Seamus Boland the future of rural areas

This document discusses the future of rural areas like Ballyhoura and the opportunities and challenges that may exist in 2031. It notes that traditional farming subsidies have not fully harnessed rural economic potential and that a new paradigm is needed with a focus on places rather than sectors. Rural areas depend on services like transportation, healthcare, education, and local businesses, but these services face threats from issues like declining populations, costs, and technology. The document examines scenarios around the current economic crisis, global context, energy/environment, and community capacity. It emphasizes community-led planning, enhancing community assets, and continuous skills training to build resilience in rural areas going forward.

The document introduces the concept of solidarity economy (SE) as an alternative to capitalism that democratizes the economy. Key aspects of SE discussed include ethical banks where savers choose how money is used, worker cooperatives owned and operated by employees, and participatory budgeting where citizens decide local government spending. The development of SE is described in various regions, and strategies proposed to further SE in Asia include creating national networks to connect stakeholders, developing a wiki to share SE information, and increasing collaboration with Latin America where SE is more established.National Urban Policy

Universal basic income (UBI) is a government program that provides all adult citizens a regular, unconditional sum of money to cover basic needs. UBI aims to reduce poverty and inequality by giving everyone a minimum level of financial security. It has five key components: it is universal, provided periodically, to individuals in cash without conditions. India's Economic Survey advocated UBI as an alternative to existing welfare schemes. Proponents argue UBI could reduce poverty, increase demand, ease implementation, and allow people more time for themselves by reducing work hours without loss of income. However, concerns remain around the feasibility and costs of implementing a UBI program.Social Protection in Rwanda

The document summarizes the formation and activities of the Georgian Alliance on Agriculture and Rural Development (GAARD) in Georgia. GAARD united 19 stakeholders representing 2600 smallholder farmers, 181 private sector entities, and 100 agricultural experts. It was initially formed informally to advocate for a law on agricultural cooperatives, then formalized through a memorandum of understanding. Key achievements included passing the legal framework for agricultural cooperatives, establishing a platform for policy dialogue between government and civil society, and accumulating expertise in agriculture and rural development. Lessons learned focused on ensuring sustainability, accountability, and clearly defining constituencies represented by the alliance.Liquor a billion dollar business
Liquor a billion dollar businessJohn Wilfred
油
The liquor industry in India is a billion dollar business that generates significant tax revenue for many states. Initially used as a pain reliever, alcohol became highly addictive and prevalent in rural areas. More than a fifth of the alcohol produced worldwide is now consumed in India. State governments in India control liquor production and sales to different extents, with some states running wholesale and retail operations while others privatize retail. Liquor taxes account for 20-22% of some states' total revenue. However, the health and social costs of India's drinking culture outweigh the financial gains, as hazardous drinking is widespread and healthcare expenses related to alcohol exceed the tax revenue it generates.Social Accountability

This document discusses the changing role of the state in regulating rural areas from government to governance. It explains that neoliberal globalization has led to a blurring of boundaries between public and private sectors, with actors beyond the state now playing an increased governing role. This shift to governance means the state is no longer the sole regulator of rural spaces, with private actors like agribusiness and retailers gaining more influence over standards and regulations. While governance is argued to provide more participation opportunities, critics say it can also foster new inequalities and place additional burdens on communities.SOC226 Topic 11

Globalization is transforming agricultural production and rural communities through increased trade liberalization, corporate consolidation, and flows of labor and tourism. This has led to the intensification of industrial farming techniques, greater foreign ownership of land, and growing inequalities between resource-rich and poor areas. Rural actors have responded through political action and resistance to shape their futures. There is now a "politics of the rural" as communities contest threats to rural identity and land use from these globalizing forces.Brussels Briefing 53: Lotta Folkesson '' Best practices and successes of wome...

