“…The importance of managing natural resources sustainably and responsibly started changing the role of agriculture in line with changing rural development paradigm (Bonfiglio et al, 2017; Ditta, 2018; Lowe et al, 2019; Mahoney, 2019; McDonagh, 2017; Mills et al, 2017). Next to its primary function of food and fiber supply, rural activity became tightly related to the external effects of rural landscapes and other public goods, which come in line.…”

“…Despite the focus to the issue and supranational policies introduced at the end of the last century, the international institutions and national governments continuously stress the need for more sustainable use of resources (Haldar, 2019). Agriculture is related to the rural development (Chan, 2009; McDonagh, 2017; Radovanović, 2010; Zhang, 2019; Trukhachev et al, 2018), safer food production (Ditta, 2018; Mahoney, 2019; Samanta, Joardar, & Das, 2018; Sultana & Muhammad, 2018; Zavalloni, Raggi, & Viaggi, 2019; Chen et al, 2018; Mariyono et al, 2018) and many other related concepts that call for taking environment into exceptional consideration alongside social and economic concerns.…”

The purpose of this study is to disclose farmers' awareness of environmental responsibility in terms of eco‐efficiency and cleaner production in the post‐soviet bloc. Theoretical modeling and survey methods were applied. Original empirical data were collected in Lithuanian farms in 2019. The results demonstrate that the patterns of farmers' environmental responsibility are diverse when taking into account farm's characteristics (e.g., size, years in operation, type of farming) and demographic farmer's characteristics (e.g., age, gender, education). The major share of Lithuanian farmers stated eco‐efficiency and cleaner production characteristics being important factors regarding purchasing decisions of farm equipment and machinery. These factors appeared along with other environmental responsibility characteristics. At the same time, research elucidated the gaps of Lithuanian farmers' environmental responsibility and accordingly relevant policy implications are proposed.

“…; Herslund ; Gkartzios ). Indeed, unlike the hegemonic pastoral rural discourse observed in England, McDonagh () discusses discourses of rurality in Ireland (particularly in literature and arts) that are far from the pastoral and idyllic, drawing also on poverty and memories of struggle associated with the Irish famine in the mid‐nineteenth century. Similarly, other researchers in Ireland have found little evidence of exclusive countrysides and displacement due to gentrification, given the very pro‐housing development ethos of the Irish planning system (see for example Gkartzios and Scott ).…”

This article aims to examine rural population/residential movements through a mobilities perspective to provide an inclusive analysis of the diverse processes of movement that (re)produce rural places beyond the dominant counter urbanisation narrative. We seek to contribute to the literature in two ways. Firstly, we examine a sample of rural residents who have moved house within a 10 year period to examine the full range of actually existing residential mobilities, including counter urbanisation, lateral inmigration and local mobility within an Irish context. We suggest that counter urbanisation provides only a partial explanation of rural mobility accounting for 44 per cent of our recent movers -moreover, within the counter urbanisation group, approximately a half of this group were originally from a rural context suggesting a more nuanced 'return-to-roots' movement rather than a stereotypical urban-rural movement. Secondly, we explore two relatively new dimensions of rural mobilities -the importance of the actual house characteristics to where respondents moved to and the pull of family networks as key mobility factors. In the Irish context explored in this article, we argue that rather than a search for greenspace and idyllic landscapes, decision-making is often driven by a desire for more private space (internal and external) and the presence of existing family networks.

“…and the voluntary/community sector (a wide range of local organisations). Ireland is considered to have been particularly successful in the formation of such tripartite partnerships (McDonagh, 2001;Moseley, 2003). There was a long tradition of voluntary associations, formed to compensate for deficits in rural public services, which were able to respond relatively quickly to the first call for proposals for funding (Varley and Curtin, 2006;O'Keeffe 2009 and.…”

Norois Environnement, aménagement, société 241 | 2016 Innovation sociale et développement des territoires dans les campagnes européennes Relationships between local governance and local government and the role of the State: evidence from the LEADER programme in Ireland Relations entre gouvernance et gouvernement local et le rôle de l'État : le cas du programme LEADER en IrlandeAbstract: Central states allocated responsibility for local development actions to a range of private, community and voluntary organisations in many European countries, over the past three decades. This phenomenon has been viewed as undermining the roles and influence of local government. In rural areas, the principle of subsidiarity in the LEADER programme was influential in such delegation of responsibilities. This paper has the objective of analysing the changing relationships between local government and local governance associated with LEADER, using Ireland as an example. Ireland assumes particular interest because new governance structures were accompanied in many cases by new territorial areas which did not coincide with the local government county units and LEADER was truly innovative. The method consists of a critical analysis of government policy documents, evaluations of the LEADER programme in Ireland and experience of researching a number of the governance partnerships. The results illustrate the modalities through which local government may gain influence over local governance structures and extend its remits with the support of central government. Résumé : Au cours des trois dernières décennies, les États centraux ont délégué des responsabilités à des organisations privées, communautaires et bénévoles pour le développement d'actions de développement local. Ce phénomène a été perçu comme affaiblissant l'influence et le rôle ou les fonctions des gouvernements locaux (acteurs publics locaux). Dans les zones rurales, le principe de subsidiarité du programme LEADER a influencé l'allocation de telles responsabilités. Ce texte a pour but d'analyser l'évolution des relations, entre les gouvernements locaux et les structures de gouvernance locale, relatives au programme LEADER, en utilisant le cas de l'Irlande comme illustration. L'Irlande présente un intérêt spécifique car le programme LEADER y a été réellement innovant et les nouvelles structures de gouvernance se sont accompagnées, dans de nombreux cas, de la création de nouvelles zones territoriales ne coïncidant pas avec les comtés des gouvernements locaux. La méthode utilisée consiste à établir une analyse critique des documents relatifs à la politique du gouvernement, des évaluations du programme LEADER en Irlande ainsi que des recherches menées sur différents partenariats de gouvernance.Les résultats présentent les modalités à travers lesquelles les gouvernements locaux peuvent étendre plus amplement leur influence sur les structures de gouvernance locale et accroître ses autorités avec le soutien de l'administration centrale.
