“…Important in this regard has been the recognition of culturally based and niche economic “efforts to rework the cultural dimensions of marginality” (Conradson & Pawson, , p. 77) and the increasing impact which globalisation is having on key tourism and amenity destinations such as Queenstown (Woods, ). The notion of the “global countryside” has come to reflect the degree to which boutique agriculture and associated amenity based activities can transform selected rural areas and small towns such, such as Cromwell (Perkins, Mackay, & Espiner, ). A parallel focus has been on the role played by local communities, local government and business groupings in ensuring small town survival (Nel & Stevenson, , , ; Spoonley, ), and the importance of having strong local resilience (Brown et al, ).…”

A significant percentage of the smaller urban centres around the world are losing people which raises questions regarding the appropriate responses to this challenge. Responses from the state have generally been muted, and as a result, concepts of new localism and new regionalism are useful for understanding the role played by place-based leadership and partnerships between local businesses, community groups and individuals. Key within this space is the role of endogenous responses anchored on local social capital and resilience. This paper overviews key themes in the literature before examining statistical evidence of small town growth, stabilisation or decline in New Zealand. This leads into an examination of how three small towns in the country are responding to demographic and economic change. The cases illustrate the importance of local-led responses to the debilitating effects of change and the degree to which place based development can be critical in the context of coping with change in small towns. The paper further argues that "right-sizing" to a new economic and demographic reality may be the appropriate focus of local attention.

“…In this third regime globalization has often enabled regions in which 'traditional' commodities produced for the world market such as grain, wool and refrigerated meat, to introduce new commodities also intended for worldwide sales. The emergence of new wine regions in the New World is one such example (Perkins et al, 2015), now being emulated by wine production in China (Anderson & Wittwer, 2015).…”

New frontiers in agricultural geography: transformations, food security, land grabs and climate change

Agriculture as a central focus of study featured prominently at several different times in the historical development of human geography, but it has also been an important contributor to the disciplinary transformation that has occurred since 1970. This essay outlines this more recent history, arguing that agricultural geography developed its own concepts and concerns, paralleling some of those within the wider discipline. It illustrates how in the past two decades attempts to examine changes occurring across the breadth of the agri-food system (from supply, to production, to consumption) have brought about a more issues-focused agricultural geography. There is discussion of the use of broad overarching concepts, which have conceived of changes to agriculture and the agri-food system in terms of episodic developments. This has seen recognition of different food regimes, acknowledging possible transitions from productivism to post-productivism to multifunctionality and perhaps neo-productivism. Having discussed these concepts, drawing extensively upon literature written in English, the essay then focuses on selected major problems or key issues to which agriciultural geographers are currently contributing new insights, namely the closely related topics of food security, land grabs and adaptations to climate change.

“…The presence of newcomers and/or returnees is well‐documented, with studies revealing their diverse business interests. For example, newcomers are involved in restaurants in rural Sweden (Lundmark et al ), accommodation venues in Norway (Iversen and Jacobsen ), specialty food shops in the UK (Rogers ), wine‐making enterprises in New Zealand (Perkins et al ), and hospitality businesses in Canada (Siemens ). Returnees, including those who move back to a childhood residence (Mitchell and Shannon ) or to an ancestral home (King and Christou ), are also active, with returnee tourist entrepreneurs in Sweden (Hedfeldt and Lundmark ), the UK (Bosworth and Farrell ), and Canada (Rockett and Ramsey ) operating businesses in the hospitality sector.…”

In-migrants' externally accumulated capital may influence path creation. Newcomer and returnee proprietors in Trinity use recombination, layering, and conversion to augment an existing branching innovating tourism trajectory.Civic-minded in-migrants helped create the path; their presence may be a precursor to private investment.Insufficient social, human, and economic capital may prevent economic transition in resource-dependent regions. Attraction of in-migrants with new perspectives and financial means may overcome this constraint and facilitate path creation in alternative industries. This paper seeks to determine if in-migrant proprietors initiate, or augment, cultural heritage tourism in transitioning rural regions. Trinity, Newfoundland and Labrador, is the setting for this study. Located on the Bonavista Peninsula, this former mercantile centre was once a hub in the historic Atlantic cod fishery, and today is one of the province's premier tourist destinations. To ascertain in-migrants' role in this transition, we contacted members of the business community and posed questions to reveal their characteristics, proprietorship routes, and tourism activities. Using a critical realism perspective, we identify trends (i.e., demi-regularities) in the information gathered, compare these empirical regularities to extant literature (i.e., abduction), and draw on documentation, and key informant interviews, to identify responsible conditions and generative mechanisms (i.e., retroduction). We find that counterurbanite proprietors are enhancing, rather than driving, an existing tourism trajectory, a situation we attribute to the earlier actions of civic-minded incomers, and local residents.
