Lokale matprodukter, kundepreferanser og biologisk kulturarv : Oppsummering av en kundeundersøkelse i Gävleborgs län, Sverige og i Trøndelag Fylke, Norge
- 2020
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Denne undersøkelsen er gjennomført innenfor rammen for Interreg-prosjektet «Biologisk kulturarvsom bærekraftig verdiskaper». Prosjektet har fokusert på det potensialet som småskala produsenterhar i å synliggjøre de natur- og kulturverdiene som er koblet denne typen matproduksjon.Forbrukerundersøkelsen som presenteres i denne rapporten ble gjennomført ved to utsalgssteder iSverige og to i Norge. I Sverige foregikk spørreundersøkelsen i Gävleborgs län, ved matfestivalenMoläta i Järvsö og ved setra Svedbovallen like utenfor Järvsö. I Norge ble den samme undersøkelsengjennomført i Trøndelag, ved Eggjenseteren i Snåsa og ved Mathallen Smak og Behag i Oppdal.Undersøkelsen ble gjennomført som en kombinasjon av spørreskjema og oppfølgende intervju. Itillegg er også resultater fra en pilotstudie ved Gregoriemarknaden i Sverige diskutert i rapporten.Forbrukerundersøkelsen fokuserer på fire hovedtemaer: a) hvordan informanten/kunden ser på dennetype bedrifter (företag) og hva de setter pris på ved besøket, b) hva kunden assosierer med det å handleslike lokale matprodukter, c) hvilke naturverdier og biologisk kulturarv de assosierer slike produktermed, d) hvilken bakgrunn kunden/informanten har.Omtrent halvparten av informantene i denne undersøkelsen svarer at de kjenner til selve begrepet«biologisk kulturarv». I og med at koblingen mellom lokale matprodukter og natur- og kulturarv ikkeer tydelig for alle kunder, bør det ligge et potensial i å formidle denne kunnskapen, slik at den kanbidra både til å styrke økonomien og bærekraften til virksomhetene. Resultatene viser også at mangeav kundene verdsetter den opplevelsen det er å besøke slike utsalgssteder. Dette inkluderer blantannet opplevelser knyttet frivillig arbeid (volonärer), drikke kaffe, oppleve spesielle landskap og hakontakt med dyr. Det sosiale samværet ved å besøke matfestivalen, markedet, setra eller det lokaleutsalgsstedet er også noe som påvirker kundenes opplevelse av produktene. Mange avinformantene/kundene i denne undersøkelsen viste seg å ha en indirekte/historisk geografisktilknytning til utsalgsstedet. Resultatene viser derfor at det kan være viktig å henvende seg tilutflyttere, hytteeiere og andre lokale/regionale turister/turistaktører for å danne seg et godtkundegrunnlag både for produktene og opplevelsene som tilbys.Våre resultater viser at salget av lokale matprodukter må anses å være en del av denhelhetsopplevelsen som tilbys. Produktene, til sammen med opplevelsene og aktivitetene må derforsees på som en pakkeløsning som kundene er villige til å betale for. Småskala matprodusenter børderfor sette fokus på helheten og ikke bare fokusere på kvaliteten til matproduktene.

Gastronomy and tourism as a regional development tool- the case of Jämtland
- 2012
-
Ingår i: Advances in Food, Hospitality and Tourism. - 2043-8907. ; 2:1, s. 2-10
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This article highlights how farm dairies in Jämtland combine gastronomy and tourism as an integral part or a component in their marketing strategies. These activities have been promoted and supported by authorities and NGO’s. Farm dairies contribute to tourism by producing gastronomic products that can be served by local restaurants and hotels, but they are also visiting targets for tourists and create important work opportunities in the villages. As a precursor in using gastronomy and tourism to promote regional development the experiences of Jämtland are of a high relevance for the future development in Sweden

