Full textAbstract:
Food is a territorial system closely linked to public health, social equity and land policy. Eating habits are at the root of both incidence of cardiovascular diseases and phenomena of malnutrition. Food often entails social inequity and is acquiring, directly and indirectly, ever greater relevance in the tools of territorial government.
The Cities2030 project is being developed, financed by the European Horizon 2020 programme. The methodology agreed upon by the partners envisages the involvement of all interest groups and actors of the food system arena, through the installation of urban Policy and Living Labs.
The University Iuav of Venice, is involved in the development of two Labs in the Veneto region: one in the city of Vicenza, the other in the Venice lagoon. Working in these two cases will make it possible to reflect on very different food systems, even though they are geographically close.

Full textAbstract:
Innovation in Territorial Food Systems: Collaboration is Key Professor Moya Kneafsey at the Centre for Agroecology, Water and Resilience discusses the importance of The COACH project, which aims to facilitate collaboration between farmers, consumers, local governments and other actors to ‘scale up’ short agri-food chains which rebalance farmers’ position, create win-wins for producers and consumers and drive innovation in territorial food systems. This is becoming increasingly necessary as the crisis in food systems is being intensified by global issues such as the war in Ukraine, hot on the heels of the COVID-19 pandemic, which are all affecting globalised food supply chains. Additionally, Europe’s energy price crisis will contribute to rising global food prices, as well as the damaging effects of climate change which are being felt by farmers all around the world. Looking at territorial food systems as an alternative to the globalised, energy-intensive food systems which have benefited from the EU’s Common Agricultural Policy for many years, these systems can operate at a scale at which it is possible to coordinate multiple actors in order to improve public health, regenerate environmental resources and deliver fair incomes for farmers and food workers as well as quality food for consumers.

Our research explores new perspectives of food design through a multidisciplinary and collaborative process that interprets the concept of conviviality by providing an experience of interaction with food focusing on narrative and evocative components that become tools of territorial valorization, of resources and know-how.Many designers investigated food design topic by attributing aesthetic and formal values and critical and speculative elements to the food. The work aims to explore the expressive and functional levels of food, implementing its “emotional features” and consolidating the connection between senses and behaviour. The main results obtained are the development and test of narrative and taste tools, generated by the collaboration with a starry chef and users, to create a dining experience linked with territorial identities and memories, exploring new interactions.The connection between the project and food has evolved and enriched of themes that go beyond the need to feed and therefore transforming, cooking and eating meals by attributing to the food aesthetic and formal values, but also critical and speculative. (Finessi, 2013)The paradigm change that occurred in the last two decades has led to consider food as an object (Giuxè, 2020), focused on the observation of the changes in convivial habits, has spawned new project fields and new alliances between skills, disciplines and community. The actions of the project are able to strengthen the expressive and functional levels of food, implementing its “emotional features” and consolidating the connection between senses and behaviour.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose – The aim of this study is to consider how key actors in a territorial brand view the creation of value, and how it is balanced between the territorial and individual brands – using champagne as a means of exploring this. Design/methodology/approach – The project was exploratory and a qualitative process involving interviews with key actors in the region was adopted. Findings – Members of the champagne industry adopt a range of views about the nature of value, focusing on image, reputation and perceived quality, but varying between an individualist approach (which considers that value creation lies with the proprietary brands) and a more collectivist perspective, which considers it is predominantly the result of the territorial brand. Research limitations/implications – Research into the organisation of territorial brands is just beginning; while merely exploratory this research suggests that issues around value merit further consideration. Practical implications – Actors within a territorial brand need to clearly negotiate how they view value in order to maintain coherence and a common message. They may also need to pay more attention to issues around brand co-creation. Originality/value – No research in this precise field has previously been carried out and this study highlights variations in the perceptions of key actors within a territorial brand.

Full textAbstract:
Food and agricultural systems in rural areas close to cities have been the subject of much academic research, revealing difficulties due to the proximity of cities, land pressure, and complex governance between cities and rural areas. This article aims to analyze the case study of the Versailles Plain Association (VPA), which proposes an original form of facilitation that contributes to the effectiveness of territorial governance in a rural area close to Paris. It is based on a qualitative method, gathering 52 interviews and heritage audits that were carried out in the framework of the European project H2020 Ruralization. The analysis shows that the VPA is a facilitating operator that brings together stakeholders from both the agricultural and urban worlds, allowing collective projects around a territorial identity. This territorial identity promotes agriculture and rural lifestyles, which become positive embodiments of local development. This facilitating operator thus offers an alternative to urbanization and produces forms of ruralization processes.

