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.

New Democratic Governance - Reed & Keech ~~ Urban AgricultureNick Lewis
This document discusses a study analyzing urban agriculture and food activism in Bristol, England during its designation as the European Green Capital in 2015. It finds that while grassroots food networks used urban agriculture to express citizenship, they had limited success influencing institutional change. The study analyzed social media related to a community farm, local media coverage, and interviews. It found the food movement in Bristol was ignored by mainstream media. While activists were proud of their local efforts, they were frustrated that larger changes were difficult due to limited resources and policy constraints. The researchers question how effective the city's Food Policy Council structure was at incorporating grassroots perspectives.
The document discusses a case study of the Balaju squatter settlement in Kathmandu, Nepal. It finds that residents are from a variety of socio-economic backgrounds and ethnic groups, with many migrating due to unemployment, poverty, or natural disasters. They engage in informal livelihood strategies like daily labor and small businesses. The settlement lacks basic infrastructure and residents live in vulnerable conditions. NGOs are working to improve livelihood opportunities and living standards, but long-term policy solutions are still needed to address urban poverty in Kathmandu's squatter communities.
This document discusses the concept of multifunctionality in agriculture. Multifunctionality refers to agriculture providing not just food production but also social and environmental benefits. It acknowledges that rural areas are no longer just spaces of production. The document examines approaches to multifunctionality and its merits and limitations. It also discusses how multifunctionality applies in the context of Australian agriculture, where there is a shift toward supporting farmers as environmental stewards but productivism remains dominant.
Globalization is transforming agricultural production and rural communities through increased trade liberalization, corporate consolidation, and flows of labor and tourism. This has led to the intensification of industrial farming techniques, greater foreign ownership of land, and growing inequalities between resource-rich and poor areas. Rural actors have responded through political action and resistance to shape their futures. There is now a "politics of the rural" as communities contest threats to rural identity and land use from these globalizing forces.
The document discusses planning and zoning for commercial urban agriculture. It begins with introductions of the presenters and their goals to define commercial urban agriculture, identify barriers in zoning and regulations, and share ideas for revisions. It then provides a framework and definitions, discusses the spectrum of approaches from community gardens to for-profit urban farms, and identifies common barriers in zoning codes, building codes, and health codes. Finally, it discusses strategies for planning departments to support commercial urban agriculture through comprehensive plans, zoning definitions and districts, use standards, and streamlining approval processes.
This document discusses productivist agriculture, which emerged in the mid-20th century as the dominant model for farming. Productivism prioritizes increasing agricultural production over other considerations through intensification, concentration, and specialization. While productivism has increased food production and lowered costs, it also has significant limitations including the growing control of transnational corporations over the food system, environmental degradation, and declining returns for farmers. The model has contradictions such as overproduction alongside increasing global hunger and the demise of rural communities.