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The use and implementation of Geographical Indications (GI) is a wellestablished practice in most EU countries. Previous studies show thatthe use of PDOs and PGIs is directly related to previous experiencesas well as the relative importance of the agro-food sector in a country'seconomy. In the case of Sweden, the agro-food sector has beenoriented towards continuous structural rationalization since at least the1930's. However, the transformation pressure exerted by a risingcompetitive level in the market, that emanates both from global aswell as regional European sources led to the adoption of newstrategies. These strategies entail the on-farm elaboration of farmproduce, the diversification of activities as well as the use ofcertification schemes. In the case of Kalixlöjrom, the strategy selectedwas the adoption of a PDO, as a way of entering a valorisation processfor export purposes as well as defending the product against dislojalcompetition of products with less quality. As this is the firstexperience with a PDO in Sweden, the case of Kalixlöjrom caviaroffers a rare opportunity to understand the actual problems inimplementing a policy tool developed by Southern European countriesin a country like Sweden. Thus the article highlights the institutionaland structural shortcomings discovered in this process and offers newknowledge and reflections valuable for the future adaptation andimplementation of previously unknown policy instruments

Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This chapter studies the internationalization of the Swedish–Danish dairy corporation Arla. During a period of 100 years the dairy sector went from being at the focus of national and regional interest, the industry has become global. In some geographical markets, or in particular market areas, these transnationals – corporations as well as cooperatives – may compete fiercely, and their growth strategy is often to merge with or acquire local producers. However, these multinational firms also actively cooperate in other areas (e.g. in branding or distribution) or on other geographical markets. This may take the form of strategic alliances, such as joint ventures. Thus, coopetition – cooperation and competition – has been a common recent strategy. In the case at focus in this study, Arla Foods a.m.b.a. mergers are conducted with cooperatives in European countries, while businesses that are located further away are taken care of through exports and joint ventures. The main contribution of this article is that it employs internationalization theory and places the globalization of cooperatives in the middle of the academic discussion about internationalization. A recommendation for further studies is to both dig deeper into the changing nature of cooperatives historically, but also to look closer at the strategic deals that global expansion of cooperatives is based on.

Challenges for the New Rurality in a Changing World : Proceedings from the 7th International Conference on Localized Agri-Food Systems
- 2016
-
Proceedings (redaktörskap) (refereegranskat)abstract
- Challenges for the New Rurality in a Changing World was the title of the 7th International Conference on Localized Agri-Food Systems. The contributions in this volume are written by conference participants. The themes highlighted relate to four topics. The first topic refers to various aspects of the articulation of the New Rurality and its challenges and opportunities, with a specific focus on the Nordic countries, the countries surrounding the Baltic Sea, and the Eastern European Countries. Also in focus is the role of knowledge in the promotion of rural development and ‘glocal’ links as enablers of opportunities and sources of challenges in relation to entrepreneurship and rural development – in theory and practice in particular Europe and the Americas. The second topic highlights various aspects of territorial governance and localized agri-food systems in particular Europe, North and South America. The third topic relates to the impact of the market on localized agri-food systems, with a special focus on short food chains, public procurement and tourism. The fourth and final topic highlights questions related to the connection between localized agri-food systems and the environment. Special interest was devoted to possible synergies, (organizational) innovations and challenges between localized agri-food systems and environmental benefits, proposing agroecology as a framework for action in the transition from conventional production to more sustainable agro-food production systems.

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Over the last decades a great effort for rural development policies in Sweden has been to find windows of opportunity for the future, to promote new types of enterprises, to support farm and firm diversification, to identify novel business models and in general promote growth. But while many concrete measures have focused on lowering the entry barriers to the market and support the supply side of the rural economy, a glimpse on the emerging technological paradigm, e.g. internet based development and social technologies, indicates that new solutions are possible. In this article we address the following question: Can Alternative Food Networks (AFNs) in combination with social technologies promote rural entrepreneurship and economic growth?

