Rural Therapeutic Landscapes & the Animality of Care Farming - by Richard Gorman

This document outlines an evaluation of the Water and Integrated Local Delivery (WILD) project in the Cotswolds and Swindon area of the UK. The WILD project aims to improve river ecosystems through partnerships between farmers, local communities, and agencies. It is led by the Farming and Wildlife Advisory Group and evaluates the impact of integrated local delivery on enhancing ecosystem resilience. The evaluation found evidence that the project engaged stakeholders, improved communication and knowledge, and helped tackle multi-layer challenges at the local level. However, it also found that facilitators and government agencies need to give local partners more independence. The project implications include the need for government agencies to better integrate issues like water, flooding, and biodiversity, as well

Gonser gerber webinar final

This document is a summary of a webinar on 2013 individual tax laws and their implications for philanthropy. It discusses changes to income tax rates including an increase in the top individual rate to 39.6% and the capital gains rate to 20%. A 3.8% healthcare tax also applies to investment income over $200,000. The estate and gift tax exemption increased to $5.25 million and is portable between spouses. Direct charitable contributions from IRAs are allowed for those over 701/2. Planning should focus more on income than estate taxes due to high exemptions and fewer subject to the estate tax.

Diazepam Addiction Hotline

marklarkin15

Diazepam is a benzodiazepine commonly prescribed to treat anxiety, seizures, and other conditions, but carries risks of addiction if misused or taken long-term at higher doses. While it effectively treats symptoms when used properly, misuse can lead to dependence and withdrawal symptoms like anxiety, insomnia, sweating, and shaking. Researchers have found benzodiazepines cause addiction through effects on GABA receptors in the brain, similarly to opioids. Treatment for diazepam addiction is available through inpatient or outpatient rehabilitation programs.

The presentation covers ethics rules around competence and confidentiality that are important for both professions. It also explains when social workers should refer clients to attorneys, such as for legal advice regarding estate planning, guardianship, and Medicaid eligibility. The presenters are experts in elder law who provide their contact information.

Research Ethics - Dr Malcolm MacLean

This document summarizes a PhD candidate's research on access to the countryside in Ireland. The candidate is investigating recreational access issues due to limited public rights of way and the lack of a right to roam. The research involves qualitative interviews and case studies of two partnership projects that have negotiated access to land through local agreements between community groups and landowners. The conceptual framework analyzes concepts of private property, common pool resources, social capital, and partnerships.

Organic 3.0 Future of Organic Movement

This document discusses the future of the organic movement. It argues that Organic 3.0 will focus on participation and de-commodifying food rather than consumerism. Examples of participatory models include community-produced vineyards, CSAs where membership involves work, and urban gardening cooperatives. While Organic 1.0 focused on holism and Organic 2.0 on consumerism, Organic 3.0 will prioritize participation. The document also notes challenges like maintaining livelihoods and accountability in more participatory systems.

Urban Agriculture: charting the new democratic governance of food production

This document summarizes research on urban agriculture and food production in Bristol, England. It discusses how social movements in Bristol have created over 100 grassroots food projects and established a Food Policy Council to democratically govern the local food system. The researchers analyzed social media, interviewed key actors, and observed projects to understand how these initiatives build a sense of community and commoning around food. Their conclusions discuss how this movement challenges the limitations of the contemporary food system and debates new frameworks for civic participation around food production beyond consumerism.

Sabrina Dreaming - Severn Estuary Tidelands

Most rivers have sacred personifications – in the form of tutelary deities. For the River Severn, this is ‘Sabrina’, or ‘Hafren’ in Welsh]. The project will seek to expand and deepen the ways in which water landscapes are encountered and understood – scientifically, artistically and socially. Layers of industry, agriculture, vegetation, soil, rock and water make up the territory of the Severn Estuary. Cultural layers of prehistory, history and story and myth are enduring sources of conjecture. All of these – together with the human and non-human communities – fuse to form the ecology of the estuary, which has the second-largest tidal range in the world. This residency project will initiate new conversations and involvements by developing film/sound/music-based artworks, extracting some of the hidden and intangible essences of this water landscape. As Artist In Residence, Antony Lyons will also draw on his own extensive previous work on water environment themes (pollution, climate-change, biodiversity, working water communities etc.), and link into CCRI research streams relating to ecosystem services, water/food security, landscape and community issues.