This document discusses the shifting forms of state regulation of rural environments in Australia from early efforts to address environmental degradation caused by agriculture to more recent neoliberal approaches. It explains how neoliberal rationalities have challenged state regulation by promoting market-based mechanisms like payments for ecosystem services and environmental commodity trading. While neoliberalism contributes to nature commodification, attempts to implement these market approaches require ongoing state support and yield mixed environmental and social outcomes that require balanced policy solutions.
This document discusses the changing role of the state in regulating rural areas from government to governance. It explains that neoliberal globalization has led to a blurring of boundaries between public and private sectors, with actors beyond the state now playing an increased governing role. This shift to governance means the state is no longer the sole regulator of rural spaces, with private actors like agribusiness and retailers gaining more influence over standards and regulations. While governance is argued to provide more participation opportunities, critics say it can also foster new inequalities and place additional burdens on communities.
Urban farmers in Eugene, Oregon were studied to understand their political views. There are three types of urban farming: personal backyard plots, commercial farms, and donation-based farms. Through interviews, many urban farmers were found to support measures around sustainability, urban development, and access to food. They vote due to a sense of privilege and desire to enact small changes. Overall, urban farming means building community and teaching sustainability while addressing social issues through food donation.
This document discusses rural development approaches. It begins by explaining why rural development is an important sociological issue, as economic restructuring has negatively impacted many rural regions. It then outlines the modernization paradigm of rural development, which views development as a linear process, but notes this has been criticized for not considering power relations and failing to reduce poverty. The document introduces the new rural development paradigm of endogenous, community-led approaches. It examines this paradigm in the global north, emphasizing self-help and social capital. However, it also notes limitations, such as the risk of further empowering local elites and blaming communities that do not develop as expected.
Factors like ambivalence of the ruling government, population explosion, dearth of housing and land has lead to squatter settlements. The reasons for these settlements are manifold. Read the following article to find out what gives rise to squatter settlements.
This document discusses different approaches to defining and conceptualizing the term "rural". It explains that historically, the idea of rural has evolved from Roman times through colonization and urban expansion. Defining rural is a contested process with significant policy and social implications. Key approaches covered include descriptive definitions based on population and land use; functional associations with agriculture; political-economic perspectives on restructuring; socio-cultural views of rural identity and lifestyle; and social constructionist views of rurality as a represented and consumed concept.
Just in time chances for a holistic approach for land and water governanceGlobal Water Partnership
1. The document discusses the Cisadane Watershed Multistakeholders Forum in Indonesia and RMI's involvement in promoting a holistic approach to watershed management in the area.
2. It describes RMI's projects on river and biodiversity conservation in the watershed since 2009 and their role in facilitating the watershed forum since 2011.
3. A key benefit of the forum and holistic approach is that it allows different stakeholders to have input, acknowledges their different needs, and leads to more comprehensive management plans that address issues like land rights and education.
The document summarizes research on the voting habits and political views of urban farmers in Eugene-Springfield, Oregon. Key findings include:
1) Urban farming encompasses personal backyard plots, commercial farms, and donation-based gardens. Interviews with farmers revealed their priorities around sustainability, community-building, and food access.
2) Urban farmers support political measures around sustainability, urban agriculture, and adequate SNAP funding. They are motivated to vote due to a sense of privilege and desire to enact small changes.
3) Representatives from multiple farms emphasized their goals of bettering the community through examples of sustainable living and engaging more people in food production.
Womens empowerment and increased food security through increased access to la...Global Water Partnership
1) The organization Swadhina worked to empower women in Jharkhand, India through increased access to land and water resources. They formed women's committees to oversee activities and identify key issues of water, land rights, and women's positions.
2) To address water challenges, they constructed irrigation boxes and desilted tanks to improve water storage. They encouraged sustainable farming practices. For land, they reclaimed unused land and introduced new crop varieties. They gave women possession certificates for resources to establish land rights.
3) These interventions improved food security, economic conditions, and women's leadership roles. Women gained confidence through skills training and decision-making power over resources. Community development minimized migration from the area
Issues for people living in squatter settlements in led cs strategiestudorgeog
This document discusses strategies that have been used to improve living conditions in squatter settlements in poorer parts of the world. It outlines four main strategies: individual action by residents, self-help schemes supported by local authorities, site and service schemes provided by local authorities, and other large-scale local authority projects. The strategies range from gradual individual improvements to coordinated community efforts and new planned settlements developed by local governments.
Slum upgrading is a strategy to improve living conditions in slums through physical, social, economic and environmental upgrades done cooperatively between residents, community groups, businesses and local authorities. The main objective is to alleviate poor living standards. Upgrades involve improving both physical infrastructure like water, sanitation and housing as well as social conditions. Challenges include rapid urbanization, achieving community participation, and securing technical and government support. Solutions that have shown success include solar powered water pumps, waste management, and upgrading slums instead of relocating residents.
The villagers of Charda Panchayat in Himachal Pradesh depend on collecting and selling wild herbs for survival. However, overexploitation has led to the disappearance of herbs from their area. With little farmland and few opportunities, they must travel long distances or migrate seasonally to find herbs. Lok Vigyan Kendra, an NGO, helped the villagers of Kut-Batoa village replenish their forests with herbs and establish protection mechanisms. This initiative has led to initial success and two more villages plan to start similar programs. The goal is to make these initiatives self-sustaining and expand to more villages to promote biodiversity conservation and sustainable livelihoods.

