In this paper we assess the types of knowledge networks utilised by small-scale farmers in four case studies (located Bulgaria, Poland, Portugal, and United Kingdom). We focus on acquired to inform three new activities being undertaken study participants: agricultural production, subsidy access regulatory compliance, farm diversification (specifically agritourism). Findings demonstrate that are dominated different forms expertise: formal 'agricultural advisors' identified primarily offer...
Adoption of sustainable agriculture innovations is acknowledged to be an effective response agro-ecological challenges, such as climate change, pests, drought, natural catastrophes, and food insecurity. However, its level dissemination still low across the world, particularly in Global South. There a need for better understanding adoption determinants these order enhance them. This paper presents systematic literature review focused on use sociopsychological understand innovations, combining...

Abstract While a substantial body of literature has been built on rural well‐being, due to the great heterogeneity territories, is highly fragmented, even contradictory. Moreover, no systematic review entire domain exists guide decision‐makers. Debated conceptualization, contradicting results, and pressing policy requirements make it timely deliver systematized state‐of‐the‐art well‐being anchor public policies in development domain. By systematically reviewing scholarly all documents...