Naturresurser, sågverksbolag och bönder : konflikter i Västernorrland 1863-1906
- 2018
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- During the nineteenth century, competition over forestland and waterways grew in Northern Sweden. This increased the pressure on existing institutions of natural resource governance. It culminated with a ban on private acquisition of woodland from smallholders in 1906. This thesis deals with how the local communities handled the institutional challenges of this process. I study two geographical areas connected to different stages in the chain of production, from the inland of standing timber to the downstream sawmills. Previous research states that the sawmill industry in this region used its position in local governments to gain economic advantages. The number of votes were related to the value of one’s property and income, which put forest and factory owners in a favorable political position. Another claim from previous works is that the local courts, in general, constituted a place for settling local natural resource conflicts in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. The two research questions extracted from this are: What role did formal political and legal institutions play in managing conflicts about natural resource use? What disagreements occurred in the different parts of the sawmill industry's production chain? The aim is to better understand natural resource conflicts between the local community and the sawmill industry, across the production chain, in the county of Västernorrland, 1863-1906. To capture the regional differences, I study one industrial municipality – Gudmundrå, and one raw material municipality – Junsele. An iterative methodological approach is used. I find that the local government was not a significant arena for natural resource matters, in contrast to what could be intuitively expected from the literature. Sawmill companies did use their politically dominant position to influence the local community, however not in matters of resource management in this case. The local court was more important. These conflicts were often about property rights regarding contracts and the use of waterways and forestland, and damages imposed by this. Local farmers often initiated cases. This is in line with what the literature suggested on the role of local courts as the arena for settling private economic matters among locals. However, the nature of the conflicts changed over time and differed vastly between the two geographical areas. The results show that the conflict types were different in Gudmundrå and Junsele due to their geographical location, which provided a ground for different links of the sawmill value chain. The results also reveals that key institutional changes were characterized of both top-down and bottom-up processes. One example is local farmers who were involved in the processes of setting the terms for log driving routes. They served as an important link of the value chain that connected the raw materials to the saw mill industry’s production.

Food and Rurality in Europe : Economy, Environment and Institutions in Contemporary Rural Europe
- 2014
-
Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (refereegranskat)abstract
- This book is the result of a workshop about localized agri-food systems held at biannual conference of the International Farming Systems Association in 2010. All articles depart from the reality experienced by rural agents in Europe. Some of the main concerns of rural Europe today include institutional and cultural questions, socio-economic perspectives as well as urgent environmental topics. All of these perspectives are present in this book.A common point of departure of most articles is small scale agriculture and/or local food production. Several of the contributions highlight the growing concerns about food freshness and food security, which are often linked to a demand for traditional cuisine. Some chapters also underline the importance of cooperation between small-scale farmers and food artisans, including their market and branding strategies. European and international branding/quality schemes, such as PDO/PGI, regional trademarks and the Ark of Taste are thoroughly analyzed and linked to the articulation of localized agri-food systems. The contributions also highlight an interesting contrast in the perception of “local” and the strategies of territorial organization used in in different parts of Europe.

Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Antologin Från matproduktion till gastronomi belyser aktuella frågor kring livsmedel och måltider. Förändringarna inom detta område illustrerar på flera sätt dagens samhällsutveckling. Boken består av tre tematiska delar.”Strukturella förändringar och aktuella trender” tar upp efterfrågemönster, institutionella förhållanden, interaktion mellan olika aktörer och varumärkesstrategier. Fokus ligger på småskalig livsmedelsproduktion.”Måltider och måltidskultur” tar upp kulturella och sociala faktorer bakom förändringar av popularitet, status etc. hos olika livsmedel. Här behandlas också betydelsen av miljön kring måltiden och av restaurangsektorns utveckling.”Maten och naturen” tar upp hur lokalproducerade livsmedel påverkas av naturmiljön på produktionsplatsen och hur deras lokala identitet kan användas i marknadsföringen. Vidare behandlas hur lokal produktion kan gynna naturvården i odlingslandskapet.