Green Spaces Making i Cities Happy , Healthy and Sustainable Places to lLiveJIT KUMAR GUPTA
The document discusses the importance of green spaces in cities. It notes that rapid urbanization is leading to congestion and a lack of open spaces in many cities. Green spaces provide health, environmental, social and economic benefits by improving air quality, encouraging physical activity, reducing stress, and increasing social interaction and property values. However, many factors like unplanned development, high land costs, and lack of priority given to open spaces have resulted in a shortage of green spaces in most cities, negatively impacting quality of life. The document argues that public health should be a key consideration in urban planning and that more priority needs to be given to incorporating and maintaining adequate green spaces in cities.
1) Hiware Bazaar is a model village in Maharashtra that has successfully transitioned from a state of unemployment, alcoholism, and social conflicts to one of prosperity, high literacy, safe drinking water, and participatory governance.
2) A key factor in its success was a watershed development program starting in 1992 that involved reforestation, constructing trenches and dams, and aquifer blasting to increase groundwater retention and irrigation.
3) The village employs participatory decision making through monthly gram sabha meetings, transparency in expenditures, and community management of natural resources through norms and enforcement.

This document provides an overview of community gardening. It discusses the history of community gardening from the Industrial Revolution through World Wars I and II. Community gardening was most popular during times of economic hardship and food shortages. The document outlines the benefits of community gardening, including food production, neighborhood improvement, and community building. It also discusses different types of community gardens and lists some readings and local initiatives related to community gardening. Activities proposed in the document include sketching a garden design and creating a worm farm.
This document discusses perspectives on studying rural sociology. It outlines four main perspectives: functionalism, which romanticized rural communities; neo-Marxism/new rural sociology, which focuses on class, inequality, and the integration of rural areas into capitalist systems; feminism, which examines gender relations and women's roles; and post-structuralism, which questions how macro structures are constructed and adapted locally through discourses. The document also provides context on why the rural is an important area of sociological inquiry, noting its key economic and social roles, and how globalization and policy changes have impacted rural communities.
Fred Yang was born in a small village near the river in the distant hills of Huaihua, Hunan. After University in Hunan, Fred left his home province for the promises of adventure and development in Shanghai. He enjoyed some success as a high school English teacher for eleven years. Later he worked in large western firms in Property Management, but in his success Fred was haunted by one question - "Why am I doing this?" In 2008, propelled by this question, Fred and his wife decided to move back to his hometown to work the land as an organic farmer. After the first year, Fred was convinced that this was was his calling.
In this presentation Fred talks about his 'Rainbow of Hope' project that connects Shanghai families to rural villages. through regular deliveries of organic produce from the countryside, allowing the people of both locals to share the land, resources, culture, and food.
This document discusses the concept of "performing the rural" and identifies different ways that rural identity and life are performed and represented. It explains that performance refers to routine and ritualized actions that contribute to constructions of rural identities. Different levels of performance are identified, from highly staged events to more everyday and routine practices. Specific examples discussed include rural pubs, country music festivals, and the performance of gender roles on farms, which can reinforce social divisions but also be contested.

This document summarizes fishermen's responses to different management options for recovering North Sea cod stocks. It describes 4 options: 1) continuing the current management plan; 2) mixed fishery catch quotas reduced across species; 3) individual vessel catch quotas set at single-species levels; 4) an effort-based system with fishing credits allocated to each vessel. Fishermen expressed concerns about quota levels and reducing catches under all options. Option 3 was seen as the least preferred since a single exceeded quota would require vessels to stop fishing. Enforcement was viewed as easiest under the current system but effects on costs, discards and adapting to controls varied between options.

