“…In the first WS, a multi-stakeholder participatory approach (Hemmati, 2002) was used to identify the local or regional context, challenges and issues of CS and the current dynamics of farming systems. Participants were recruited to represent four perspectives: public asset management (agents involved in rural planning, agricultural development or water-resource management); feasibility (farmers, agents of cooperatives, supply chains); landscape and environment (civil society, representatives of nature conservation associations or natural parks); and the systemic approach (farming-system experts).…”

The development of integrated crop-livestock systems (ICLS) is a major challenge for the ecological modernisation of agriculture but appears difficult to implement at a large scale. A participatory method for ICLS design has been developed and implemented in 15 case studies across Europe, representing a range of production systems, challenges, constraints and resources for innovation. Local stakeholders, primarily farmers, but also cooperatives, environmental-association representatives and natural-resource managers, were involved in the identification of challenges and existing initiatives of crop-livestock integration; in the design of new options at field, farm and territory levels; and then in qualitative multicriteria assessment of these options. A conceptual framework based on a conceptual model (crops, grasslands, animals) was developed to act as a boundary object in the design step and invite innovative thinking in 'metabolic' and 'ecosystemic' approaches. A diversity of crops and grasslands interacting with animals appeared central for designing sustainable farming systems at the territory level, providing and benefitting from ecosystem services. Within this diversity, we define three types of integrated systems according to their degrees of spatial and temporal coordination: complementarity, local synergy, territorial synergy. Moreover, the options for cooperation and collective organisation between farmers and other stakeholders in territories to organise and manage this diversity of land use revealed opportunities for smart social innovation. The qualitative multicriteria assessment identified farmer workload as the main issue of concern while demonstrating expected benefits of ICLS simultaneously for economic, agronomic, environmental and social criteria. This study concludes that participatory design of ICLS based on a generic multi-level and multi-domain framework and a methodology to deal with a local context can identify new systems to be tested. Further assessment and redesign work will be performed in later stages of the European FP7 CANTOGETHER project.

“…In fact, many of these elements are widely debated within the research as an issue of districts' and networks' governance (Schmitz & Nadvi, 1999;Nelson & Pritchand, 2009;Hemmati, 2002;Gereffi & Lee, 2016). Rather, within the definition of a process, articulated in pre-conditions, conditions, and phases of implementation, appears the distinctive element of this approach that can represent a guarantor function, so that choices can be taken and implemented in the interest of all.…”

Environmental pollution occurring in industrial districts represents a serious issue not only for local communities but also for those industrial productions that draw from the territory the source of their competitiveness. Due to its ability to take into account the needs of different stakeholders, the collective impact approach has the potential to address these problems, whereas single actors may not have the resources. The implications of the paper are addressed to institutions for industrial policies which individuate potential courses of action for developing and strengthening clustering-based approaches, as well as implementing viable policies in support of the sustainable competitive model.

“…The concept of stakeholders and their management references the organization of groups/individuals around specific focal issues, where a smaller group represents much larger groups of individuals [35] and reflects a greater mix of actors [36,37]. Sustainable construction is a suitable example of such a focal point as it is not a topic that is relevant to single individuals and organizations, but is globally important.…”

Despite documented political support for energy reduction measures in Switzerland's built environment, as well as high international regard for its construction and research sectors, design practitioners and researchers perceive a diverse set of challenges involved in the implementation of green development solutions. Grounded in Science and Technology Studies (STS), observations drawn from 31 semi-structured qualitative interviews conducted with Swiss building industry experts provide insight into the relationships between designers, researchers and public authorities. A series of examples from the empirical data show how regulatory frictions and the challenges of implementing construction strategies into diverse domestic and international working contexts are ameliorated.
