“…In modern conditions, the question often arises of the appropriateness of introducing such a labor-intensive operational management technology as budgeting at the enterprise, since it remains unclear how it can help achieve the organization's strategic goals [25,26].…”

Management accounting of an economic entity in the agricultural sector is a complex multidimensional system. Sustainable development of the subject of business in the agro-industrial complex depends on many heterogeneous factors and conditions, which are understood as the reasons (driving forces) of any process determining its character or its separate features. The order of making decisions depends on the functioning of management accounting. In the context of diversity and heterogeneity of factors, a high degree of their uncertainty, complexity of interactions, study of these factors is a serious problem. Therefore, management personnel should carry out a constant analysis of all factors affecting the enterprise and assess their interaction, which reflects the cause-and-effect relations that characterize the sustainable development of the agro-industrial complex. The aim of the article is the justification of theoretical provisions and the development of practical recommendations for the development of analytical support of management accounting in the management of sustainable development of agricultural organizations. Objectives of the research: to study theoretical aspects and methodological tools, to determine the set of factors of sustainable development of a business entity, to develop absolute and relative indicators, which should be applied in management accounting for assessment and analysis of economic, social and environmental sustainability.

“…Others, as Kesby ( 2007) have emphasized its potential to empower participants and change their lives through the production, exchange, and use of knowledge that allowed, according to Cristóvão et al (2009), them to learn through shared experiences from actors with different backgrounds, what brings farmers into the process, and strengthen their role in the innovation process [21]. Other qualitative studies suggest that, when adequately implemented, participation projects can lead to innovation, empower participants, encourage learning, raise networks' awareness, strengthen social capital [40], build trust, co-create knowledge, and generate social awareness [36].…”

“…The present study conceptualizes participation as a complex interplay among different players into innovation projects in which producers are a fundamental component [32] as they contribute to understand the complexity of farm level constraints and to find solutions to ensure that their limitations are addressed [36]. Although empirical evidence has revealed that end-user participation does not always lead to innovation [6], and producers' cooperation depends on their level of engagement in the process, their social embeddedness, and their levels of social capital [40], the remaining challenge is to identify when farmers' inclusion would be beneficial [45], and when they are willing and interested to be part of a specific initiative [21].…”

Farmers’ Participation in Operational Groups to Foster Innovation in the Agricultural Sector: An Italian Case Study

et al. 2021

Recently, the interpretation of the innovation process has changed significantly. Its linear model has evolved to a dynamic and ongoing participatory approach where cooperation, oriented to generate co-ownership, is the essence to co-produce knowledge among multiple actors. Farmers’ direct participation in the process is widely accepted since they contribute with first-hand information, perceptions, field experiences, and feedback that are essential for the design and implementation of a project. The European Union encourages their participation through the European Rural Development Policy that promotes competitiveness and sustainability in the agriculture and forestry sectors, building bridges among heterogeneous stakeholders that complement each other to find an innovative solution to a given problem. Thus far, despite participation importance, few details have been provided about producer’s contributions within the process. Consequently, this paper attempts to explore the modus operandi of an Italian Operational Group to get insights about the farmers’ participation and identify the factors that could influence and foster the interactive innovation process. The results, based on a participatory observation, key informants’ interviews, and theory reflection, revealed that farmers are active players in the design and implementation phases. Yet, their participation is not constant throughout the entire process. Empower them to find solutions with different players is a complex challenge as it requires motivation, commitment, trust, and an open communication among different actors.

“…Una estrategia importante para lograr esta meta es la construcción de comunidades sostenibles, es decir, los habitantes de una comunidad puedan desarrollarse y fortalecer sus habilidades y competencias en todo sentido tales como; social, económica y productiva que les permitan desarrollar sus actividades de forma sostenible. [1] En tal sentido, el desarrollo rural se enmarca en lograr satisfacer tres necesidades básicas para hacer posible un futuro sostenible, [2] [3] . siendo las siguientes necesidades:…”

“…Otro punto a considerar es que el desarrollo rural sostenible requiere innovación social transformadora, donde participen todos los actores social dentro y fuera de la comunidad, en este marco de actuación es necesario un modelo de gobernanza que genere acciones desde y hacia los miembros de la comunidad que permita la formulación y ejecución de las acciones de transformación para el éxito de cualquier programa de sostenibilidad [4]. Finalmente, el establecimiento inicial del denominado "habitat" de una comunidad permitiría estructurar un modelo de desarrollo rural que articule acciones que permitan a nivel local la innovación tecnológica, innovación institucional y de gestión; además del fortalecimiento de la red comunitaria y revitalización del sector rural [2] [5] [6] [7]; contribuyendo a la reducción despoblación y el envejecimiento demográfico rural [8].…”

This project describes the procedures and mechanisms associated with Community practices in the context of the information-raising of a Paipayales baseline under Ecoaldeas' exploratory approach. The methodologist used was developed through qualitative design of explanatory and phenomenological type that allowed the analysis of energy vectors, environmental pollution, level of education, basic services, housing, waste management, among other factors of interest. The results obtained will allow the development of new projects focused on the environment and level of education of the community especially in the training stage. All this must be developed on the basis of criteria and goals that strengthen the actions aimed at the sustainable development of the Paipayales enclosure that guarantees, reach the sustainability of resource and its environment. Whose strategies to follow are set out in goals the SDG (Sustainable Development Goals).