Full textAbstract:
This study aims to analyse the role and contribution of small farms and small food businesses on the food system and food security. Drawing on a conceptual framework, methodology, and data from the EU H2020 ‘SALSA-Small farms, small food businesses and sustainable food and nutrition security’ project hereafter referred as SALSA project, this issue has been analysed in relation to four staple products (tomato, chicken, maize, and banana) in Santiago Island (Cabo Verde). The study follows a regional approach based on a detailed analysis of the territorial food systems and of the production/consumption balance of those staple products. The results show that the subsystems of production, processing, distribution, and consumption are different in the different food systems map for the four staple products, with complex and diversified interrelationships between small farms and related small businesses linking with various markets and all kinds of actors. Moreover, the evidence shows that small farms, in conjunction with small food businesses, are crucial to national food security in Santiago Island. The small farm is fundamental for greater food availability produced in the region, and the small food business is a key component playing a very important role by ensuring the stability of supply, being primarily responsible for establishing relationships to population centres.

Full textAbstract:
The increasing expansion of open-pit mining and the drastic transformations of land use in Latin America have led to processes of rural depopulation among traditional inhabitants, causing unsustainability in rural life systems. In the context of profound, worldwide territorial and environmental transformations, it is necessary to anticipate change scenarios and identify territories prone to rural depopulation. The objective of this article is to determine rural depopulation propensities through an exploratory multivariate study of the demographic, social, economic, and environmental conditions of territories where open-pit mining projects are being installed. First, a theoretical model is created using the grounded theory method for the literature review. Subsequently, indicators are analyzed using quantitative methods and geographic information systems. The results show that latent rural depopulation tends to be generated in territories with socio-environmental vulnerability, where advanced mining extractivism makes them prone to future depopulation. Some factors possibly leading to decreased rural population include the reduction of water availability; deforestation and depeasantization, due to urban development; gentrification, due to real estate speculation in providing lodging and food services to the mining project; and drastic changes in land use.

Full textAbstract:
The impact of linear agri-food supply chains is progressively leading to ever wider socio-environmental and cultural repercussions, undermining the balance of territories and communities to the point of disrupting the entire planet’s health. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a paradigm change involving the agri-food sector, the economic sector, and local public policies, in the direction of a diffused ecological transition. In this scenario, the Circular Economy, supported by the adoption of a Systemic Approach, represents a useful operational tool to respond to complex transversal challenges, to reduce and enhance waste, minimize the use of new raw materials, and strengthen the territorial identity and relations among local stakeholders. This article describes a research project conducted for the Piedmont Region (Italy), through which it was possible to apply these innovative tools and approaches to five typical local agri-food chains (wine, dairy and cheese, rice, water, and bovine beef). Currently, at the Piedmontese level, concrete proposals for public policies capable of supporting the ecological transition of the local agri-food chains have not yet been developed, especially in terms of cyclicality of outputs and territorial co-evolution. For this reason, through the use of a multi-stakeholder approach, participatory mechanisms of local actors, and the analysis of several national and international case studies, the purpose of this research was to evaluate the possible enhancement of food waste and by-products, finally developing specific proposals for good practices and public policies capable of contributing to the achievement of the Piedmontese Regional Strategy for Sustainable Development.

