Description
This book presents the methodology and results of a three-year, eleven-country science-to-policy research project - Toward a Policy Model of Multifunctional Agriculture and Rural Development - undertaken between 2005 and 2008 and financed under the European Union's Sixth Framework program. It deals with an important contemporary policy issue: how best to ensure that an agriculturally-based policy can contribute to the development of rural regions. It tackles this problem in a number of different but complementary ways, primarily by the development of a unique and innovative dynamic systems model, POMMARD (a Policy Model of Multifunctional Agriculture and Rural Development).
Reviews / Votes
"Towards Sustainable Rural Regions in Europe is a highly suggested reading for policy-makers and scholars interested in rural development and, more generally, rural areas. The authors and editors view rural development as a whole-embracing phenomenon that touches every aspect of human life." - International Journal of the Commons, Constantine Iliopoulos, Agricultural Economics Research Institute, Athens, GreeceMore details