The document examines the economic integration of refugees in five host countries: Uganda, Ethiopia, Kenya, Jordan, and Malaysia. It finds that the level of integration varies significantly based on countries' legal policies regarding refugees' right to work. Uganda provides the most progressive policies, granting refugees wide-ranging rights and opportunities to work. Ethiopia and Kenya have historically enforced strict encampment policies but are making efforts to relax these. Jordan has gained recognition for initiatives facilitating refugees' access to the formal labor market. While Malaysia allows refugees to stay informally, it lacks a formal framework supporting integration or durable solutions.

Rural poverty in India is caused by several economic and social factors. Economically, low agricultural productivity due to traditional farming methods, unequal land distribution, decline of village industries, lack of employment opportunities, and lack of labor mobility all contribute to poverty. Socially, lack of education reinforces the poverty cycle, the caste system historically subordinated the lower castes, and debt from expensive social/ceremonial occasions and money lenders traps many in poverty. The Indian government aims to reduce poverty through programs that promote self-employment, guarantee rural employment, provide subsidized food grains, and empower disadvantaged groups through education, healthcare and equal opportunities.HRBD Needs Vs Rights

It outlines a framework where MDBs focus on addressing market failures through regulation, policy advice, and public-private partnerships to "crowd in" private sector investment. MDBs can catalyze both direct private investment in projects they finance as well as indirect investment in related areas through demonstrations of new markets and risk mitigation. The document provides examples of how MDB investment and advisory services can mobilize total financing that is several times the size of their initial investment.Issam Chleuh

Specifically, it proposes establishing a national authority to facilitate capturing Ireland's competitive energy advantages through developing various renewable sources like wind, hydro, biomass and more. This authority would ensure obstacles are removed and returns on investment are over 10% to attract funding. This could make Ireland an energy exporter and create many jobs while boosting rural communities through developing local resources and industries.From farm to landscape and further: Increasing the capacity for integrated re...

This document discusses the challenges facing agricultural systems due to climate change, shifting consumption patterns, increasing food and energy prices, and land degradation. It notes the transition from cereals to meat and high-value crops requiring more resources. Smallholder farmers play a central role in driving development but face increasing pressures. There is a need to redefine research agendas to address issues like competition over land and environmental services, economic disparities, and poverty. Approaches should focus on smallholders' innovations, systems thinking, collective action, and multi-level economic and social organizations. Capacity building for innovation is needed at the individual, organizational, partnership, and institutional levels.An inclusive and green transformation- The Nordic way

This document summarizes a foresight exercise conducted by the JRC on global food security by 2030. It defines foresight as a process that explores future changes through qualitative and quantitative analysis to support shaping future strategies. The exercise gathered experts to identify key drivers of change and develop a vision of a preferred future where food security ensures adequate supply. The vision emphasizes a demand-driven, sustainable food system through trade, regulation and governance. Challenges to the vision include uncertainty around trade, urbanization's impact, and need for EU policy coherence across a food systems approach.Rural urban-partnership-for-economic-development

The document discusses challenges and opportunities for rural tourism development in Ireland to 2031. It questions assumptions made in another paper about the certainty of future tourism markets given economic and environmental uncertainties. It also challenges whether demographic projections will hold true and if pension and cost of living issues could impact disposable incomes. The document advocates re-examining markets and pursuing innovation and sustainability. It questions if rural areas effectively promote their natural and cultural assets or could improve local knowledge sharing. New destination determinants like integrated experiences, green perceptions, and community well-being are proposed for consideration.RD Conference ppt Breda Quinn final

This document summarizes a presentation by Dr. Brid Quinn on strategies for organizing public services in Ballyhoura, Ireland in the context of changing needs and reduced resources. The presentation discusses trends, challenges, scenarios, and potential solutions. It advocates taking an asset-based approach that emphasizes local strengths rather than deficits. Specific recommendations include empowering local communities, professionalizing volunteers, developing leadership, providing different types of integrated services, and ensuring joined-up thinking across levels of government.Prof Cunningham Building The Knowledge Eeconom