Full textAbstract:
This paper addresses the Multifunctional and Territorialised Agri-Food Systems (MTLAFS) in areas of direct urban influence, focusing on the metropolitan region of Madrid. MTLAFS are contextualised as alternatives to the hegemonic global model of mass production and consumption. They are created by combining two conceptual and theoretical bodies of knowledge that share many elements: the study of Local Agri-Food Systems (LAFS), a critical approach to agri-food economies and the re-territorialisation of agri-food systems. The paper analyses the factors that negatively affect the resilience of LAFS and it describes re-territorialisation strategies that enable MTLAFS to be built. By using a multi-criteria methodology to identify agri-environmental and food governance indicators, the research identifies and describes the characteristics that allow the case studies selected in the region of Madrid to be classified as MTLAFS. This has been carried out by gathering the main discussion points on the fractures and relocation strategies that accentuate the vulnerability or, on the contrary, enhance the resilience of the cases analysed. The paper concludes with some recommendations for strengthening the socio-ecological resilience of MTLAFS by using the systemic basis provided by the agro-urban project. This agro-urban project brings together different public policies, governance tools, territorial and food planning, as well as agrarian practices anchored to each specific territory. All these agrarian practices contribute to the configuration of an alternative territorial agri-food model that ensures food security and a shift towards the sustainable development of our planet.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract The Amur region has a significant potential for non-wood plant resources: food, medicine, feed, and technology. The northern regions have a territorial advantage in the potential of forest production, where there is a low and average level of agricultural production against the background of a fairly high level of unemployment among the working-age population. Taking into account the cluster policy of the region in the implementation of the designed portfolio of pilot cluster projects, a cluster-cooperative project for the development of an agricultural consumer cooperative for the production, processing and marketing of berries, aimed at the production and production of a wide range of products using wild plants, the formation of a competitive level of price and quality that meets the demand and requirements of customers of export (international) markets, was developed. Through cooperation and integration of personal subsidiary farms within the framework of the project, it is planned to create a single logistics center of the cluster for managing commodity flows of products, ensuring product quality, and organizing certification of products for export. The project is fully integrated into the structure of the organizational and functional mechanism of the agro-industrial cluster of the Amur region, providing support for the project at all stages from the initial stage of project formation to the release of products for export. It is assumed that the implementation of the developed cluster-cooperative project will form the basis for the rational use of non-wood forest resources in the region and will serve not only as a source of income for the local population, the consolidation of permanent personnel in forestry, the development of small and medium-sized businesses, and will also contribute to increasing the productivity of forest plantations.

Full textAbstract:
Les bouleversements climatiques et environnementaux actuels affectent profondément nos sociétés et les écosystèmes. La production et la consommation alimentaires jouent un rôle clé dans ces perturbations. Le système alimentaire mondialisé, caractérisé par une production et une consommation de masse et une dissociation entre producteurs et consommateurs, exerce une pression considérable sur les territoires et leurs ressources. Pour remédier à cette situation, la reterritorialisation de l'alimentation émerge comme une solution prometteuse en vue d'un système alimentaire plus durable. La France se positionne comme précurseur dans cette démarche, notamment grâce au récent développement des Projets Alimentaires Territoriaux (PAT). Ces projets visent à promouvoir une économie alimentaire locale et durable, tout en favorisant les circuits courts. Pourtant, malgré leur potentiel, les répercussions environnementales de ces initiatives demeurent peu étudiées. La plupart des études actuelles comparent les circuits courts et les circuits longs en se concentrant principalement sur l'impact du transport. Elles ne tiennent ainsi pas compte des avantages systémiques liés au développement de pratiques plus durables au sein des systèmes territorialisés. Afin de pallier cette lacune, cette thèse adapte la méthodologie de l'Analyse du Cycle de Vie Territoriale (ACV-T) pour construire et évaluer les systèmes alimentaires territoriaux avec une perspective environnementale et systémique. La méthodologie adaptée est utilisée comme i) outil de diagnostic, ii) évaluation d'actions du PAT et iii) prospective territoriale. L'ACV-T est appliquée à deux territoires français très différents, la municipalité de Mouans-Sartoux dans les Alpes-Maritimes et le département du Finistère. Les deux territoires sont pionniers dans la mise en place de projets alimentaires territoriaux (PAT). L'analyse environnementale de leurs systèmes alimentaires comme diagnostic initial révèle l'ampleur des impacts directs et indirects, notamment liés aux produits importés et aux intrants agricoles. Les résultats montrent que le transport joue un rôle minoritaire dans ces impacts. Les deux territoires dépendent fortement des importations alimentaires pour nourrir leurs habitants. Les circuits courts, et par conséquent leur impact, restent limités. L'évaluation de politiques publiques menées à Mouans-Sartoux au cours des cinq dernières années démontre des bénéfices environnementaux notables. Une réduction d'environ 20 % des impacts environnementaux, notamment en termes de changement climatique et d'usage des terres, est estimée. Dans le cas du Finistère, la construction d'un scénario prospectif met en lumière les avantages potentiels de stratégies territoriales, plus particulièrement en lien avec l'encouragement à développer des pratiques agroécologiques. En conclusion, ce travail pluridisciplinaire montre la pertinence de méthodologies basées sur l'analyse du cycle de vie comme outil d'aide à la planification et à l'évaluation territoriale des systèmes agroalimentaires. Il montre également le potentiel des politiques de reterritorialisation à contribuer à la transition écologique des territoiresThe current climatic and environmental upheavals deeply impact our society and ecosystems. Food production and consumption play an essential role in these disruptions. The globalized food system, characterized by mass production and consumption and a disconnect between producers and consumers, places significant pressure on territories and their resources. To address this, the reterritorialization of food is emerging as a promising solution for a more sustainable food system. France is at the forefront of this initiative, with the recent development of Territorial Food Projects (Projets Alimentaires Territoriaux, PAT) led by local authorities. These projects aim to promote a local and sustainable food economy while supporting short supply chains. However, despite their potential, the environmental impacts of these initiatives remain understudied. Most current studies compare short and long food supply chains, focusing on transportation-related impacts. Consequently, they do not consider the systemic benefits associated with the development of more sustainable practices within local food systems. To respond to this issue, this thesis adapts the Territorial Life Cycle Assessment (TLCA) methodology to assess local food systems from a systemic and environmental perspective. This adapted methodology is applied to two diverse territories in France and their local food systems: the municipality of Mouans-Sartoux and the Finistere department. Both territories are pioneers in implementing food territorial projects (PAT). The environmental assessment of the two local food systems reveals the extent of both direct and indirect impacts, notably related to imported products and agricultural inputs. The results demonstrate that transportation played a minor role in these impacts. Both local systems heavily depend on imports to feed their inhabitants. The short food supply chains, and consequently their impact, remain limited. The assessment of the impact of the Mouans-Sartoux local food policies demonstrates positive effects since their implementation. An estimated reduction in environmental impact equals approximately 20 % of the entire local food system's impact, particularly in terms of climate change and land use. In Finistere, the prospective analysis highlights the potential benefits of local strategies, particularly in connection with the promotion of agroecological practices. In conclusion, this interdisciplinary work confirms the relevance of life cycle assessment methodologies for local planning and assessment. It equally reveals the potential of local food policies to contribute to the ecological transition