Genus och företagande
- 2017
-
Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Forskning om genus och företagande/entreprenörskap, är ett brett forskningsfält som utvecklades i skärningspunkten mellan å ena sidan teorier om entreprenörskap och å andra sidan genus och feministisk teori och där företaget, arbetsmarknaden, familjen och staten är de mest centrala elementen. Genusperspektivet utgör en av samhällets viktigaste organiseringsprinciper, medan företagandet ses som viktigt för att främja tillväxt, skapa arbetstillfällen, mm. Att studera genus och företagande i kombination är därför viktigt för att förstå de krafter som formar vår historia, vår samtid och vår framtid.Denna bok har sin utgångspunkt i nämnda forskningsfält och är resultatet av en workshop som organiserades av forskningscentrat EnterForum, på Södertörns högskola under december 2015. Temat för workshopen var Politik, Företagande och Genus. Med utgångspunkt från ett genusperspektiv analyseras hur ekonomisk utveckling och samhällsprocesser har lett till uppkomsten av nya näringar, samt hur teknik och politik i samverkan kan leda till att kvinnor trängs undan i vissa näringar, om genus påverkar företagens möjligheter att överleva på lång sikt, kvinnliga företagares syn på kvinnors företagande, hur socialt entreprenörskap kan vara katalysator för kvinnors rättigheter, tillika hur samhällsentreprenörskap kan leda till såväl politiskt inflytande som breddade försörjningsmöjligheter, samt vilka utmaningar och möjligheter kvinnliga hästföretagares i tätortsnära verksamheter möter i sin dagliga verksamhet.

Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Företag är självklara inslag i det moderna ekonomiska livet. Människor har i århundraden startat och drivit företag, de har köpt varor och tjänster av företag och säkert i många omständigheter även sålt, varor eller tjänster till företag, eller den egna arbetskraften mot en löneersättning. Företag spelar en mycket viktig roll i samhällsekonomin. Genom att producera varor och tjänster koordinerar företag användningen av resurser i form av råvaror, arbetskraft, teknologi och kapital. Utan företag skulle var och en av oss behöva lägga oändligt mycket tid på att få tag på sådant som vi behöver för att tillgodose våra grundläggande behov. Att behöva producera allt vi behöver skulle också vara tidsödande, dyrt och leda till stora välfärdsförluster både för samhället och för enskilda individer. En effekt av att företag organiserar produktionen av varor och tjänster är att de specialiserar sig på en eller ett fåtal varor och tjänster. Detta gör att de genom sina erfarenheter och interna kunskapsutveckling kan effektivisera produktionen så att vi kan nyttja de resurser som varje företag tar i anspråk på ett så effektivt sätt som möjligt. Företag är dock inte en enhetlig massa. Det finns små, medelstora och riktigt stora företag. Företag kan vara privat eller statligt ägda och några verkar väldigt lokalt, medan andra verkar i många olika länder samtidigt. På grund av sin speciella ställning i samhällsekonomin har företaget och företagandet haft en självklar roll som studieobjekt inom ekonomisk historia. Detta kapitel ger en översikt över de viktigaste forskningsfrågorna och teman inom ekonomisk historisk forskning.

- The lion’s share of entrepreneurship research highlights conditions in core regions, while entrepreneurship in peripheral areas has been less studied. This longitudinal study aims at exploring the interplay between the peripheral contexts of island and archipelago communities and firm outcomes - paying special attention to spatial variations and non-linear temporal dimensions. We focus on the survival of all firms active on 17 islands in the Stockholm archipelago, Sweden during a 20-year period (2000-2019). Using longitudinal multilevel modelling, we find that - despite being a seemingly ‘homogeneous’ place - spatial and temporal variations, however small, would have substantial effects on the conditions for everyday entrepreneurship in these communities. Our results show that firms located on islands with higher population density and seasonal dependability face increased probabilities of exit, while access to digital ecosystems, local services in the form of kindergartens, and year-round grocery stores decrease the probabilities of exit. Islands with thicker institutional context, indicating trust and community support, lead to higher survival rates.

- A lion's share of entrepreneurship research highlights conditions on core-regions, while entrepreneurship in peripheral areas has been less studied. This study aims at exploring the interplay between the context of island and archipelago communities and firm outcomes – paying special attention to spatial variations and non-linear temporal dimensions. Our focus lies in firms founded in 17 islands of Stockholm Archipelago, from the beginning of 2000 to the end of 2019. Using longitudinal multilevel modelling, we find that — despite a seemingly ’homogeneous’ place — spatial and temporal variations, however small, would have substantial effects on the conditions for entrepreneurship in these communities. Our results show that firms located in islands with higher population density and seasonal dependability face increased probabilities of exit while those in islands with access to digital ecosystems, local services in the form of kindergartens and year-round grocery stores have decreased probabilities of exit. Islands with thicker institutional context, indicating trust and community support, are related to increasing survival rates. Distance to market was found to be insignificant in terms of survival.

