Towards the new Common Agricultural Policy for Biodiversity: custodian farmers for sustainable agricultural practices in the Apulia region (South of Italy)
No full textThe international debate on biodiversity has become increasingly explicit and predominant in different disciplinary fields, requiring efforts especially on a regional scale. The future Common Agricultural Policy will be integrated and strategically connected with the objectives of the Green Deal and biodiversity protection, requiring new approaches, especially at local level. Through a review of the international literature and programming documents, the path of a significant case in the south of Italy, the Apulia region, characterized by a progressive loss of biodiversity in agriculture, will be traced. The regional government has launched a significant initiative called “custodian farmers” within the framework of the CAP in the two programming cycles 2007-2013, 2014-2020 for the protection and maintenance of biodiversity. Using a combination of different sources, we will focus on this initiative to evaluate its weight and significance at the regional level through cartographic analysis. The results will be critically analyzed and will provide reflections for the future.Le débat international sur la biodiversité est devenu progressivement plus explicite et prédominant dans différents champs disciplinaires, nécessitant des efforts surtout à l’échelle régionale. La future Politique Agricole Commune sera intégrée et stratégiquement liée aux objectifs du Green Deal et à la protection de la biodiversité, nécessitant de nouvelles approches, notamment au niveau local. A travers une revue de la littérature internationale et des documents de programmation, le parcours d’un cas significatif dans le sud de l’Italie, la région des Pouilles, caractérisée par une perte progressive de biodiversité dans l’agriculture est examiné. Le gouvernement régional a lancé une importante initiative appelée “agriculteurs gardiens” dans le cadre de la PAC dans les deux cycles de programmation 2007-2013, 2014-2020 pour la protection et le maintien de la biodiversité. En utilisant une combinaison de différentes sources et données, nous nous concentrerons sur cette initiative pour évaluer son poids et son importance au niveau régional grâce à une analyse cartographique. Les résultats seront analysés de manière critique et fourniront des réflexions pour l’avenir

Towards a Visionary Approach for rural areas. From the key features to planning the future of LEADER
Full text linkThis book is the outcome of reflection on past observations, previous and current studies, discussion with scholars and international experts, seeks to provide a critical picture, both normative and constructive, of LEADER, with special attention to the local level, in view of the future programming, in order to better understand it through the examination of its main characteristics in which the transition from a territorial to a visionary approach clearly emerges.
The assumption that guides this work, explained in the course of the different sections, it is based on a misunderstanding created especially on an operational level. An attempt has been made to formulate a logical framework, summing up and comparing different and opposing approaches to LEADER (sectoral/traditional and visionary) emerging from the scientific debate, relevant European cases and field research.
The study reconstructs the main features emerged, taking into account the style and planning approach, the aims of a local project, the interpretation of innovation and of local resources, and the role of local actors. According to our assumption, these characteristics can reveal the approach adopted at the local level and can therefore be seen as indicators for the understanding, interpretation and self-assessment of practices. Our assumption is that the LEADER method should move in the direction of the visionary approach in order to achieve full implementation especially on a local scale

RETHINKING AGRICULTURAL WASTE FOR BIOENERGY IN RURAL AREAS: AN APPLICATION MODEL FOR THE PROVINCE OF FOGGIA (APULIA REGION)
No full textRecent studies and international policy agendas increasingly focus on waste geographies and the balance of sustainability goals in energy policies, revealing problems especially in the implementation at local scale.
Although the use of residual biomass from agricultural and livestock waste for energy production currently represents one of the most promising alternative sources for energy production and the achievement of sustainable development goals, including waste reduction, polluting emissions, conservation of valuable assets, landscapes and biodiversity, it is poorly promoted and developed due to various limitations. This research aims to develop a sustainable model for energy production from agricultural waste with the appropriate technology, still little considered but compatible with local resources, values and constraints. Specific local characteristics and potentialities are considered, using a qualitative-quantitative methodology applied in an area of particular interest in the Apulia region
Atlante delle concentrazioni spaziali socio-economiche in Europa: una proposta
No full textL’obiettivo di questo volume è riflettere sulle interpretazioni e rappresentazioni delle concentrazioni spaziali socio-economiche in Europa, intese come configurazioni dinamiche e interconnesse, in cui il contesto territoriale e il sistema di relazioni sono fondamentali per lo sviluppo regionale. La metodologia sviluppata prevede diverse fasi, i cui risultati confluiscono nell'Atlante dinamico delle concentrazioni spaziali socio-economiche in Europa, strumento dinamico in quanto utilizza dati aggiornati confrontandoli nel tempo, offrendo in tal modo una lettura spaziale e multidimensionale delle dinamiche regionali
Can GIS Foster Conscious and Critical Learning in Geography? An Application from Students to a Real Case Included in the National Strategy for Inner Areas: Monti Dauni, Apulia (Italy)
No full textDigital technologies, the use of which has progressively increased over the last few years, could represent key tools in learning and active citizenship in development processes. In this sense, Geographical Information Systems (GIS) have gradually become an integral part of various disciplines and sectors. Even if the relevance and diffusion of GIS in the educational and pedagogical fields are increasing, their potential is still under-explored in the development of empowerment for participatory planning. Regarding the combination of geographical education and information technologies applied to the territories, the contribution they offer to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) is a question which remains little-investigated, and which represents both an innovative field of experimentation and significant opportunities, especially for marginal, inner areas. However, recent reforms, in particular in Italy, are considerably reducing the role of geography in the curricula, which is paradoxical for such complex contexts and the understanding of major global issues. The risk is that of producing a gap between the functional use of the tools and the capacity for their critical application. This paper aims to reflect on the integration of Geography and GIS through teaching experimentation, as applied to a real case study in the Apulia region (Monti Dauni Area) under the national strategy for inner areas, in order to understand how to use GIS as an active tool in education for sustainability, the awareness of the value of local resources, and active citizenship
