This article presents a critical review of how homecare for rural dwelling older people is framed in policy and policy-related materials to assess the underpinning values in relation to related representations and discourses. Using Ireland as an illustrative case, a critical discourse analysis approach was employed that was informed by spatial justice and ageism as conceptual perspectives. Analysis focused on 53 documents that captured official policy, policy-related material and the broader narrative context of Ireland's policy landscape. A discourse of fragmentation and absence emerged as the overarching discursive theme regarding home care for rural older people in Ireland. However, this narrative was interwoven with and reinforced by a complex array of discourse framings that are layered across rural, ageing and care polices, including: a rural de-prioritization of ageing and older adults; a care and ageing subordination of rural contexts; economic-oriented development; and all-age-inclusion. Findings are discussed with respect to a rural spatial ageism, and the future of homecare reform in Ireland.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":17002,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Rural Studies","volume":"116 ","pages":"Article 103630"},"PeriodicalIF":5.1,"publicationDate":"2025-03-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143799781","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Its impact on the local economy and population structure has sparked considerable debate. Some case studies have shown that it can contribute to de-peasantization, foster internal conflict or exacerbate socioeconomic disparities. By contrast, other studies suggest that it helps sustain peasant economies in crisis. In such cases, it is usually argued that the income generated from tourism plays a vital role in supporting the financial sustainability of peasant households (i.e. complementarity). However, the present paper asks whether, under certain circumstances, tourism can also drive the development of agricultural activity (i.e. synergy) and, consequently, encourage processes of repeasantization. The conclusion of the present study is that it can and does. That said, the synergy between agritourism and family farming requires two preconditions: 1) both the agricultural resources and the resources available for tourism activity are under the control of the local population; and 2) there exist mechanisms for the collective management of these resources. The paper centres on a comparative study of two rural communities in Latin America: one located in the southern region of the Peruvian Andes, and the other located in southern Costa Rica. The research, which has been ethnographic in nature, took place over a long period of time: three decades and one decade, respectively.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":17002,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Rural Studies","volume":"116 ","pages":"Article 103627"},"PeriodicalIF":5.1,"publicationDate":"2025-03-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143579523","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We collect data using qualitative Grounded Theory approach and rely on institutional theory to characterise the CAP types' institutional structures, rules and their potential in terms of continuity, as well as their perceived outcome on society. The results show similarities and differences in the perceived outcomes of these types, as well as in their individual requirements, institutional structures and socio-political agendas. Community-centred types, such as CSAs and CGs, successfully generate political agency and collective structures, yet financial barriers limit broader participation. In contrast, individual-centred types, such as AGs, provide autonomy, but impose high knowledge requirements and lack strong political leverage, which poses crucial challenges for long-term viability. To ensure the continuity of all three CAP types, we propose targeted policy and institutional strategies that enhance accessibility, reinforce inter-institutional networks, and align CAP governance with broader sustainability goals.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":17002,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Rural Studies","volume":"116 ","pages":"Article 103625"},"PeriodicalIF":5.1,"publicationDate":"2025-03-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143550993","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, a social–ecological system analytical framework is constructed to examine the mechanisms through which land trusteeship influences the collective action of farmers in the Chinese context. Land trusteeship was found to encompass three processes of socialization of farmland use, management process, and output, reflecting a broader concept of socialized farmland operation. By using survey data collected in 2023, from 1809 households across 122 villages in 19 Chinese provinces, ordered probit regression, instrumental variable methods, restricted cubic spline regression, and mediation effect models were employed. The findings indicate that: (1) Land trusteeship significantly and positively impacts farmers' collective action. (2) Increasing the scale of land trusteeship does not constrain farmers’ collective action, and results are consistent across various models, samples, and dependent variables. (3) Land trusteeship promotes collective action by enhancing village leadership and fostering the development of cooperative organizations. These findings provide a new perspective on collective action related to land management practices and offer theoretical insights for agricultural transition economies seeking to advance agricultural modernization. Future innovations in land trusteeship should focus on accelerating technological upgrades, optimizing agricultural production conditions, and implementing policy measures to guide diverse stakeholders, including farmers, village leaders, and market entities, to collaborate in rural governance and development.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":17002,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Rural Studies","volume":"116 ","pages":"Article 103622"},"PeriodicalIF":5.1,"publicationDate":"2025-03-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143529434","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Their survival is facilitated by generous public investment and collaborative structures. However, cross-border seasonal workers still face challenges of geographic, social, cultural and linguistic isolation, that enhances the risk of exploitative conditions being undetected, also due to inaccessibility of reporting channels and transnational recruitment processes. Moreover, the short length of stay and the widespread informality in labor relations result in undeclared or partially declared work, which reduces employer accountability.

Factor analysis revealed three distinct viewpoints on the role of fire, ranging from emphasizing the negative impacts of escaped fires on ecosystem services (e.g., on biodiversity and climate change impacts) to acknowledging benefits of intentional fires for rural wellbeing (e.g., that agricultural burns open new farmland or fire as the most accessible way to work the farm). We also found three viewpoints regarding fire management deemed effective: top-down fire suppression, community-based fire suppression, and community-based fire management. Integrating these diverse perspectives, actionable insights for decision making should include: legal recognition of traditional controlled burns, training programs that support volunteer community fire brigades, and integrated fire management solutions at multiple scales (community, district, regional, and national). Our analysis, grounded in the Peruvian Andes, suggests pathways for effective fire governance that can reconcile the different needs, uses, and types of fire.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":17002,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Rural Studies","volume":"116 ","pages":"Article 103610"},"PeriodicalIF":5.1,"publicationDate":"2025-02-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143510069","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It explores the influence of family ties and their impact on adaptation processes. The study draws on diverse datasets to highlight families' role in building adaptive capacity within SSFs.

Additionally, family structures within communities influence key adaptive processes, such as the marketing of harvest within value chains. Our findings emphasize the significance of family as local, informal institutions and networks to strengthen capacity to manage diverse stressors and resources.