Before the invention of the “New World” Argentinean and Chilean wines in Sweden before 1950
- 2019
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Before the new world became a concept related to the upswing of wines from Australia, Latin America, New Zealand, South Africa and the United States, occasionally, wines from these countries could be sold in countries like Sweden. One such point in time was during WWII, when importing wines from Europe became impossible and a very short window of trade opened-up between Argentina, Chile and Sweden. This paper partially describes this story, based on the scarce sources found at the archive of the former Museum of Wines and Spirits in Stockholm. The purpose of the paper is to shed light on the amount of wine imports from Argentina and Chile during the trade window between Sweden, Argentina and Chile caused by WWII. Some sources analyzed are sales statistics of the Swedish wholesale and import monopoly Aktiebolaget Vin & Spritcentralen, price lists of the regional alcohol monopoly in Stockholm (Stockholmssystemet) and by analyzing the labels of the wines found in the archive. Some of the questions to be answered are: How much wine from Argentina and Chile was sold during the studied period? Who were the exporters? Why was this trade window opened and closed?

Bringing the Consumer Back in—The Motives, Perceptions, and Values behind Consumers and Rural Tourists’ Decision to Buy Local and Localized Artisan Food—A Swedish Example
- 2018
-
Ingår i: Agriculture. - Basel : MDPI. - 2077-0472. ; 8:4
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This article highlights the motivational factors behind consumers’ and tourists’ decisions to buy local artisan cheese in Jämtland (Sweden). Empirically, the case itself diverts from the typical Franco-Mediterranean case in which both the actions of producers and consumers are embedded in historical, long-term culinary traditions and territorial features, nor is it the typical farmers’ market or another market-driven direct produce system. The main purpose is to shed light on the motivational factors behind the purchasing decision of consumers and tourists by studying the attributes that consumers embody in the products. The article is based on two consumer surveys/short interviews, the first conducted in June 2012 and the second in February 2017. The results were tested against/related to the wider local food discussion conceptualized through four types of attributes. Namely, intrinsic and extrinsic attributes; post-modernity and environmental attributes; geographical and territorial attributes; and local and rural development attributes. The results in this article clearly show that consumers value a combination of different attributes from both market-driven direct produce systems and close typicity systems. Therefore, the construction of proximity from the point of view of the consumer can be derived from a complex set of attributes and motivational factors not normally highlighted in the localized food discussion

Based on results from focus groups and one group interview conducted in eight landscapes/counties during 2013 and a state initiated evaluation of the NCCP, the study answers the following questions: What does the NCCP mean in terms of governance? How is power distributed and if possible, which are the consequences of this new governance regime? Which are the main challenges and opportunities of and for the NCCP? The results show that the NCCP has led to a higher degree of regional coordination of actions and resources at regional level. Cooperation and coordination in turn have proved to be the main factors behind the most successful experiences.

- Over the last decades a remarkable process of rural development based on the revival of local culinary heritage has been set in motion all over Sweden. In Västernorrland and Jämtland, two counties that share the same culinary heritage and history and at least in some parts, have common geographical features, the shift towards this culinary place based development has been quite different. Differences can partly be explained through institutional explanations. But as will be showed by this study, there are also important historical and other reasons behind different patterns. What was left of a once common culinary heritage has been decisive for the possibility of economic success. In this article the main emphasis is put on how the nature and character of culinary heritage influences the possibility of promoting rural development.