Face à la crise environnementale et climatique, les pratiques basées sur la gestion des processus écologiques ouvrent un nouvel horizon pour l’agriculture. L’enjeu actuel de l’agroforesterie basée sur les associations d’arbres, de cultures et d’élevage, n’est plus limité à la seule production, mais touche aussi à la durabilité́ de cette production, à la résilience du milieu cultivé vis-à-vis des aléas climatiques, à la fourniture des services écosystémiques et à la création de nouveaux « terroirs ». Il s’agit de concrétiser sa multifonctionnalité́ et son inscription dans le long terme. Or, ces pratiques agroécologiques ne peuvent pas résulter d’une pure application de recettes techniques ; elles se développent avec les caractères propres de chaque milieu accompagné par chaque agriculteur. L’entrée par les connaissances naturalistes et agroécologiques des agriculteurs, et par ce que l’on nomme paysage, peut-elle devenir un vecteur de transmission des pratiques agroforestières essentiellement par effet de voisinage et par apprentissage collectif ? Une étude critique des modalités et des dispositifs d’apprentissage, de transmission et d’accompagnement des pratiques agroforestières du Bassin francilien est menée à travers une démarche ethnopaysagère et géographique et par la sociologie pragmatique. Les récits des trajectoires agroforestières et en agriculture biologique ou de conservation des sols sont retracés à travers l’enquête ethnographique auprès d’agriculteurs et la collecte documentaire de terrain (photographies, dessins d’agriculteurs, plans de projets). Une typologie des différentes formes de paysages agroforestiers (linéaires d’arbres intra-parcellaire, complantés parfois d’une strate arbustive, maillage de haies champêtres, etc.) et la gamme des savoirs écologiques et de diversification qui y sont associés, est proposée. En regard, la méfiance envers les arbres chez certains agriculteurs de conservation des sols est identifiée. Dans un deuxième temps, l’enquête sur les modalités d’accompagnement par les parties prenantes du développement territorial (agriculteurs, propriétaires fonciers, agents des parcs naturels régionaux et des communautés de communes, vulgarisateurs), éclaire les conflits et les alliances entre acteurs territoriaux. Les outils et les processus d’apprentissage collectif de cette université agroforestière du dehors sont mis en évidence à travers les chroniques des ateliers de collectifs d’agriculteurs et des projets de recherche-participative autour du patrimoine de semences et de ligneux adaptés localement (enquête écologique, index-botanique, lecture et design paysager, ateliers de projets et de taille, sélection participative). Ce travail propose une synthèse des freins (le temps long, le manque de références locales et de savoir-faire de gestion, l’arbre dans le bail rural) et des conditions de transmission des pratiques agroforestières (implication des pionniers dans un groupe de pratiques, approche par l’expérience, implication des acteurs territoriaux). Celles-ci s’articulent entre différentes échelles : de la parcelle à la plaine, jusqu’à la communauté d’acteurs du « grand paysage ». Enfin, cette thèse identifie un ensemble d’expériences patrimoniales du vivant qui, à travers les bénéfices agro-écosystémiques et les filières alimentaires issus de ces nouveaux paysages agricoles, pourrait devenir le socle d’un projet local garant de la durabilité environnementale, sociale et économique du territoireFaced with the environmental and climatic crisis, practices based on the management of ecological processes are opening up a new horizon for agriculture. The current challenge of agroforestry, based on associations of trees, crops and/or animals, is no longer limited to production alone, but also affects its sustainability and in particular the provision of ecosystem services and the food resilience of territories. However, these agroecological practices cannot result from the application of technical recipes. Can farmers’ naturalistic and agroecological knowledge of landscapes, become a vector for the transmission of agroforestry practices mainly through neighborhood effect and collective learning ? A critical study of the methods and mechanisms of learning, transmission and support of agroforestry practices in the Paris Basin is carried out through a transdisciplinary, ethno-geographic and pragmatic approach. The stories of their agroecological trajectories are retraced through ethnographic investigation and documentary collection from the field (photography, drawing of farmers, project plan). A typology of the different forms of agroforestry landscapes (intra-plot tree lines, diversified hedgerows gridding, etc.) and the range of ecological and diversification knowledge associated with them is proposed. In contrast, the mistrust of trees among some soil conservation farmers is identified. Secondly, the survey on the methods of support by stakeholders in territorial development (farmers, landowners, agricultural development associations, agents of regional nature parks and communities of municipalities), sheds light on conflicts and alliances between actors. The tools and collective learning processes of this outside agroecological university are highlighted through the chronicles of farmers' collective workshops and participatory research projects around the heritage of locally adapted seeds and woody plants (ecological survey, botanical index, reading and landscape design, project and pruning workshops, participatory selection). This work offers a synthesis of the brakes (the long time, the lack of local references and management know-how, the tree in the rural lease). And the conditions of transmission of agroforestry practices (pioneering attitudes, empirical and transversal approaches, involvement of territorial actors) are articulated between different scales: from the plot to the plain, to the community of actors in the large landscape. Finally, this thesis identifies a set of updating of living heritage which, through the agro-ecosystem benefits and the local food systems resulting from these new agricultural landscapes; could become the basis of a local project guaranteeing the environmental, social and economic sustainability of the territory

