Zusammenfassung Die vielfältigen Auswirkungen des Klimawandels führen in Österreich zu einem dringenden Anpassungsbedarf von menschlichen und natürlichen Systemen (APCC, 2014). Während Anpassung prinzipiell ein biologischer oder sozialer Entwicklungsprozess ist, sind jene Anpassungen an den Klimawandel effektiver, die proaktiv, geplant und voraussc...

This work by the Federal Institute of Agricultural Economics and Mountain Farming was carried out within the project "PoCo-FLOOD Integrated Flood Risk Management in Mountain Areas: Assessing Sectoral Interdependencies, Conflicts and Options for Policy Coordination". The project was financed by the Austrian Academy of Sciences and coordinated by the...

Major flood events in the last decades led to a paradigm shift in flood policy, from flood defence to integrated flood risk management. Flood risk management is a multi-sectoral effort, characterised by a pluralisation of actors and interests, consequently entailing an increasing need for policy coordination at the interface of land and water. In t...

The paradigmatic shift from traditional flood defense toward integrated flood risk management has widened the sectors and policies affected and has spurred a growing interest of scholars to understand cross-sectoral flood policy integration. In this paper we argue that the cross-sectoral goal relationship—ranging from complementary to conflictual p...

Improving market access and opportunities for value addition for small-scale food producers and family farms and properly functioning food commodity markets are among the objectives of the Sustainable Development Goals. Market structure and market concentration are important aspects that could make this goal attainable. In a case study, we explore...

Das EU Horizon 2020 Forschungsprojekt LIVERUR (Living Lab Research Concept in Rural Areas) ist auf eine Modernisierung kleiner und mittlerer (landwirtschaftlicher) Unternehmen in ländlichen Räumen Europas ausgerichtet. Kreislaufwirtschaft, Nachhaltigkeit und die speziellen Anforderungen ländlicher Räume spielen dabei eine besondere Rolle. Neben ein...

This paper presents results of the Austrian research cooperation project "Policy Coordination in Flood Risk Management" concerning the interactions and conflicts in the area of agriculture and FRM (Flood Risk Management) and discusses options for improvement. Firstly, the evidence basis is shown to get clear about the dimensions of the areas concer...

Impacts of climate change have become more and more evident and can be observed in ecosystems, societies and economies worldwide. Mountain agriculture is especially vulnerable to climate change, and adaptation seems crucial. Thus, certain adaptation activities, such as installing irrigation technology, switching to drought-resistant crop varieties...

Our scientific view on climate change adaptation (CCA) is unsatisfying in many ways: It is often dominated by a modernistic perspective of planned pro-active adaptation, with a selective focus on measures directly responding to climate change impacts and thus it is far from real-life conditions of those who are actually affected by climate change....

Eine partizipativ ausgerichtete Klimawandelanpassungsforschung soll wissensbasiert und auf einem Dialog aufbauend Ergebnisse produzieren, die die Wahrnehmungen, Sichtweisen und Bedürfnisse der NutzerInnen widerspiegeln. Die Praxis zeigt, dass dieser hehre Anspruch aber nur schwer erfüllt werden kann. Trotz der vielfältigen Erfahrungen und Anleitung...
