The mountain areas of Europe have been of vital importance in the system of summer farming whereby the movement of livestock between different altitudinal levels is a key element. However, summer farming has been downscaled considerably during the 20th century. The article describes two areas where summer farming is still practised: Forollhogna in Norway, and…
Read MoreA-10/14 Understanding farm succession as socially constructed endogenous cycles
European agriculture is experiencing a recruitment crisis that threatens the continuation of both family farming and associated rural communities. Conventionally, researchers and policymakers see farm succession as driven by discrete factors such as education level, farm size, profitability, enterprise type, and so on. This article offers an alternative perspective. Drawing on in‐depth interviews with 22…

Norway represents one of the last countries in Europe where the structural development of agriculture is strongly state regulated through legislation and economic instruments. The result is an agriculture dominated by very small farms while, in most of the rest of Europe, farming has been rationalised into much larger units – thus improving the structural…

I denne artikkelen drøftar eg den nye distriktspolitikken. Med utgangspunkt i ei tilsynelatande uvesentleg «løesak», syner eg korleis trua på iscenesetting av det lokale og tilbod av distingverande symbolprodukt for den velståande middelklassa har fått innpass i forvaltinga og prega den distriktspolitiske satsinga dei siste åra. Eg er oppteken av kva tankar og idear denne…