AbstractThe European Union, apart from its well-developed socio-economic regions, is also characterized by marginal, remote rural areas, where the difficult socio-economic conditions and gentrification are the basis of an increasing phenomenon of depopulation and territorial abandonment. In some of these areas, sometimes, not only the development of inland and/or mountainous areas is complex, but also coastal development is not easy, and it calls for synergies between regional authorities, enterprises, universities, schools, and, more in general, local private and public stakeholders. In such vulnerable areas, there is a greater necessity to build proper governance systems, where local communities and public and private stakeholders have the responsibility to meet, discuss and actively participate as public-private partnerships (PPP) in local development processes. In such a context this paper highlights some of the research themes that have been developed in the research project on Gastronomy and Tourism in remote European Areas with particular reference to the creation of a gastronomic Atlas, still under development, of the Italian area of study, the Metropolitan Town of Reggio Calabria.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractCities are like “heterotrophic organisms” because they are dependent on inflows of air, water, food, matter, and energy. Unlike nature, they pollute their own habitat through the production of waste outflows and emissions, extending beyond their own footprint. Data on the ecological footprint of cities have quantified, emblematically, the imbalance between in- and outflows but also what remains: polluted air, water, and soil. The rapid growth of urbanization is a matter of serious concern, but as a part of new development, it can be turned around with an approach in which cities become an “autotrophic organism”.In 2012 Taranto, a coastal city in Southern Italy with an important commercial and military port, was declared as the city “with the highest risk of environmental crisis” in Italy due to a large industrial area developed in the proximity of a highly populated urban settlement.The cause of pollution, a steel production plant, directly employs approximately 12.000 people and another 8.000 contractors indirectly, making it Taranto’s main economic driver.The conflict between economy and environment in the city of Taranto, make it a peculiar case study to be approached with the concept of a Democratic Landscape. This concept reads the territory beyond the natural environment, also recognizing the wellbeing of the inhabitants.After the analysis of a Democratic Landscape in relation to the concept of an “autotrophic organism”, this contribution explores the transformation by regeneration of the ecosystem and the economic regime. In redeveloping a city like Taranto, changing its function from a heterotrophic organism to an autotroph organism, the approach of the so-called “linking open-loop system circularity” is more appropriate. It more adequately describes the system than what is commonly understood for circularity at the building scale of “reduce, reuse, recycle of resources”. Circularity as an attitude brings together many elements that can be considered generic for each project: it can be about recycling or reuse, cutting costs or time, and output of CO2 through reducing material inflow and the transport of materials.In the context of the Democratic Landscape and an autotropic organism, the approach of “linking open-loop system circularity” is tested on two scales in Taranto. One, on the large scale, proposing multiple reuses of agricultural crops after remediation and two, at the local scale, in rebuilding a portion of the city by reusing the demolished buildings materials.The need to rethink and redesign the flow of resources such as building materials, water, food, and energy is essential to the future sustainability of cities. It involves thinking about how to use existing resources rather than dispose of them as in the linear model. It also means establishing new economic models in order to make a sustainable city, flows of intelligent growth and the creation of an identity for a communal sense of belonging. Together, these create a democratic, autotrophic landscape that can sustain a future.

