Organic Farming and Local Development

This paper examines the growing importance of place-based initiatives in the development of organic farming, analyzing six local cases in terms of objectives, involved actors, governance models, and project trajectories, and discusses operational challenges, success factors, and required professional skills for facilitators.

Descrição detalhada

Organic farming (OF) is increasingly viewed as a strategy to address collective environmental, economic, and social challenges at the local level. This paper charts the evolution of OF development with a growing emphasis on territorial dynamics. Drawing on an in-depth analysis of six place-based initiatives, it examines project objectives, stakeholder roles, governance structures, and project trajectories. The study then discusses the practical difficulties of implementing local organic farming programs, identifies success factors, and outlines the professional skills required by facilitators to support such initiatives effectively.
