This book discusses the future of rural development and the recognition of the growing importance of 'place-based economies' where the unique attributes and assets of individual places determine their attractiveness for particular types of activities and investments. New understandings of competitiveness and conceptualizations of a new economy underline the importance of making strategic investments in community infrastructure. Doing things, at the local and regional scales, matters and not doing things has consequences. Topics include seasonal economies, amenity migration, IT industries, green energy and transportation developments.

This publication is a product of the experiences and lessons learned while implementing agroenterprise projects in eastern and southern Africa. A Market Facilitator's Guide is based on a resource-to-consumption framework, which is the central theme of the "enabling rural innovation" approach for rural development. This approach seeks to empower farmer groups with the necessary skills to make informed decisions for their economic development, based on an analysis of their surroundings, assets and skills. The methodology also aims for outcomes that are equitable, gender focused and participatory.

For two centuries or more, the United Kingdom was continuously becoming more urbanized. Some time in the 1960s, however, a remarkable reversal in this trend began. Multiple explanations of this phenomenon have been suggested, many of which focused on the quality of life offered by the countryside or - alternatively - on the disadvantages of the urban environment for establishing small businesses. Researchers and agencies such as the Rural Development Commission are concerned with these developments in order to implement appropriate policy to assist smaller businesses in the countryside. The present studies concentrate on non-agricultural activities in rural areas, with special focus on the individual firm. The research presented makes a comparison between small enterprises in rural areas and broadly similar firms located in towns and cities. Five key themes are identified: formation rates, formation 'types,' problems facing urban-rural firms, performance of urban-rural firms, and policies. Overall, there are some differences between small enterprises established in urban locations and those established in rural areas; however, many of the problems of operating a business are the same irrespective of location, and hence cannot be attributed to rurality. Differences were noted in the types of business and the motivations for starting a business, depending on location. These themes are explored in a series of research reports presented in individual chapters. Rural entrepreneurship has distinct handicaps and advantages; strategies of support agencies and public policies need to distinguish between the process of establishing a small business in a rural area, and establishing one in an urban area. Results of the Cambridge SBRC (Small Business Research Centre) survey covering small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in manufacturing and business services are discussed, with its conclusions concerning the urban-rural shift of business activity and employment. Another study examines the growth and survival of mature manufacturing SMEs in the 1980s, established in urban and rural areas. A sample of manufacturing SMEs from remote rural locations was compared with the development of a similar group of SMEs located in London, in terms of their capacity for growth and the adjustments they have made over the decade with respect to products and markets, production processes, location, ownership and organizational change. An examination of possible spatial variations in the equity investment in SMEs found no evidence to suggest that firms in remote rural areas are disadvantaged in terms of access to equity finance. Evidence also indicates that equity aversion amongst firms in the RDA (Rural Development Areas) sample is lower than in the other areas. A study of small service sector enterprises took a very different approach than most studies of the significance of spatial differences between small rural and small urban businesses. The present study was based on a bottom up view of the small firm using direct evidence drawn from a close study of small businesses in services in different parts of Britain. A careful selection of localities provides the spatial element. The main focus is on the differences between business in a predominantly rural area, North East Suffolk, and businesses in four urban localities. The findings do not reveal a clear contrast between the rural area's small services businesses and their counterparts in the urban areas. (AT).

Analysing the ongoing changes and dynamics in rural development from a functional perspective through a series of case studies from the global north and south, this volume deepens our understanding of the importance of new functional and multifunctional approaches in policy, practice and theory. In rural areas of industrialized societies, food production as a basis for growth and employment has been declining for many decades. In the Global South, on the other hand, food production is still often the most important factor for socio-economic development. However, rural areas both in the industrialized north and in the global south are facing new challenges which lead to significant changes and threats to their development. New forms of food production, but also new functional (e.g. housing or business parks) and often multifunctional approaches are being discussed and practiced yet it remains unclear the extent to which these result in better or more sustainable development of rural areas.

Managing the ability of agriculture to meet rising global demand and to respond to the changes and opportunities will require good policy, sustained investments, and innovation - not business as usual. Investments in public Research and Development, extension, education, and their links with one another have elicited high returns and pro-poor growth, but these investments alone will not elicit innovation at the pace or on the scale required by the intensifying and proliferating challenges confronting agriculture. Experience indicates that aside from a strong capacity in Research and Development, the ability to innovate is often related to collective action, coordination, the exchange of knowledge among diverse actors, the incentives and resources available to form partnerships and develop businesses, and conditions that make it possible for farmers or entrepreneurs to use the innovations. While consensus is developing about what is meant by 'innovation' and 'innovation system', no detailed blueprint exists for making agricultural innovation happen at a given time, in a given place, for a given result. The AIS approach that looks at these multiple conditions and relationships that promote innovation in agriculture, has however moved from a concept to a sub-discipline with principles of analysis and action. AIS investments must be specific to the context, responding to the stage of development in a particular country and agricultural sector, especially the AIS. This sourcebook contributes to identifying, designing, and implementing the investments, approaches, and complementary interventions that appear most likely to strengthen AIS and to promote agricultural innovation and equitable growth. It emphasizes the lessons learned, benefits and impacts, implementation issues, and prospects for replicating or expanding successful practices. The information in this sourcebook derives from approaches that have been tested at different scales in different contexts. It reflects the experiences and evolving understanding of numerous individuals and organizations concerned with agricultural innovation, including the World Bank. This information is targeted to the key operational staff in international and regional development agencies and national governments who design and implement lending projects and to the practitioners who design thematic programs and technical assistance packages. The sourcebook can also be an important resource for the research community and nongovernmental organizations (NGOs).