This chapter is dedicated to the food-heritage-education for climate emergency trinomial (FoHECE). It disseminates a study in the Euroregion of Eixo Atlântico. This Euroregion (Galicia, Spain and Northern Portugal) has been a victim of climate change (CC) due to drought. The project consisted of a participatory-action-research (PAR) with a set of environmental education facilities (EEF) that promote the connection local heritage-global reality. The main objective of the study was to help re-signifying activities in education for climate emergency based on dietary styles. Thus, a pedagogical activity was created with each facility, according to the PAR methodology, to sub-themes of the diet-CC binomial (e.g,. types of food consumed, origin, type of production, presentation) and to food aspects of each EEF surrounding. In addition to the state-of-the-art review on FoHECE, results are discussed, and recommendations are suggested for future approaches and adaptations of this methodology to other contexts.

The project consisted of a participatory-action-research (PAR) with a set of environmental education facilities (EEF) that promote the connection local heritage-global reality. The main objective of the study was to help re-signifying activities in education for climate emergency based on dietary styles. Thus, a pedagogical activity was created with each facility, according to the PAR methodology, to sub-themes of the diet-CC binomial (e.g,. types of food consumed, origin, type of production, presentation) and to food aspects of each EEF surrounding. In addition to the state-of-the-art review on FoHECE, results are discussed, and recommendations are suggested for future approaches and adaptations of this methodology to other contexts.

In the 90s, Cuban universities directed their efforts toward innovation. This “innovation turn” intended to increase the role of Higher Education (HE) in the economic recovery of the country and the solution of significant social problems. At the beginning of last decade universities began to project over the subject of local development (we have called this process “territorial turn”). In the document is explored the capacity of HE to unfold nets that allow the flow of knowledge and technologies for local development. Its role as key actor on the promotion of innovation in municipalities is also analyzed. Through case studies methodologies, it is discussed a group of practices related with alternative energy production, food production based in agroecological methods and the echo-materials production for housing. Each one of those socio-techniques trajectories, emerged in Cuban HE institutions, pay attention to social inclusion, cohesion and social integration goals.

<em>Abstract</em> .—At least 73% of Brazilian indigenous lands suffer one or more pressures or territorial threats, and 55% of federal conservation units do not have approved management plans. These protected areas encompass more than 40% of the Brazilian Amazonia. Official governmental management programs are not adequately supported and lack consistent monitoring and surveillance. Protected areas are under immense pressure from mining and commercial fishing and, more recently, from recreational fishing tourism. Even though recreational fishing in these areas is legally possible, it has been initiated without due consultation with the affected communities, disregarding the International Labor Organization’s Indigenous and Tribal Peoples Convention (No. 169). Also, recreational fishing is being undertaken in a competitive model with no assessments of feasibility or assurance of socioenvironmental benefits. The community-based project of recreational fishing tourism implemented in the Marié River resulted from an cross-sectoral partnership supported by government and nongovernmental organizations based on the indigenous communities’ interest to develop an economic activity to ensure quality of life. The partnership also developed a joint monitoring and management program to protect the livelihoods and collective interests of indigenous peoples with emphasis on food security. The recreational fishing tourism in the Marié River became an opportunity for the indigenous communities to lead the governance, management, and conservation of their traditional territory.

The last decades have been characterized by the intense industrial exploitation of resources, by the emergence of ecological crises, and at present, the incorporation of all the economicsocial spheres leads to the reconciliation between the economic and social progress without producing environmental damage. Sustainable development is a difficult task to achieve by analyzing the social, economic and geographical situation, territorial coherence and homogeneity, related to the number of inhabitants and the eligible area, to the financial allocation for this sector. The present paper intends to carry out a study on the interest expressed by the local actors regarding the LEADER axis and the way of elaborating the rural development strategies approached by the Local Action Groups through a comparative study between the development regions of Romania. The result of the research is a foundation for partnerships project sustainable development regarding Local Action Groups activities in disadvantaged rural areas.