This document summarizes a research project on farmers' risk perceptions of climate change. The project aims to assess how UK farmers form perceptions of climate change risks and how those perceptions relate to risk mitigation actions. The researcher conducted a literature review finding little prior research on UK farmers. A conceptual framework was developed using a "cultural-behavioral" theory to understand decision-making. Methods included analyzing climate data and newspaper reports. Next steps are to analyze newspapers using qualitative data software and conduct preliminary interviews with farmers.
This presentation assesses the delivery of well-being through the Rural Development Programme for England (RDPE) using a social impact measurement tool known as Social Return on Investment (SROI). It considers whether the goals of Axis 1 and 3 of the RDPE were fulfilled using this technique, and the use of SROI in future well-being measurement.
The document discusses the role of voluntary approaches in regulation. It notes that regulations are not always effective due to assumptions, lack of knowledge, and implementation issues. A case study on nitrate regulations found large differences between predicted costs/benefits and actual outcomes. Voluntary approaches have strengths like partnership and flexibility but also weaknesses like variable commitment and implementation. Effective voluntary approaches require clear objectives, decision processes, measuring outcomes, and recording activities. The regulatory environment involves evidence, predictions, values and implementation at multiple levels. The state should optimize well-being, set objectives, measure outcomes, and provide guidance while voluntary approaches address issues flexibly.
Farmers currently receive payments through agri-environment schemes like the Countryside Stewardship Scheme (CSS) and the Environmental Stewardship Scheme (ELS) to help improve the environment. These schemes are ending and will likely be replaced by new schemes that incorporate payments for ecosystem services. It is an important time for farmers to provide input into pilot programs to influence the design of future agricultural support and environmental protection initiatives.
This document outlines a 3-episode series exploring arguments for and against the existence of God from different perspectives. Episode 1 examines William Paley's clock analogy argument and interviews various people's views on God. Episode 2 looks at explanations of God from religions like Hinduism, Buddhism, and Islam as well as Descartes' perspective. Episode 3 features interviews with people who have had religious experiences and presents more statistics and quotes regarding belief in God. The series aims to get viewers thinking critically about the question of God's existence through examining philosophical, statistical, and personal viewpoints.

This document analyzes tweets from the #ausvotes hashtag during the 2010 Australian federal election. It finds that 415,009 tweets were posted by 36,287 users from July 17 to August 24, 2010. Discussion of political topics increased in the later part of the campaign. Key themes included the National Broadband Network, internet filtering, climate change, and asylum seekers. Politicians dominated retweets and replies, while journalists received more engagement. The #ausvotes community discussed events in real-time but also had its own interests and frames of reference.
The document discusses key concepts in environmental science including sustainability, environmental problems, and solutions. It defines environmental science as the interdisciplinary study of connections between natural systems, human impacts, and potential solutions. The three principles of sustainability are reliance on solar energy, biodiversity, and chemical cycling. Some resources are renewable like sunlight while others like fossil fuels are nonrenewable. Individual and collective actions can help transition societies to environmentally sustainable models that protect natural capital.

Similar to Social Media as Data - Twitter as Qualitative Data (20)
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.

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 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.
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.
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.

The document discusses the benefits of meditation for reducing stress and anxiety. Regular meditation practice can help calm the mind and body by lowering heart rate and blood pressure. Making meditation a part of a daily routine, even if just 10-15 minutes per day, can offer improvements to mood, focus, and overall well-being over time.
The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive functioning. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help protect against mental illness and improve symptoms.
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.
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.
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.

This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.

11. Rural Topics…
• Pro-Hunting
• RSPCA blows £330,000 of charity money persecuting the Heythrop Hunt. Sensible
people will resolve never to give them another penny. (Helmer, Tweet, 19
December 2012)
• Boxing day greetings to Hunt Supporters everywhere. I’m planning to get to the
Fernie Meet in Great Bowden. (Helmer, Tweet, 26 December 2013)
• Anti-litter

Bull cans along country lanes? (Helmer, Tweet, 07 August 2012)
12. Turbines
National Trust: ‘Turbines have grace & beauty.’ No they don’t. They have waste &
subsidy. (Helmer, Tweet, 25 February 2013)
Friends of the Earth Spokesman: ‘We don’t want an energy policy that wrecks our
green & pleasant land.’ He must mean wind farms. (Helmer, Tweet, 05 August

October 2013)
• Linked media
• “IPCC lead author Dr Richard Linden has accused it of having ‘sunk to a
level of hilarious incoherence. Nigel Lawson has called it “not science
but mumbo jumbo”’. The Global Warming Policy Foundation’ Dr David
Whitehouse has described the IPCC’s panel as ‘evasive and inaccurate’ in
the way it tried to dodge the key issue of the 15-year at least pause in
global warming”. (Delingpole 6 October 2013)
14. Local Media
• Very few articles - mostly the letters pages, UKIP electoral candidates
• UKIP has taken a stand and rural communities are voting for their candidates
because of their antiwind farm views. In rural communities traditional
Conservatives have had enough and the sooner local and national
government realise this [the] better. I am pleased my newly elected county
councillor is from UKIP. (Lane-Ley, 2013)
• Of course it is imperative to properly research whether the current climate
change is part of the natural rhythm or accelerated by the intervention of
humanity. (Rapsey, 2013).
• No presence apart from that they assert