English rural development over the past 25 years: the limits of government

Assignment 4 my three topics for documentray

jodiefoster96

Jodie Foster-Pilia is producing a documentary and has identified several potential topics: Does God exist?, Subliminal messages on television, and Is advanced technology an advantage or disadvantage. She conducted interviews about these topics with 6 people ranging in age from 11 to 45. Based on the interviews and her own interests, Jodie is leaning towards exploring the topic "Does God exist?" for her documentary as it seems to generate a strong debate and she feels knowledgeable about issues relating to God from her philosophy studies.

Chambliss 2014 Estate Planning Seminar.pptx

This document provides an overview and agenda for an estate planning seminar in Tennessee that discusses recent changes to Tennessee's tax laws that make it more favorable for trusts and estate planning.

Jumping Scales and Producing peripheries.pptx

Sania Dzalbe is a PhD student in economic geography at Umeå University in Sweden who studies how people in rural areas adapt to crisis and adversity. Drawing from her upbringing in rural Latvia, she notes the importance of social reproduction in sustaining rural livelihoods, which often goes overlooked in traditional regional economic analysis. She argues that the concept of resilience is connected to the concept of loss, as during moments of crisis and major restructuring, societies lose not only jobs and industries but also the very mechanisms through which they shape their environment, both physically and socially. Current resilience studies in economic geography tend to disregard the role of social reproduction and the losses experienced by individuals by predominantly focusing on firms and economic production. However, to understand the evolution of rural regions and communities amid various challenges they face, one must recognize that social reproduction cannot be separated from economic and knowledge production processes.

Soil Governance in Australia and priorities for engagement with farmers.pptx

Footage for the associated seminar: https://youtu.be/Z0Hkt7Sf0VA The talk will focus on the current state of soil governance in Australia, alongside the recently released National Soil Strategy and debate how knowledge exchange on sustainable soil management is progressing. The need to maintain a healthy and functioning soil that is resilient and less vulnerable to climate change and land degradation is an ever-present goal. Yet to achieve this goal requires a critical mass of soil scientists who can effectively undertake research and more importantly people who can communicate such knowledge to farmers so that soil is protected through the use of landscape-appropriate practices. Decades of government de-investment and privatisation have led to a diminished and fragmented workforce that is distant from, rather than part of, the rural community, and farmers are also increasingly isolated with few functional social networks for knowledge exchange. Is it possible to chart a course that can see this decline in expertise and local soil knowledge corrected, and restore to it vitality and legitimacy?

Latvian Meadows: Past, Present & Future!

Presentation made to CCRI as part of our seminar series. Footage of seminar: https://youtu.be/tWcArqtqxjI Latvian meadows are inextricably connected to the Latvian identity. An identity built on the concept of the industrious peasant working their own land, free from the oppression of tyrannical regimes. This cultural association also feeds into the mid-summer festivals as the women weave the flower-filled crowns and people collect herbal teas to ward off illness over the winter. These biodiverse havens are under threat, as they are neglected or replaced with improved grasslands with their higher yields but lower diversity.

1) The document discusses research into how social and intellectual capital contribute to collective environmental action through Countryside Stewardship Facilitation Fund (CSFF) groups in the UK. 2) Key findings indicate that while CSFF funding aims to develop social capital, most knowledge sharing currently occurs between members with close ties, and there is limited evidence of collective environmental action. 3) Continued support is needed to strengthen relationships, facilitate knowledge exchange across different actor groups, and provide funding to enable CSFF groups to deliver landscape-scale environmental improvements over time.

The potential for local governance of the rural environment: A case study in ...