In an inter-connected world, having strong interdependencies, the transfer of know-how represents a blueprint for development. In a transition from global to local, in order to stimulate the challenges of local development, it is paramount to understand how to act, to connect civil society with local authorities, and to create a dynamic and multi-stakeholder dialogue. Development at the local level could lead to a more engaged civil society and more predictable governance from the local authorities; for example, developing a comprehensive set of policies could contribute to a food-secure population, but also tackle issues related to transparency and accountability. The practical experience of the author in Gabon and Sao Tome and Principe will bring an innovative and original approach to complement the existing literature with the reality of the project cycle on the ground, in two specific areas such as agriculture and good governance.

Full textAbstract:
The Systemic Design approach provides a methodology to define complex territorial network of companies with reduced environmental impact. This method defines a way of analysis to understand and map the complexity of current issues addressing them at different levels, in order to design appropriate and long lasting solutions mainly based on the increase of relations between the involved actors. The creation of a network of connections permits to obtain several positive outcomes that involve both the territory and the society that lives in it and it also makes the system more resilient. An holistic diagnosis is the starting point for the identification of different areas to develop a systemic project. This methodology was applied to Lea-Artibai, a department of the Basque Country. Its economy is historically based on forestry and fishing that are currently facing a long-lasting crisis and it is difficult to intervene in these sectors for the complexity of the regulatory system. The holistic diagnosis highlighted other territorial potentialities of the area, mainly the agri-food sector (with traditional products and dishes) and the deeply rooted culture of cooperation. As a kick-off for the creation of the net between the different actors of the department was chosen the creation of a 'Systemic Buying Group (SBG)'. It enables to start the cooperation between the partners for the success of the pilot project: a large cooperative with its employees as potential clients, a cooperative of local producers and transformers, a little shop working as the bridge of communication between them. At their side operate AZARO fundazioa (a private non –profit centre for entrepreneurship and innovation that promotes the creation of new businesses and the competitive improvement of the business network) as the coordinator of the project and the Systemic Design Group of Politecnico di Torino in the role of project leader. The project underlines the role of design as a deeply interdisciplinary field of work that is able to talk and cooperate with different disciplines to reach a collective goal: the environmental, social and economic sustainability. The SBG becomes the driver of change for the enhancement of the territory and the implementation of systemic design in the area, for an economy based on the quality instead of the quantity. A concrete action that acts on a small scale permits to manage the transition from the design of intangible to tangible.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.4995/IFDP.2016.3309

