This book was released on 2020-02-12 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The sustainability of the human society is endangered by the global human-ecological crisis, which consists of many global problems that are closely related to each other. In this phenomenon, the global population explosion has a central role, because more people have a larger ecological footprint, a larger consumption, more intensive pollution, and a larger emission of carbon dioxide through their activities.This book presents the current state of sustainability and intends to provide the reader with a critical perspective of how the 21st century societies must change their development model facing the new challenges (internet of things, industry 4.0, smart cities, circular economy, sustainable agriculture, etc.), in order to achieve a more liveable world.

Download or read book Sviluppo rurale alla prova written by Benedetto Meloni and published by Rosenberg & Sellier. This book was released on 2017-05-10 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Il volume si confronta con i temi dello sviluppo locale, ricalibrando le categorie classiche che derivano dall'analisi distrettuale e dalla successiva letteratura con le questioni più proprie dello sviluppo rurale, spesso sottovalutate in questi studi, incentrati in prevalenza sulla piccola impresa manifatturiera. Si tratta di un passo "obbligato" che deriva dalla crescente importanza che l'agricoltura, i sistemi agroalimentari e, più in generale, lo spazio rurale rivestono nel contesto globale. La questione rurale è tornata quindi più che mai attuale e costituisce un punto di osservazione privilegiato per cogliere le dimensioni dei mutamenti e delle innovazioni, sia a livello locale sia globale. Oggi si parla non a caso di Nuova agricoltura e di nuovi contadini, per intendere un modello innovativo di imprese autorganizzate e multifunzionali che si allontanano dall'agroin¬dustria per differenziarsi e produrre qualità, ma anche beni collettivi in stretta relazione ai luoghi di azione, considerati come sede (ethos) del proprio mestiere. Il volume analizza queste nuove dinamiche di sviluppo rurale e le politiche a esse connesse, proponendo un metodo e degli strumenti per l'analisi dei processi, attraverso studi di caso. L'attenzione è rivolta soprattutto al ruolo dei sistemi locali e delle filiere territoriali, alla centralità di una governance territoriale e della produzione di beni collettivi, all'importanza dei saperi locali e del capitale relazionale, alla ridefinizione dei confini tra rurale ed urbano, alla ruralità come spazio di azione per politiche integrate, alle nuove forme di multifunzionalità agricola. In questo quadro, le politiche locali e sovralocali chiamano i territori a progettare percorsi di sviluppo rurale, attraverso cui garantire nuove forme di coesione e inclusione sociale, in cui integrazione e partecipazione diretta degli attori locali costituiscono una caratteristica essenziale.

Download or read book Translocal Ruralism written by Charlotta Hedberg and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-10-05 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rural areas are often viewed as isolated and stagnating areas and urban areas as their opposites. Against such a backdrop, this book seeks to unveil a set of dynamics that view rural areas as ‘translocal’ in the sense that they are ‘changing’ and ‘interconnected’. Social transformations take place in rural areas as the result of intense exchanges between different people, settings and geographies. Accordingly, rural-urban but also rural-rural interrelations on international and national scales are strongly contributing to rural change. Translocal ruralism is exemplified through the analysis of local and global migratory flows, the activities of rural firms in national and global arenas, the spread of different forms of transportation and dislocation, and the growing information society, which enables rural spaces to be connected to the world and improves new ways of interconnection and sociability practices. The book is structured into two parts, which intertwine the dynamics of rural spaces. The first part, ‘Linking nodes: people and networks connecting places’, is concerned with mobilities such as migration and commuting, and the establishment of national and global networks. The second part, ‘International mobilities: a tension between scales’, analyses the dynamics of international migration and mobilities in rural areas.
Download or read book Food and Wine Events in Europe written by Alessio Cavicchi and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-03-26 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Food and wine events have gained popularity internationally. Their importance in local economic development has grown, especially in Europe, as they are seen as a source of income for local economic systems, a way for creating new job positions and effective tools for promoting and increasing typical product awareness and demand. This book for the first time illustrates the positive and negative impacts of food and wine events from a stakeholder perspective by highlighting several critical aspects such as: (1) advantages and disadvantages of food and wine events; (2) best practice adoption for maximising benefits flowing from event creation; (3) community involvement and knowledge diffusion; (4) effectiveness in promoting local products and creating consumer awareness about products; (5) factors that promote or inhibit the success or achievements of wine and food events. Although the volume primarily focuses on events in Europe, comparisons are made to other regions in the world. Case studies are integrated throughout to illustrate the system of economic and social impacts linked to food and wine events, as well as best practices to achieve effective event management and maximize expected results. Written by leading academics, this timely and important volume will be valuable reading for all students, researchers and academics interested in Events, Tourism, Hospitality, Gastronomy and Development Studies.

Download or read book Wine and Identity written by Matt Harvey and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-01-10 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In an increasingly competitive global market, winemakers are seeking to increase their sales and wine regions to attract tourists. To achieve these aims, there is a trend towards linking wine marketing with identity. Such an approach seeks to distinguish wine products – whether wine or wine tourism – from their competitors, by focusing on cultural and geographical attributes that contribute to the image and experience. In essence, marketing wine and wine regions has become increasingly about telling stories – engaging and provocative stories which engage consumers and tourists and translate into sales. This timely book examines this phenomena and how it is leading to changes in the wine and tourism industries for the first time. It takes a global approach, drawing on research studies from around the world including old and new world wine regions. The volume is divided into three parts. The first – branding – investigates cases where established regions have sought to strengthen their brands or newer regions are striving to create effective emerging brands. The second – heritage – considers cases where there are strong linkages between cultural heritage and wine marketing. The third section – terroir – explores how a ‘sense of place’ is inherent in winescapes and regional identities and is increasingly being used as a distinctive selling proposition. This significant volume showcasing the connections between place, identity, variety and wine will be valuable reading for students, researchers and academics interested in tourism, marketing and wine studies.

Download or read book Guida per la valorizzazione della multifunzionalit dell agricoltura written by Leonardo Casini and published by Firenze University Press. This book was released on 2009 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book publishes the results of the inter-regional project on "Evolutionary dynamics of agricultural enterprises and multifunctionality". Starting from the identification of a shared theoretical framework of the concept of multifunctionality, the study has developed a method for zoning the territory aimed at defining the different roles played by agriculture. The development of case studies, and meetings with stakeholders and focus groups, have made it possible to identify the weak and strong points within and outside the enterprises, with particular reference to the multifunctional components and the degree of repeatability and transferability of the experiences analysed. The result is to bring to light needs in terms of policies, tools for the valorisation of multifunctionality and strategies that enable the agricultural enterprises to commercially valorise functions not traditionally pertinent to the market.
