“…In recent years, business has begun to recognise the shift in consumer preferences toward products that are less harmful to the environment (Green, 2012). Meat production systems affect the environment and quality of life for humans, which constitute the environmental or ecological component of sustainability (Verbeke et al, 2010).…”

The beef industry and meat supply chain face several challenges worldwide. These challenges imply increasing overall productivity in order to satisfy a growing population, while keeping a business profitability and product quality and yet minimising its environmental impact. The objective of this paper was to address consumers´ preferences, the effects of production systems on meat characteristics, and national policies and actions developed to improve Uruguayan beef industry competitiveness and exports. To do so, both local and foreign research was reviewed. In this context, sustainability arises as the big issue to be faced by beef production systems and its consideration will affect meat quality characteristics. To match consumers´ preferences and beef production systems will represent a major challenge for the meat industry around the world. Both private initiatives and public policies will be fundamental to achieve this goal.

“…This can be achieved by offering tax breaks to these corporations, or by creating partnerships with local technical colleges that produce graduates with the specific skills desired by them (Green, 2012;Hagedorn & Purnamasari, 2012;Reynolds & Rohlin, 2014). Because rural areas are now in competition with international markets (e.g., Mexico) for manufacturing facilities, steps such as these are necessary to ensure that they are not "left behind" by changing economic structures (Leigh & Blakely, 2013).…”

Critically cued to a political moment at which “the rural” across diverse North American locales is taken to be a singular, homogeneous place, this introduction to the special issue explores the value of comparative inquiry into settings and subject positions that index the rural in markedly different ways. It does so through the conceit of an anthropological almanac: a genre of forecasting through brief, necessarily ephemeral provocations, which both register the uneven production of space and value across their contexts and illuminate social transformations that extend well beyond the rural. Like other almanacs, ours is marked by a commitment to formal and epistemological pluralism, featuring contributions from scholars across the career cycle and presenting creative narrative selections side by side with more conventionally ethnographic ones. Asserting in the face of widespread precarity that rurality has a consequential future, it looks ahead to ask what the study of rural North America might yet become.