This document discusses building knowledge economies and measuring their success. It notes that knowledge is now the principal source of wealth, unlike in the past when natural resources were most important. While GDP growth is needed, it does not ensure broader societal benefits like trust, security and happiness. Alternative metrics try to capture these, like the UN's Human Development Index. Linking investments in knowledge to economic and social returns is challenging due to variability in impacts and benefits over different timescales. The EU is making some progress through comparisons across its 27 countries.Dr Tony Linehan Paper

This document provides an overview of tourism trends and opportunities in rural Ireland through 2031. It summarizes tourism performance in 2009, with overseas visits declining 12% due to the economic downturn. Hiking and cultural attractions like historic sites remained popular activities. The document also outlines expected demographic changes through 2031, with Ireland's population projected to grow 20% to 5.4 million. This growth and trends like an aging population and increased domestic tourism present opportunities for rural tourism products focused on activities, food, education, and cultural heritage. The document advocates for destination branding and developing high quality rural tourism experiences to capitalize on these opportunities.Bord gais final potential for renewable gas in ireland

The document discusses the potential for renewable gas, specifically biomethane, in Ireland. It finds that Ireland has significant potential to produce biomethane from waste sources and surplus agricultural materials. Under a baseline scenario, biomethane could meet 7.5% of Ireland's natural gas demand by 2020 and help Ireland meet its renewable energy targets. Biomethane production would provide benefits by utilizing waste, reducing landfill, lowering greenhouse gas emissions, and increasing energy security. The economics of biomethane require support mechanisms but blending it into the existing natural gas network could provide renewable thermal energy at competitive prices.Ifa tom turley

Tom Turley, Chairman of the IFA Rural Development Committee, responds to Gerry Boyle's paper on the future of rural areas to 2031. He makes several key points in his response:
1) Agriculture and rural areas will play a significant role in Ireland's economic recovery. Agriculture is a major exporting sector that will drive recovery.
2) Agriculture supports over 260,000 jobs in farming, food production, and related services, representing 20% of employment outside Dublin.
3) Ensuring a viable income for farmers through better coordination between farmers and food processors is needed to support rural economies.
4) Policy changes like CAP reform post-2013 and changes to milk quotas will require investment andBallyhoura Presentation 2031 -Dr. Tony Lenehan

This document discusses opportunities for tourism and recreation development in rural Ireland and the Ballyhoura region from now until 2031. Key points include:
- The population is projected to grow older overall, increasing demand for heritage, culture and health-focused tourism.
- Rural tourism experiences centered around nature, outdoor activities, and local food could capitalize on trends of escapism and authentic experiences.
- New tourism products like glamping have grown and cater to both domestic and international markets seeking short breaks.
- Segmenting consumers' needs like stimulation, serenity and affiliation can help develop appropriate tourism offerings for the Ballyhoura region.
- Continued development of attractions, activities, accommodations and partnershipsBallyhoura Tourism presentation 2031 -Gordon Clarke

This document discusses opportunities for tourism and recreation development in rural areas like Ballyhoura up to the year 2031. It outlines key demographic trends in Ireland that will impact tourism, including an aging population and growth in younger age groups. Rural tourism products will need to cater to these changing demographics by offering experiences focused on stimulation, serenity, and affiliation. The document also examines tourism trends and the need to develop high quality, distinctive products and services to attract both domestic and international visitors. Stakeholder partnerships will be important to support sustainable rural tourism growth in communities over the coming years.Cathal Renewable gas presentation 12.11.10

This document discusses the potential for renewable gas, specifically biomethane, in Ireland. It notes Ireland's renewable energy targets and outlines how biomethane could help meet targets for electricity, heating, and transport. The document examines biomethane production from various feedstocks like agricultural waste and surplus grass. It provides examples of biomethane production facilities in other parts of Europe and estimates Ireland has the potential to produce over 400 million cubic meters of biomethane annually. The document also discusses the costs of producing biomethane and maps out the potential from grass biomethane in the Ballyhoura region of Ireland.Prof Cunningham

