“…This is a key point since it implies that the agricultural concept has prevailed within the renewed paradigm. Furthermore, reflections over CAP put agriculture-including livestock and forestry obviously-as the central element to cope with climate change and global challenges [46,50], as is also said in the previous section.…”

“…At the end of the Second World War, the EU launched the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) which, mainly during its first decades, strongly supported the agriculture intensification [45] to the detriment of the less productive traditional farmlands. Until the 80s, that was the first of three major periods identified in the evolution of the CAP [46]. During the post-productivist period-until the 2008 crisis-productive orientation was combined with rural development measures and growing weight of the associated environmental aspects.…”

Characterization of Globally Important Agricultural Heritage Systems (GIAHS) in Europe

et al. 2020

The recognition and safeguarding of agricultural heritage in Europe are new concepts that are gaining attention due to the contribution they make to sustainability. Of the 57 Globally Important Agricultural Heritage Systems (GIAHS) that exist in the world today, only six have been designated in Europe. Through a qualitative analysis of the proposal documents submitted by these six European GIAHS to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) during the designation process, this study provides a comparative characterization of these sites supported by expert assessment. During the first phase, 24 specific sub-criteria were observed based on the five main criteria that a site has to meet in order to demonstrate its global relevance as an agricultural heritage of humanity. The relevance of the resulting sub-criteria was then assessed by a Delphi panel of experts and the validated ones were applied in an assessment of the six European sites. The European GIAHS sites are characterized by the high value of their cultural landscapes' evolution, modeled by traditional and adaptive agriculture knowledge and practices that are promoted and maintained thanks to organized and committed social organizations. The results of structuring of sub-criteria can facilitate the application of other possible European GIAHS sites.

“…In that programming period, this policy defined specific interventions focused only on civic amenities and services in Axis III for rural municipalities. On the other hand, in the programming period 2014-2020, this policy shifted towards supporting rural agriculture, which is partly related to the restoration of productivism, respectively to the renewal of neoproductivism in rural development policy (Pelucha & Kveton, 2017).…”

The basis for SMART VILLAGE development is a high-quality infrastructure for civilian equipment and services, including the coverage of rural villages by high-speed Internet. The aim of the article is to evaluate the support and impacts of these activities through the Czech Rural Development Program in the period 2007–2013 and, according to the ex-post evaluation, to further identify policy-implications. The results of the analysis show a clear positive impact of the support of the service infrastructure on the development of supported municipalities, on the contrary, the results of supporting the connection of the rural population to the Internet are patchy.

“…At the same time, most of the European foresight methods are extremely formalized and meaningful. ey basically do not contain a prognostic element [11][12][13]. In Germany, foresight tools are actively used to assess and predict rural development [14,15].…”

The purpose of the study is to establish scientific rational for the use of the foresight methodology in the strategic planning of rural development. The scientific novelty of the study is determined by the development of an algorithm for strategic planning of rural development based on the foresight methodology and by the formation of a set of practical recommendations for the use of foresight tools at the municipal level of management in rural areas. The paper states that modern foresight methodology is quite flexible and multifaceted. It can be widely applied at different hierarchical levels of management. In our research, we consistently analyzed foresight projects and programs used in the rural management and development forecasting. The use of a systematic approach in combination with foresight technologies allows developing strategic plans for the rural areas development from the perspective of improvement of their economic and social component. The research presents the foresight algorithm of the rural development strategic planning and its implementation mechanism at the municipal level. The main components of the foresight testing procedure of the rural areas economic development were determined on the example of such a classic agricultural region of the Russian Federation as the Republic of Bashkortostan. The results of a comprehensive foresight analysis of alternative scenarios of the rural development have been formed. We summarized that the foresight technologies should be used as a system tool for the formation and implementation of the strategy of the sustainable rural areas development. The main results of the study include summarizing the experience of foresight studies on the rural areas development; design of an algorithm of strategic planning of the rural areas development based on the foresight methodology; the formation of alternative scenarios of the rural areas development at the regional level.
