management. It aims at presenting the process of economic valuation of wetlands with particular reference to their ecological functions. After the analysis of the link between economic valuation and nature protection, it summarises the main aspects of the Water Framework Directive in reference to wetlands, and goes further with an explanation of the main reasons of wetland loss, giving a short insight into the socio-economic importance of wetlands in the Danube areas. Furthermore, it describes the framework of economic valuation of wetlands ending with a detailed presentation of the main valuation techniques used to value wetlands\u2019 ecological functions. For a better illustration of these techniques two case studies are also re ported
Le trasformazioni del mercato del lavoro nelle aree agricole e rurali ungheresi: staticit\ue0 o nuove opportunit\ue0?
Le trasformazioni politico-sociali, giuridico-economiche e culturali che negli anni novanta hanno caratterizzato i paesi dell\u2019Europa centro orientale sono state particolarmente significative sia per il settore agricolo, caratterizzato da profondi mutamenti strutturali, sia per le aree rurali, dove le condizioni di incertezza e la mancanza di opportunit\ue0 hanno provocato un forte aumento della disoccupazione.
Oggi la multifunzionalit\ue0 e le strategie di diversificazione potrebbero ricoprire un ruolo sempre pi\uf9 importante per le famiglie agricole e rappresentare nuove opportunit\ue0 per un settore sempre pi\uf9 orientato verso il mercato, ma ancora caratterizzato da problemi strutturali che continuano a costituire un vincolo decisivo sulla strada del pieno sviluppo
Social Farming and social protection in developing countries in the perspective of sustainable rural development in Agriculture in an urbanizing society: reconnecting agriculture and food chains to societal needs. Proceedings of the conference (Rome, 14-17 september 2015)
global trends contributeto the creation of social and economic
deprivation and the impoverishment of local communities. These
expose territories and local inhabitants to the risk of
abandonment and economicexploitations. Worldwide inequality
also seems to be on the rise, especially in rural communities. In
this framework, despite the availability of economic
resources,the risk of marginalization for the less empowered in
rural areas in developing countries has been increasing, owing to
the unequal distribution of resources, the lack of services and
public expenditure. Therefore, there seems to be a need to
redesign concepts and criteria for sustainable development by
addressing in parallel the economic goals and the social
dimension of sustainability. In the debate on rural sustainable
development, the provision of innovative and effective social
services should be considered to support social inclusion,
promote equality and tackle poverty. This paper presents the
concept of Social Farming (SF) as a possible approach and
practical way to foster sustainable development in lowincome
developing countries (LIDC). The paper also explores the
relationship between SF and social protection (SP) in rural areas
and suggests a methodological implication for designing
pathways of positive change in local communities