In an inland southern region of Portugal, pathologies that intersect social and environmental problems have been identified, such as low density, aged and dispersed population, as well as low rainfall and high temperatures. An applied research and development initiative endorsing those problems was carried out by students and staff of the University of Lisbon along two years. This text reflects on this experience and the role of design on such predicaments.The research questions are: how and what kind of innovation can design bring to the community's quality of life in territories under adverse conditions of that kind?A previous analysis, carried out between local authorities and our design school, allowed us to trace two lines of investigation, one aimed at intensifying the flow of people within the territory, and the other focused on promoting the relationship between Man and his environment.Considering that design can contribute to the process of social change, through design for social innovation and collaborative services, we reflect on the main characteristics that the design projects must contemplate, which are: a user-centered perspective; be a participatory process; to draft with a sustainability perspective; adopt a multilevel perspective; to endorse innovation and; sustain problem solving.The research methodology involves the transversal use of design methods and participatory processes, immersion in the territory, collection of primary and secondary data, definition of the concept, development of proposals, communication and validation by the municipal authorities.The results are a set of projects with a wide range of solutions in the field of social innovation, with the aim of valuing social interaction, valuing culture and regenerating the local landscape, namely: a cultural caravan service; a Lab-desk service; a cultural project to reactivate community wood-fired bread ovens; a website to publicize local projects focused on agroecological food; a Center for the Intangible Cultural Heritage; a co-working and co-living service; an environmental festival; a research service aimed at better understanding the needs of the “silent population”; a garden at the historic urban center of Mértola town; a public botanical garden; and, the renovation of a public area in a small village.The relevance of this work lies in the assertion of the potential of design strategies for social inovation, particularly in a context of social and environmental adversity, where design can fullfill a key role valuing the daily lives of populations. This article demonstrates that there is an immense space for work involving the public institutions managing this type of territories and the design academia. From our experience, a transversal line stands out: the intersection between local knowledge and the external population. This converges it the idea that the value that design brings to this kind of community is the drafting of arenas of social interaction where the local social fabric is nurtured and, simultaneously, beholding people´s awareness of the surrounding environment’s frailty.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract The focus of this comprehensive study is the mitigation and prevention of incidents that may lead to potential production loss (LPO) at the Tengiz and Korolev fields, two vital components of the oil and gas industry. These fields confront numerous challenges in production and ongoing operational activities. The primary objective of this research is the development and implementation of an integrated production schedule (IPS) in conjunction with a reservoir simulation model to foresee field production performances and proactively manage production operations. The core of this process revolves around the creation of an all-encompassing IPS that covers the entire spectrum of field operations, encompassing maintenance and various capital projects. This IPS, once established, becomes the cornerstone for a reservoir simulation model that harnesses its data to predict and optimize field production performances. Consequently, this strategic integration enables the efficient administration of production activities. The principal goal of this study is to ensure that through schedule optimization, the minimization of system downtime, effective management of reserve potential, and anticipation of potential LPO scenarios become feasible. The findings derived from this research underscore the practicality and efficacy of employing IPS in tandem with a reservoir hydrodynamic model to guide the operational decisions of company. These powerful tools empower company to proactively anticipate capacity constraints, optimize whitespace utilization, and predict LPO scenarios. This proactive management strategy, which is pivotal for achieving peak performance at the Tengiz and Korolev fields, heavily relies on forecasts generated from both the IPS use cases and white space projections. The account put forth here explores the utilization of Integrated Production Schedule (IPS) in the petroleum and gas industry, suggesting a new and ground-breaking method. This approach is characterized by combining advanced modeling methodologies with an assertive attitude to counteract Lost Production Opportunities (LPO). The two-fold tactic increases understanding within this sector while also supplying beneficial enlightenment on ways field management operations could possibly be upgraded or made more efficient." Building further on the key notions and principles outlined in this synopsis, it is important to underscore the importance of implementing IPS and a reservoir simulation model within petroleum and natural gas sectors. The Tengiz and Korolev fields hold pivotal resources, thus their optimal functioning not only benefits stakeholders but also contributes vastly towards wider energy markets. Given how variable these industries can be, complications are expectedly bound to arise; hence an integrated execution of an IPS helps provide thorough countermeasures for such issues. The holistic method of Integrated Production Scheduling (IPS) offers a deliberate solution to oversee field activities. It includes everything, ranging from the routine upkeep duties to capital projects on a grand scale. Generating an IPS that extends over this broad range permits operators gain comprehensive insight into their operations. This not only boosts every day selections but also aids in long-term strategizing and distribution of resources. The inclusion of a reservoir simulation model significantly amplifies the competency of IPS. This provision helps field operators to forecast production outcomes under an array of circumstances, taking into account facets like fluid characteristics, well performance and reserve pressure. By emulating these situations, they can utilize information effectively for optimizing yield while also foreseeing possible complications. A central advantage with both IPS and reservoir simulation lies within its capacity to actively steer efforts towards output management; this is particularly relevant considering potential LPO cases. Recognizing scenarios in which productivity may be endangered allows measures in prevention ensuring continual operation flow are taken by production planning consultants proactively. Not only does such anticipatory action help reduce downtime but it credits resourceful efficiency too. Moreover, the integration of IPS and reservoir simulation plays a significant role in harnessing reserve potential. A deeper comprehension of reservoir dynamics allows operators to make educated decisions regarding both new well development and existing ones’ optimization. This enhances hydrocarbon recovery whilst consistently ensuring field sustainability. The whitespace notion is introduced as crucial within this analysis—an embodiment of surplus production capacity that may be utilized when necessary. Successful management of such whitespace permits operators swift reaction times towards abrupt demand fluctuations or unexpected productivity hurdles - an essential aspect considering oil and gas industry's rapidly shifting market environment. In summarization, the incorporation of Integrated Production Schedule along with reservoir simulation models signifies a revolutionary stride in petroleum and gas industry. It provides production consultant an advanced comprehensive method for field administration allowing them to enhance production, predict probable difficulties and make well-informed choices. This research validates not just the practicality but also the efficacy of these planning methods; its influence extends beyond Tengiz & Korolev territories into broader industry realms as well. As shifts occur within production operation dynamics, such inventive measures secure their pivotal place in aiding efficient yet lasting productivity.
