This Palgrave Pivot employs the concept of open source agriculture as a new social movement, which not only advocates a specific agenda but also creates technological products under a unique technology development model. The book brings together social movement and technology theory to examine it through two in-depth case studies of open source agricultural communities. This allows for the tracing of values and interests coded within the technological artefacts the communities produce, as well as their development processes. Critical theory of technology is further applied to examine the broader political economy of the development model.

Focusing on the demands of the new innovative, sustainable and inclusive rural development paradigm, the monograph raises the discussion regarding new approaches and success factors that are vital in current rural socio-economic development and policy transformations. The bottom-up policymaking, self-organization, creative use of knowledge in rural areas, and many other rural innovations are aligned in this book with new social movements’ theories, which help disclose, explore and explain the rural development paradigm shift. Rural development forces of the 21st century center on the agents of change - rural population, and, surprisingly - urban population(!), and the political debate concerning EU Common Agricultural Policy and European Green Deal, illustrated with multiple case studies. This book will be of interest to a broad audience of readers, keen on scientific, political, and practical issues of innovations in rural areas and their future development pathways. The monograph is authored by a team of scholars from the Lithuanian Centre for Social Sciences, Institute of Economics and Rural Development, Department of Rural Development.

The book emphasizes the urgent need for robust and inward-looking enabling policy frameworks to help remove existing constraints on agro-industrialization and encourage investments. Thus, the book sets the agenda for the right combination of agricultural, industrial, and trade policies critical in promoting sustainable agricultural commodity value chains and food systems for inclusive growth and poverty reduction. Written in a simple, plain, and accessible language devoid of technical jargons, the book makes an interesting read for even the non-expert and is a valuable reference material for academic and practical training of students and practitioners.

This book offers a research-based, holistic overview of the entire value chain of the global food industry. It captures and defines over 80 contemporary ‘megatrends’ in agriculture and the food market that can be empirically documented and have a major impact on business, economies, industries, societies, and individuals.Today the world is characterized by more uncertainty and unpredictability than in previous periods. In the midst of these changing times, the book demonstrates how a number of more stable trends still exist within global agriculture, which can be important indicators in both the short and long term. The book highlights how developments in agriculture, the food industry and food markets have a central position in policy debates around climate change, sustainability, food crises, hunger, and food supply, and shows how by identifying various megatrends and their underlying economic drivers, as well as potential disruptive forces, we can reduce both risk and vulnerability in the future. Megatrends within consumption, food loss, food crises, international trade, retail industry and ownership of farms are discussed and their relevance illuminated for a wide range of stakeholders, including policy-makers and agri-businesses, as well as farmers and consumers. This book will be a useful resource for researchers in agricultural and environmental economics, as well as policy-makers and professionals in agri-food organisations and public food institutions.This is an open access book.

This book addresses an urgent need to rethink the future of human settlement in the context of significant economic, social and environmental changes, arguing that we must look beyond our current paradigm of ‘sustainability’ to envision a continuously evolving framework for human settlements.The book tackles the role of the service economy in human settlement evolution, filling a major gap in the literature. While service-driven business models are already regularly evaluated and utilized, the social challenges of the service economy – and its positive impacts in exacerbating economic and environmental crises – are poorly understood from the point of view of human settlement evolution. The chapters in this book, based on a new theoretical approach centered around post-industrial and post-anthropocentric perspectives, highlight the need for the innovative design and development of human settlements. The book proposes a framework of six strategies for evolving human settlements that integrates economic, social, and environmental dimensions and explains the logic of the evolutionary path. A set of case studies illustrates practical applications of post-industrial settlements building through the prism of a suggested innovative holistic approach.With its innovative approach and blend of theory and real-world considerations, this book will be a highly valuable read for an interdisciplinary audience of scholars from economics, business, sociology, urban planning, geography, sustainability studies and more.

This book offers an interdisciplinary, historically grounded analysis of competing visions of the bioeconomy and argues for their reconciliation through the concept of oikos: responsible yet adaptive economic stewardship under conditions of ecological constraint and uncertainty. Drawing on political economy, economic history, and anthropology, it proposes a holistic policy perspective that moves beyond the antagonistic imperatives often implicit in the terms “bio” and “economy.” By reframing the bioeconomy as a socio‑ecological project rather than a narrowly technocratic one, the book highlights the need to align economic activity with long‑term ecological sustainability and social responsibility.Placing biotechnology at the centre of this discussion, the volume shows how biotechnological practices have long contributed to the sustainable use of biological resources, well before the molecular biology revolution of the 1970s. It examines contemporary strategies that integrate New Genomic Techniques (NGTs) and AI into national and supranational bioeconomy agendas addressing climate change, resource scarcity, and food insecurity. Increased confidence in the precautionary use of NGTs is linked to their continuity with classical mutagenesis and to growing biosafety knowledge and practical experience. Engaging debates on precaution, innovation, and sustainability, the book surveys enabling policy frameworks that support the safe use of biotechnology in pursuit of the UN Sustainable Development Goals. It will be a valuable resource for scholars, policymakers, regulators, and professionals working at the interface of science, technology, and sustainability governance.
