bibliometric analysis; computer software; human nutrition; social change
Abstract:
... Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) plays a significant role in improving consumers' access to fresh and high-quality fruits and vegetables, often at lower prices than in grocery stores. Correspondingly, consumers’ participation in CSAs is connected with their knowledge, attitudes, and beliefs regarding healthy eating. Being of such social significance, research on CSA can attract the attention ...

Abstract:
... Extractive industries often promise prosperity to less economically developed regions of the world. However, projects that rely on extractive industries such as mining often pose significant environmental threats to the host regions. The tension between economic promises and environmental impacts can spark significant conflict in rural communities. This study analyzes a proposed mining project in ...

Abstract:
... Most of the literature on minority ethnic communities' access to green spaces focuses on urban areas and under-representation. There is a lack of research on members of minority ethnic communities who visit rural green spaces, and even less is known about the role community-based initiatives may play in facilitating access to rural landscapes. This paper provides novel insights into motivations fo ...

Abstract:
... Heuristics have been regarded as a promising approach for understanding the fundamental ongoing debate about the heterogeneity of small-scale farmers. In this paper, our objective is to identify the heuristics found among small-scale producers settled in the State of São Paulo, Brazil. The agrarian reform program in Brazil gave the same resource dotation (land) for each settler in the 1980s. All o ...

Abstract:
... Blended finance has emerged as a novel alternative to financing the agricultural sector, which is often riddled with risks and uncertainties. However, investors and financiers are yet to consider blending as the preferred mechanism. Blended finance has not thus attained the status of a mainstream product. The extant literature indicates the problems related to actor moral preferences, but it does ...

Abstract:
... Formalisation of the artisanal and small-scale mining (ASM) sector has come to dominate the discourse on mineral exhaustion, livelihoods, and the persistence of vulnerabilities in ASM settings. Often touted as a panacea to curbing the excesses of informal mining operations, the calls for the formalisation of ASM operations continue unabated. In this paper, we explore how the operations and managem ...

Abstract:
... Rural economies and agri-food systems are strongly affected by institutions and institutional settings, as evidenced by many scholars exploring the impact of agricultural policies. By contrast, intangible forms of institutions (e.g. routines, conventions) inscribed in economic practices and their interplay with formal institutions are not yet well understood within the field of agri-food studies. ...

ISSN:
0743-0167
Subject:
geography; journals; rural areas; spatial distribution
Abstract:
... Geographic edges are distant, sparsely populated regions understood by some scholars as being fundamentally different from areas classified as rural. In some cases, the epistemological view in relation to sparsely populated regions is deterministic. Here, sparsity is seen as derivations of ‘geography’; relative location as remote and the extreme environmental characteristics of the place. In this ...
