“…The third sub-topic is zooming in on the ongoing process of adaptation of territories to the high speed of digital and environmental transformation. While the subject has been investigated profoundly during the last decade with or without the tourism component (Kebir et al, 2017;Dredge et al, 2019), the pandemic forced a rethinking of the way the triad tourism -digitalization -regional development operates (Bourdin et al, 2021;. And this rethinking generated new strategies, new approaches, and even new directions for regional actors.…”

“…In this backdrop, innovation adoption is not the simple exit of technical variables, but the result of an entrepreneurial process, also affected by institutional variables, like norms and values, acting live individual's subconsciousness (McElwee, 2008;Hosseini, McElwee, 2011). Consequently, in-depth analyses of the complex mechanisms of innovation adoption among women farmers may be clarified as in Figure 1, which illustrates the three groups of criteria to be taken into account, in order to specify the dimensions of innovation: technical criteria, socio-institutional criteria, territorial criteria (Kebir et al, 2017).…”

This paper deals with “gendering innovation”, with the purpose of exploring the entrepreneurial spaces of innovation among Italian farms managed by women. More precisely, the hypothesis is that entrepre-neurial orientation has to be considered the engine of innovation adoption in different rural contexts, by creating new spaces for innovation. The research is grounded on primary sources using a questionnaire administered to a sample of women farmers in all regions of Italy, with the purpose of investigating complex dimensions behind the decision of innovation uptake, with a special focus on the relevance of entrepreneurial orientation. Empirical analysis lets different “worlds of female innovation” to emerge, which are grounded on both conventional and alternative agrifood networks. Taking on the perspective of entrepreneurial spaces of innovation implies to design a diversified set of policy action with the purpose of affecting these entrepreneurial spaces. This is particularly urgent in the perspective of gender main-streaming of rural development policies of the European Union.

“…In this scenario, cumulative knowledge dynamics are replaced by composite and combinatorial knowledge dynamics [32,48], where innovation is the outcome of heterogeneous and diversified sets of both local and mobile knowledge. This has required an adaptation of traditional analysis of innovative milieus, to be replaced by a new vision built on "combinatorial knowledge", which address new and diversified trajectories of regional development [35,45]. By sorting out the traditional innovative milieu approach, Crevoisier and Jeannerat [49] underline how knowledge has become extremely mobile and combinatorial, so stressing the importance of local context: The local environment thus undoubtedly continues to play an extremely important role regarding the way in which it interacts with mobile knowledge ([49], p. 1236).…”

“…who interact locally and with distant and/or mobile players in order to develop ever more advanced [efficient or meaningful] knowledge on the basis of competition/cooperation rules. Recent approaches to innovative milieus as a driver of sustainable innovation pointed out how different innovative milieus may emerge as a consequence of different anchorage modes [35].…”

This paper deals with innovation adoption, with the purpose of analyzing the uptake of sustainable innovations among young farms working in urban and periurban contexts. Our hypothesis is that innovative milieus (IM) play a fundamental role in boosting sustainable innovation. In order to analyze the uptake of sustainable innovation, we will make reference to the two logics of the IM approach: the logics of interactions and the logics of learning. The former is focused on the socio-institutional domain, more precisely on relational assets and coordination mechanisms activated by the farms. The latter makes reference to the profile of innovation adopted and on various impacts innovation have under economic, social and environmental points of view. A questionnaire has been submitted to young farms participating to the Oscar Green Coldiretti Awards. In total, three dimensions of innovation are taken into account: economic, social and environmental. Data are processed through statistical tools aiming at describing the diversified set of interaction-learning mechanisms. Results evidence different innovative milieus which pave the way to diversified paths of innovation with different degree of sustainability and impacts.
