“…The former tend to target the analysis of experiences involving one or more municipalities in one geographic realm. A few examples of this are the papers completed in the US (Grewwe et al, 2002), Austria (Astleithner and Hamedinger, 2003), Scotland (Jackson and Roberts, 1997), the United Kingdom (Patton and Worthington, 1996;Kitchen et al, 1997;Selman, 1998;Wild and Marshall, 1999;Scott, 1999;Sharp, 2002), Ireland (Kelly and Moles, 2000), Poland (Grochowalska, 1998), Sweden (Adolfsson Jörby, 2000Rowe and Fudge, 2003), Switzerland (Corbière-Nicollier et al, 2003) and Spain (Etxebarría et al, 2004).…”

The concern for sustainable development reached its greatest form of expression in what is known as the Brundtland Report; however, it was the Rio de Janeiro Conference of 1992 that created the foundations, through agreements such as Agenda 21. Though the success of Agenda 21 depends fundamentally on central governments, local administrations can play a decisive role, which is why European cities have taken on a serious commitment to enforce it by way of the Aalborg Charter. This paper evaluates the advancements by European municipalities in implementing Local Agenda 21, by identifying their determinant factors. The results show that productive and organizational aspects are key factors, regardless of their origin. Likewise, it has been verified that the factors of promotion instigated by supramunicipal bodies of the public administration are extremely effective, whereas political factors are of little relevance.

“…Unfortunately, over the last 30 years, the implementation of anthropogenic STI methods worldwide has transformed food production, consumption, transportation, health, and communications in such a way that is resulted in unsustainable changes in climate patterns. However, the initiatives and outcomes have thus far been ignored (Corbiere-Nicollier et al 2003). Furthermore, Malaysia has the capacity to transform its economy more productively due to the huge biodiversity of its natural resources, but this has not yet occurred.…”

The significance of Science Framework (SF) to date is receiving more acceptances all over the world to address agricultural sustainability. The professional views, however, advocate that the SF known as Mega Science Framework (MSF) in the transitional economies is not converging effectively in many ways for the agricultural sustainability. Specially, MSF in transitional economies is mostly incapable to identify barriers in agricultural research, inadequate to frame policy gaps with the goal of strategizing the desired sustainability in agricultural technology and innovation, inconsistent in finding to identify the inequities, and incompleteness to rebuild decisions. Therefore, this study critically evaluates the components of MSF in transitional economies and appraises the significance, dispute and illegitimate issue to achieve successful sustainable development. A sound and an effective MSF can be developed when there is an inter-linkage within principal components such as of (a) national priorities, (b) specific research on agricultural sustainability, (c) adequate agricultural research and innovation, and (d) alternative policy alteration. This maiden piece of research which is first its kind has been conducted in order to outline the policy direction to have an effective science framework for agricultural sustainability.
