“…One of the innovative elements of the strategy is its multilevel governance process, which involves local authorities and communities and national and regional authorities in the formulation, implementation, and monitoring of territorial development strategies. Differently from the SNAI, LEADER is an EU program co-financed through the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development (EAFRD) and implemented by the activity of public-private partnerships, called Local Action Groups (LAGs), with the objective to engage local actors in the design and delivery of strategies, decision making, and resource allocation for the development of rural areas [62,63]. LEADER is commonly considered to be «one of the most influential sets of activities to address this spirit of mobilizing the countryside, through focusing on endogenous potential and activating local stakeholders across all sectors» [7] (p. 57).…”

The article examines the territorial conditions, actors, and processes that facilitate or hinder the emergence of social innovation in the inner peripheries. It investigates three social innovation initiatives taking place in the Italian Apennine through a discourse analysis of policy documents and a number of semi-structured interviews of project promoters and local actors. The research findings show that social innovation emerges as an act of territorial provocation practiced by a coalition of actors that weave strong ties with the local community. Provocation takes the form of an adaptive response of the local community to the dynamics of territorial marginalization, a reaction to tackle what we called the “wanna be” feeling, namely, a sense of constriction and frustration found in local inhabitants and linked to conditions of physical and social isolation, inertia, and a lack of future perspectives. This reaction has allowed them to shape new socio-institutional networks and structures that have catalyzed local communities’ capacity to mobilize particular resources or specific assets existing in places, improving their living conditions.

“…Other authors recognize the importance of further characteristics and dynamics directly connected to agriculture for rural development, such as the role of short supply chains [31][32][33][34][35], the multifunctionality [11,[36][37][38][39][40][41][42], the geography of quality productions [43][44][45][46][47][48], and more extensively, innovation and knowledge [49][50][51][52][53][54][55][56][57][58]. In particular, the most popular literature [50,[53][54][55][56][57]59,60] recognizes that innovation plays a central role in regional development, especially in favor of rural marginal areas [25,52,58].…”

In the international debate, the relationship between sustainable management in agriculture and the enhancement of landscapes is recent and is discussed in various international agendas. These objectives are connected to a growing demand for sustainable agricultural practices, quality productions, and ecosystem services in which farmers and institutions play a strategic role. According to the literature and international guidelines, new functions, and territorial connections can produce added value, especially in marginal rural areas. In this study, the aim is to investigate the factors that allow potential spatial concentrations for sustainable rural development to be identified, placing the landscape at the center of the research. Starting from a literature review, we select specific indicators and variables and analyze them combining Principal Component Analysis and cartographic analysis. The method applied to a region of significant importance in Italy, Apulia, has highlighted the importance of specific factors and significant imbalances, especially in marginal municipalities. The method, applicable in different regional contexts, can represent a useful policy tool, especially in marginal rural areas because it allows us to identify the geography of socio-economic spatial concentrations, suggesting interventions and actions in line with international agendas, such as Common Agricultural Policy reform and Green Deal.

“…Although it is defined a convergence objective region, it is considered one of the most dynamic ones due to the significant investments in innovation for governance, planning and experimentation in agriculture, especially in the context of LEADER. It therefore represents a testing ground at national level (Labianca, 2016(Labianca, , 2021.…”

“…This is favored by the orographic-environmental conditions and above all by the unceasing human activity which over the time has made land available through a labor of transformation, which however has often undermined the landscape features of large parts of the region (Fiori, Varraso, 2000). In this process of rural transformation an important role has been played by the numerous interventions over the years (Colamonico, 1960;Grillotti Di Giacomo, 2000) and more recently by the CAP, since the region depends heavily on European funding (Labianca, 2016(Labianca, , 2021Cejudo, Labianca, 2017).…”