- This article highlights the impact of the of the hydro-power plant Alto Maipo, on a localized agri-food system (LAFS) in Cajón del Maipo (Chile). Although extensive research was done before starting the construction of Alto Maipo, the possible impact on transhumance and thereby on the ancient LAFS in the area that carries important elements of the cultural heritage and national identity has until now been neglected. Results show how an exogenous impact on the local institutions that linked landscape, people, animals and products together in the conformation of a LAFS have been disturbed through the creation of alternative income opportunities and enforced change. Current events generated alternative short term income opportunities, but also a long term negative impact on livelihoods and nature.

Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Este artículo hace énfasis en el impacto que la planta hidroeléctrica Alto Maipo tiene en el sistema agroalimentario localizado en el Cajón del Maipo, Chile. La pregunta a responder es: Que tipo de impacto/externalidad positiva o negativa ha ejercido la construcción de la planta Alto Maipo sobre la transhumancia en el area? Una importante conclusion del estudio piloto es que a pesar de que se realizó una extensa investigación previa la construcción del Alto Maipo, los posibles impactos sobre la transhumancia y por lo tanto en antiguos sistemas agroalimentarios localizados en el área han sido altamente descuidados. Hasta la fecha, los resultados muestran cómo un impacto exógeno en las instituciones locales, que unian el paisaje, las personas, los animales y los productos han sido alterados a través de la creación de oportunidades alternativas de ingresos y han forzado el cambio. Los acontecimientos actuales generaron oportunidades de ingreso alternativas en el corto plaxo, pero tambien generaron impactos negativos de largo plazo en los modos de vida y en la naturaleza.

Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The Stockholm Archipelago is classified as one of the less developed rural areas in Sweden. Although the Archipelago is located close to Stockholm, local inhabitants and businesses live in the shadow of the capital city. Over the last decades, a number of policy initiatives and development projects have been launched to support a sustainable socio-economic development in the Stockholm Archipelago, not the least by trying to decrease the dependence on the summer season for the creation of local income. But results have not been as positive as expected. In addition, it seems that inhabitants in some islands have managed to create a more dynamic environment and have achieved some successes, while inhabitants in other islands are still struggling with the same problems as they were 20 years ago. These differences cannot easily be dismissed as a result of differences in physical infrastructure.By conducting a comparative qualitative and systematic study of the conditions for creating a sustainable socio-economic development in various islands in the Stockholm Archipelago this study will answer the following questions: What makes some communities in the archipelago vibrant and resilient and others less so? Which are the variations in pre-conditions for a vibrant and resilient development? What have previous policy initiatives and projects succeeded with? And when have they failed?The article is based in an on-going case study in which project and policy evaluation reports have been analysed. In addition, a large number of in-depth interviews with business owners in the Archipelago, with policy officers in various involved municipalities and project coordinators have been conducted.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Purpose The purpose of this study is shed light on the underlying forces behind entrepreneurship within a regional innovation system (RIS) in a remote rural region. The authors examine the following questions: Which are the main underlying forces behind the entrepreneurial process in a rural RIS characterized by traditionally low-tech, small-scale businesses? How can the development of a low-tech regional innovation system be conceptualized?Design/methodology/approach The design of the study is based on entrepreneurship theory. Data analysis followed practices used in phenomenography, a research approach used to analyse and identify commonalities and variations in populations' perceptions of a certain phenomenon. Data are composed using semi-structured interviews and a database composed of company information of all firms in the population.Findings A proactive mobilization of regional stakeholders and resources can be an important driving force behind the entrepreneurial process and generation of a rural RIS. Innovation can be generated within low-tech industries turning the rural context into an asset. An RIS in a remote rural context can be initiated and orchestrated by regional authorities, but knowledge brokering and orchestration can also be managed by networks of small-scale businesses brought together by mutual benefit and common interests.Research limitations/implications Regional innovation systems theory is most often used to study high-tech industries. But by combining regional innovation systems with rural entrepreneurship and entrepreneurship context theory is a fruitful avenue to understand the role of rural entrepreneurship in regional development, even in remote and peripheral regions. Innovation does not need to entail high-tech international environments; it can appear as the result of efforts in low-tech industries in rural and remote environments. The authors’ findings need to be scrutinized; therefore, the authors call for more research on regional innovation systems in rural environments.Practical implications It is possible for regional authorities to orchestrate a development process through the actions of a strong regional agent but also by supporting the creation of networks of small businesses that are built on trust and common interests.Originality/value This study contributes to the literature with a new perspective to the study of entrepreneurship and of regional innovation systems. Entrepreneurship research with focus on rural contexts most often highlight limits to entrepreneurship and see entrepreneurship as “just running a business”. A perspective that starts from innovation and innovative behaviour, despite the rural context and embedded resources, helps to generate new knowledge that can enrich the understanding of entrepreneurship and also be the foundation for more precise business development policies in rural settings.

