“…A particular focus in our discussion is the level of farms and rural communities where resilience relates above all to the capacity to learn, take decisions, and adjust economic and social activity to changing market and societal conditions. Knickel et al (2014) argued that the capacity to innovate and collaborate can be seen as the other side of the coin called "smart and sustainable modernization".…”

“…Some countries like the Belgium, Denmark, France and Germany have for a long time had very high levels of agricultural investment (and investment support). In those countries, farm and regional-level specialisation might have become too strong ((IAASTD, 2009;Knickel et al, 2014).…”

The Role of Social Capital in Agricultural and Rural Development:Lessons Learnt from Case Studies in Seven Countries

et al. 2018

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The importance of social capital for agricultural and rural development is explored in this paper through the analysis of seven comprehensive case studies that have been carried out in the framework of the European RETHINK research programme. The case studies are based on rather different initiatives at the interface between agricultural and rural development in Germany, Spain, Italy, Lithuania, Latvia, Denmark and Israel. The case studies represent a broad spectrum of socio‐economic and agricultural contexts and focus on the role of social capital for development. We explore how social capital materialises in the context of rural areas, and what nuances it acquires in different rural environments. The case studies are used to better understand, and to illustrate, different expressions of social capital in different situations. Within the broad notion of social capital, we pay particular attention to trust, cooperation, sense of community, and culture and tradition. All four dimensions play a critical role in agricultural and rural development as they affect how people relate to each other, organise themselves and interact for development.

“…There is certainly a link between farm development and rural sustainability. At the same time, a key factor in the success of the implemented rural development programs is a systematic approach [4]. Sustainable rural development is possible with a balance of economic, social and environmental goals [5].…”

In this paper, approaches to state management of rural development are considered. The indicators characterizing the development of rural areas of the Russian Federation in the context of Federal districts are studied. It is concluded that the previously implemented Federal targeted programs aimed at the development of rural areas have not led to significant results. The study assessed the adopted state program of integrated development of rural areas in the Russian Federation. As factors that reduce the effectiveness of the adopted program, identified: insufficient funding; the lack of a unified system of indicators characterizing an integrated socio-economic development of rural areas, used both at the stage of programme planning and at the stage of monitoring the status of the village; lack of operational system of monitoring of the current state of rural areas and effective mechanism of interdepartmental coordination in the framework of realization of measures on development of rural areas. The algorithm of development of the state program of development of rural territories on the basis of the methods used by the commercial organizations within construction of system of the balanced indicators (BSC) is offered). Keywords-rural areas; the state program, the analysis of the results of the balanced scorecard.