Professor Ian Hodge's seminar for the CCRI on 24th October 2022. There are two emergent movements in the governance of rural land: voluntary and local government initiatives that assess, plan and enhance landscape and biodiversity and a largely separate central government initiative for the development of Environmental Land Management (ELM) schemes as a key element of national agricultural policy. This is developed and implemented by central government with a relatively large budget. These two movements should be better integrated through the development of a system of Local Environmental Governance Organisations (LEGOs). A LEGO would stand as a ‘trustee’ with a remit to protect and enhance the quality of the local environment in the long term. It can assemble evidence on natural capital, co-ordinate amongst stakeholders and work with them to identify local priorities for nature recovery. It would search for synergies and collaborative partnerships and raise funds to support priority projects. A key point is that a proportion of central government funding should be devolved to LEGOs. This would link the vision being developed locally with the capacity to generate financial incentives for land managers to change land management. Natural Cambridgeshire as the Local Nature Partnership is developing a number of the attributes of a LEGO. It is engaging with and appears to have support from a broad variety of stakeholders and is energising actions at several different levels. Through a local deliberative process, it can have a much clearer view of local opportunities and priorities than can be possible via central government. Natural Cambridgeshire has begun to raise funds but the likelihood is that this is will be too little, relatively short term and unsystematic. Longer term core funding would give Natural Cambridgeshire the capacity to back up proposals with financial support, potentially matching funding from other sources. It would then need to monitor and audit the implementation of projects and report on expenditure and outcomes. Over time it would adopt an adaptive approach to respond to outcomes and changing threats and opportunities. National government needs to establish a framework for the development and operation of a system of LEGOs. It would continue to act in support of national standards, both through regulation and investment to meet international commitments, such as for biodiversity and climate change.

Local food marketing in Bristol and Oslo: Same but different

The presentation will give a brief overview of the 'UrbanFarmer' project and its various facets, including the integration of a cohort of Norwegian farmers and agricultural research organisations in the co-production of applied knowledge. The main thrust of the presentation will be to present similarities and differences in the way that food in short food supply chains is marketed through different farm enterprise business models, and different sales channels. Differences in policy backdrops and other, related, contexts which help or hinder urban marketing through short food supply chains concluding with some ideas of emerging recommendations will also be explored. Dr Anna Birgitte Milford is a researcher at Norwegian Institute of Bioeconomy Research, working on topics related to sustainable food production and consumption, including organic/pesticide reduced fruit and veg production, local sales channels and climate friendly diets. She was a visiting scholar at CCRI, University of Gloucestershire in autumn 2021 conducting field research on urban agriculture and local sales channels in Bristol. Dr Dan Keech is a Senior Research Fellow at CCRI, University of Gloucestershire. His research topics cover European urban and alternative food networks, Anglo-German cultural geography and trans-disciplinary methods which link art and social science.

This document contains a presentation on research into bovine tuberculosis (bTB) and the related controversy over badger culling in the UK. The presentation discusses the research gap around understanding disease management practices and controversies. It outlines an ethnographic methodology to study multiple perspectives on the issue. Key findings include observations from badger culling operations and protests against culling, as well as results from a citizen science study on bTB prevalence in dead badgers. The presentation emphasizes how disease management practices shape understandings of disease and that controversies can foster alternative perspectives.

Urban Sustainability - Nature-based solutions and ecosystem services

Presentation given by Dr Alessio Russ 8th July for CCRI seminar series. Over the last few decades, the school of thought surrounding the urban ecosystem has increasingly become in vogue among researchers worldwide. Since half of the world’s population lives in cities, urban ecosystem services have become essential to human health and wellbeing. Rapid urban growth has forced sustainable urban developers to rethink important steps by updating and, to some degree, recreating the human–ecosystem service linkage. This talk addresses concepts and metaphors such as nature-based solutions and wellbeing, ecosystem services, nature-based thinking, urban regeneration, urban agriculture, urban-rural interface, rewilding.

Going the Extra Mile in Monitoring and Evaluation – the GEM Story

The Going the Extra Mile (GEM) project aims to help people overcome challenges to employment and move closer to or into work. An evaluation team from the University of Gloucestershire conducted extensive monitoring and evaluation of GEM using both qualitative and quantitative methods. Process evaluations found that GEM provided innovative, relevant support during the pandemic. Outcomes evaluations found improvements in areas like skills, confidence and social connections. A social return on investment model estimated £2.50 returned for every £1 invested in GEM. Inclusive evaluation methods like digital storytelling captured personal impact stories. The evaluation aims to inform the design of any successor to GEM.