From Import Dependency to Export Orientation : The case of the Chilean dairy sector
- 2010

Ingår i: Ibero-Americana, Nordic Journal of Latin American Studies. - Stockholm : Institute of Latin American Studies, Stockholm University. - 0046-8444 .- 2002-4509. ; XL:1-2, s. 141-160

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Between 1974 and 2005 the Chilean dairy sector went from being dependent on imports of dairy products to being a net exporter. The transformation was caused by increased and more efficient production. New technologies were introduced and output shifted from low quality commodities to products of higher quality. While previous research largely focused on other agricultural subsectors and mainly highlighted internal/national causes behind development, such as state market relations, this article contributes with new knowledge by studying changes in the dairy sector highlighting the impact of globalization. The main findings are that increased competition at global level changed the strategies of transnational dairy companies and gave rise to global sourcing strategies. In spite the fact that liberalization in Chile increased the process of structural rationalization, it is in the headquarters of transnational companies that decisions on what to produce and where are made. Thus, the shift towards an export driven development was mainly caused by the process of globalization of the industry. However, some of the actions of the state, through improving conditions for the supply side of the economy, paved the way for the development of the sector.

Fruits of Capitalism, Modernisation of Chilean Agriculture 1950-2000
- 2004
-
Bok (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The so-called Chilean economic miracle during the 1980s and 1990s connotes not only high-speed economic growth but also a profound structural transformation of the Chilean economy. Most previous research ascribes growth and transformation to the liberalisation of markets and other neo-liberal policy instruments introduced after 1974. Policies, before as well as after 1974, have indeed been important for creating preconditions for growth and transformation. However, in the present study it is argued that by overemphasising the role of polices one may partly disregard the historical process by which capitalist forms of organisation have gained momentum in the productive system as new technologies worked have their way into the agricultural sector. In this study, the dynamics of the transformation of Chilean agriculture are analysed by using the methodological tools offered by the Dahménian theory of Development Blocks. Empirically the study delves into three different sub-sectors (wine, fruit and milk) with the purpose to portray the transformation of both export agriculture and traditional agriculture. The study focused technical renewal as a key part of the modernisation process. The main conclusion of the study is that the modernisation of Chilean agriculture was caused by the transformation pressure emanating from the market. However, the selective institutions that paved the way for the successful entry of capitalism in Chilean agriculture were ironically mainly created under the land reforms during the structuralist and socialist periods of the 1960s and early 1970s.

Gastronomiska regioner : Ett verktyg för regional utveckling
- 2014
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Rapporten sammanfattar resultatet från åtta fokusgrupper, samt intervjuer, seminarier och en enkät som genomfördes under 2013 i syfte att ta fram ett underlag för hur vi skall bygga gastronomiska regioner i Sverige.Projektets huvudfrågor var: 1. Vad är gastronomiska regioner i ett svenskt sammanhang? 2. Hur skall gastronomiska regioner byggas i Sverige? 3. Vad kan satsningen heta?På förslag från deltagarna föreslås att satsningen framgent skall heta kulinariska regioner. Dessutom föreslås en handlingsplan som bygger på fem identifierade områden, nämligen en tydlig organisation och ledarskap; framtagning av en terroiratlas på nationell och regional nivå; satsa på marknadsutveckling; att utveckla regional unikitet och särart; samt att tillämpa de sistnämnda. Projektet genomfördes på uppmaning frånLlandsbygdsdepartementet som ett samarbete mellan Lantbrukarnas Riksförbund, Restaurangakademien och Södertörns högskola.
