Abstract

The unique challenges of rurality for communities and business are explored here with reference to the horticultural project within the only female prison in Italy, located in the Giudecca island in Venice. Since 1994, inmates here have transformed the rurality of the geographical location of the prison with its six thousand square meters of cultivable land, into a lucrative business able to generate emotional and financial wellbeing. The first part of this contribution highlights how by introducing and sustaining the method of organic farming when growing vegetables to be sold at the local market, the women incarcerated set up a social enterprise, undoubtedly able to challenge the social sources of the ecological and financial crisis faced by the city of Venice – culturally and geographically positioned away from any rural environment. As well as a form of self-redemption as stated in the law 26 July 1975, n 354, which identifies employment either inside or outside a penal institution as one of the key elements for the rehabilitation of offenders, in the Italian financial landscape “taking the rural out of prison” and turning it into a lucrative enterprise tells a story of how at times it is possible to halt, albeit momentarily, a spiral of poverty and financial hardship. The counterpart of this endeavor is discussed in the concluding section of this contribution which aims to put under scrutiny the almost oxymoronic rubric of “green capitalism” which in the context of Italy rests in the production of a paramount contradiction: the clash between an economy once based on unending agricultural growth and the current desiccation of the natural environment. carceral and the
洋蓟和新鲜蔬菜:让农村走出监狱
在这里,我们以意大利唯一的女子监狱园艺项目为例,探讨了乡村社区和商业的独特挑战,该监狱位于威尼斯的朱代卡岛。自1994年以来,这里的囚犯已经把监狱地理位置上的乡村,以及6000平方米的可耕地,变成了一项有利可图的生意,能够产生情感和经济上的幸福。这篇文章的第一部分强调了被监禁的妇女如何通过在种植蔬菜时引入和维持有机农业的方法,在当地市场上销售,建立了一个社会企业,毫无疑问,能够挑战威尼斯市面临的生态和财政危机的社会根源-文化和地理位置远离任何农村环境。1975年7月26日第354号法律规定了一种自我救赎的形式,该法律将刑事机构内外的就业确定为罪犯改造的关键因素之一,在意大利的金融环境中,“将农村从监狱中解放出来”并将其变成一个有利可图的企业,讲述了一个故事,讲述了有时如何可能停止,尽管是暂时的,贫困和经济困难的螺旋上升。这一努力的对应部分在本贡献的结论部分进行了讨论,该部分旨在仔细审查“绿色资本主义”的几乎矛盾的标题,在意大利的背景下,绿色资本主义的生产取决于一个最重要的矛盾:曾经基于无休止的农业增长的经济与当前自然环境的干燥之间的冲突。Carceral和
