Abstract

Innovation is a context-dependent and institutionally steered process. The problems that require innovations are today often complex environmental problems. Socially seen, environmental problems are solved through the development of resilient and sustainable social and economic systems. We integrate the controversially discussed ideas of resilience and sustainability in the broader framework of coupled social-ecological systems for the analysis of special forms of agriculture in urban areas. Technical innovations need to be matched with political, economic or civil society action of many actors, institutions or social groups. The social processes of development and change show that innovations require change or transformation of social behaviour of certain social groups and actors with different interests and aims. We analyse the social components of innovation processes, based on case studies of peri-urban agriculture and urban gardening, to show behaviour changes and social transformation processes required for the solution of environmental problems.

RETHINK—Farm Modernisation and Rural Resilience, was a transdisciplinary research project supported by the European Commission and funding bodies in 14 countries under the umbrella of FP7 and the RURAGRI ERA-NET.

See, furthermore, in this book, the chapter from Fassi and Sedini, discussing an interesting case COLTIVANDO —The convivial garden at the Politecnico di Milano. The recently published book by Calori and Magarini (2015) gives examples on sustainable food policies from more cities; our text describes the processes of transformation to sustainability in broader terms, as more complex social processes from which the food policies are only a part.
