Abstract

Long-term rural competitiveness and sustainability have increasingly less to do with cost-efficiency along the traditional agriculture filière and more to do with the ability of firms and institutions to innovate in terms of its portfolio of goods and services, namely the way rural territories build up their competitive advantages on the basis of their heritage.
The book chapter discusses the necessity to promote development characteristics based on the identity of the different spaces, their history, their material and immaterial resources. This redesign on rural policies should necessarily aim with engaging with the right targets, namely the institutionalized inertia which characterizes many rural regions, trying to stimulate the whole milieu. This new approach can be seen as an instrument of establishing a learning framework for all partners involved on the construction of a collective socio-economic trajectory.
Territories marked by rurality need to reinvent their economies and broaden their economic menu, making the rural world more and better available to the market, at local, national and global levels.