This document summarizes Ireland's progress toward becoming a knowledge-based economy as well as ongoing challenges. Key points:
- Ireland has made progress increasing investment in R&D and the percentage of the population with tertiary education to approach EU averages, positioning it as an innovation "follower."
- Metrics now show Ireland on par with the EU-15 average, though the target is to match leading innovative countries like Finland, Sweden, and Denmark.
- Ongoing challenges include effectively linking public research to both foreign-owned and indigenous business sectors and maintaining momentum to reach innovation leader status within about 10 years.Rita mc nulty

It notes upcoming plans to update the rural development policy and identifies issues like economic downturn, governance challenges, and the need for stronger policy coherence and evaluation.Ad
Seamus Boland the future of rural areas
- 1. The Future of Rural Areas ? What will the Global Services landscape look like in 2031,what will it mean for Ballyhoura and where are the opportunities for investors, businesses, farmers, individuals and communities across the Ballyhoura Development area?
- 2. Paradigm Shift Traditional policies to subsidise farming have not been able to harness the potential of these economic engines. (OECD) Promoting rural development, poses policy challenges that requires co-ordination across sectors, levels of government, and between public and private actors. Countries are considering a paradigm shift in their approaches to accommodate such important challenges. The most defining characteristics of this shift are a focus on places rather than sectors and an emphasis on investments rather than subsidies.
- 3. We are where we are Rural development thinking Dependency on subsidies Role of Partnerships Current economic situation Resilience
- 4. Rural Economic Activities Food Services Farming Tourism Manufacturing Information Technology
- 5. Food Food is worth 20bn of our GNP and 8bn of total exports. All monies stay in Ireland Ballyhoura and other Leader companies have lead the way The Leader Tent at the ploughing is an example
- 6. Services Transport Access to a range of Health services. Access to training and to further education Accesses to local services i.e. post office, local banking, fire stations. Water - The collection of waste - Child care - after school activity Youth provision. Rural security - rural policing - Community alert. Financial services Environmental services fuel water landscape protection
- 7. Service Threats Post Offices Transport Non-specialised health care Technology Cost of everything Services to the local economy
- 8. Carnegie Findings Growing the capacity of people, agencies and professionals who support rural communities; Enhancing community assets of all kinds Community-led planning An enhanced role and community groups Centre for Excellence supporting rural community development policy and practice on the ground.
- 10. Scenarios Current crisis Global Context Energy/Environment Economic Drivers Social Services Community capacity
- 11. Future Ireland Findings New forms of cross-fertilisation between the economy, society and public governance. Innovation and learning are systematic and should confront challenges at three levels institutional, inter-personal and personal; Systematic review. Innovation and learning cannot flourish, without profound change to our organisational systems, particularly our systems of control and accountability
- 12. Reflections Ballyhoura region will be influenced by the current recession. All economists agree that the effects of decision making buy government will still be felt in 2030. it is likely that systems of delivery will always be devised on the basis of cost. Services that are not commercially viable will require the assistance of the state, through its various agencies and also will depend on the capacity of voluntary organisations. The innate advantages of Ballyhoura in terms of its capacity to develop its agriculture and food sector is essential. Its nearness to Limerick is a positive. Community planning coupled with a continuous programme of community skills training is essential.
- 13. Reflections Future re-organisation of local, regional administration will influence investment in the region Ballyhoura as a potential catalyst can initiate strategic partnerships that are recognised by national and international agencies. Opportunities to develop non agricultural and food activities will be broadly complimented by the overall performance of food and agriculture. A concerted plan that develops new and innovative up- skilling and re-training will enhance the regions ability to attract investment. Environmental themes will need to permeate all regional plans, so that the region will be competitive
