Entrepreneurship in Rural Areas and Sustainable Development - to What Extent Self-Government Activities Support them. A Case Study of Opole Voivodesh…

2020

Entrepreneurship acts as a catalyst for resolving many economic and social issues. It is often seen as the key factor in driving employment rates in rural areas, particularly among young people. It significantly impacts the overall development of the region, including the quality of life. More job opportunities help create employment for a number of people within their own social system. More specifically, it encourages young and well-educated people to stay in village areas which otherwise become increasingly depopulated. This brings us to a problem; to overcome the existing challenges, rural areas must not only drive the development but also ensure its sustainability. Sustainable rural de…

L'estivage en Savoie du nord au Moyen Âge. Essai de chronologie et de typologie

2004

International audience; A partir de l'exemple de la Savoie septentrionale (massifs du Mont-Blanc, du Chablais, etc.), ce travail montre que les moines, non plus que les seigneurs laïcs, n'ont pas déserté les pâturages alpestres à la fin du Moyen Âge au profit des communautés paysannes. Mais la permanence des acteurs ne doit pas masquer la transformation des structures, qui se manifeste principalement par la transformation des droits d'usages sur les alpages en parts sociales.

The paper deals with geographical names in Silesia deriving from the names of tree species. An analysis of the names derived from appellatives, allows for a reconstruction of the categorization methods of the world, anthropological conceptualization, and a popular image of reality. Name creators choose names derived from the appellatives which are for certain reasons important and valuable for them, from the existing collection of names. For example, the following names of trees and shrubs become a productive toponymic base: oak, birch, alder; they belong to the basic categorization level and are important for the rural community due to their usable and practical significance (in constructi…

The aim of this study is to know Italian consumers’ preferences for Pasta and consumption habits. Food culture and concerns about food security and product innovation were investigated.

Intrinsic and extrinsic high quality, which derives from growing and production technolo…

Food between Health and Society

2017

Food culture has undertaken a process of renewal due to severe food safety problems occurred in the late 20th century: the so called mad cow disease (BSE, Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy) or the swine flu and bird flu. So long, safety needs were the beginning of a new consciousness about food and diet influence on human health. The demand for quality food is moving toward qualitative food features. This is a great challenge and a new opportunity for agriculture: to supply valuable goods and new services, to a wide range of consumers, searching for local, ecological, ethical, healthy requisites, from food and country. A new sensibility is also growing about urban life quality; overcrowded c…
