“…Among agricultural‐related industries, according to Elgåker (), the horse industry sector is part of a larger shift towards a postproductive rural landscape. The horse industry has features that are similar throughout the western world, but its development is closely tied to lifestyle changes related to possibilities created by the local social, economic, and land use conditions (Elgåker, Pinzke, Nilsson, & Lindholm, ; Liljenstolpe, ; Mather, Hill, & Nijnik, ). Elgåker et al () further argued that horse‐related activities could be labelled as a business, a kind of land use with certain economic conditions, or a type of outdoor lifestyle outside the traditional agricultural economic system enabled by public use of common assets.…”

This study deals with sustainable development from a triple bottom-line perspective, including the economic, social, and environmental dimensions. Specifically, this study investigates whether various sustainability factors are related to small businesses' intentions to exploit open sustainability, which is described as meeting sustainability challenges through the exploitation of internal and external initiatives. Empirical data were collected from 139 companies. The results show that some factors from all three sustainability dimensions affect companies' intentions to exploit open sustainability, while company size and operations type do not influence the use of open sustainability.As an emerging concept, the definition of open sustainability is presented.

“…Those who have criticised the concept of post-productivism stress that it is theoretically weak and poorly defined. At the same time, many researchers stress the need for thorough empirical studies and evidence (for example Wilson 2001;Evans et al 2002;Mather et al 2006;Woods 2011). Agriculture and forestry are always productivistic activities because they still aim to produce with efficiency.…”

This article focuses on shifts in the use of natural resources by referencing a theoretical discussion of post‐productivism and neo‐productivism. Transitions from one form of nature use to another are not straightforward but entail various cycles and combinations. Neo‐productivism appears to be a versatile concept fit for describing the use of natural resources, which is becoming more complex and difficult to describe. Neo‐productivism describes a renewed form of productivism that emphasises environmental perspectives and sustainability in addition to the production of natural resources. It includes new characteristics in the material utilisation of nature, including pressures towards production increase. Our case studies present two Finnish natural resource peripheries: in the Forest Karelia, forests have been central to landscapes and incomes, whereas livelihoods in the archipelago have been dependent on sea and fish stocks.

Contested Lands? Dissonance and Common Ground in Stakeholder Views on Forest Values

Forest lands are used in increasingly plural ways and serve society with numerous benefits. This paper analyses the views of private forest owners and the general public in Sweden on the values of the forest. Two main dimensions were identified: 'preservation and recreation' values, reflecting ecological and social aspects; and 'production' values, reflecting economic aspects. While the general public emphasised the importance of forest uses which cater to ecological and social forest values more strongly compared to the forest owners, no significant difference was found concerning economic forest values. This suggests that while there is scope for contestation over forest land use, there is also some potential for common ground across stakeholder groups. These findings add to the body of knowledge of the views on the use of forest lands, and can inform forest related planning, management and policy development.
