One of the various “battles” of Mussolini’s domestic policy, the bonifica integrale (battle for land) involved draining marshland to make it suitable for agriculture and housing. The showpiece of his land reclamation schemes was in the Pontine marshes, on the coast south of Rome. Here were built new towns on land below sea level that hadn’t been habitable since before the Romans. The first of which, Littoria (now Latina), was inaugurated in 1932.
Regarding the town’s layout and street system, the architect chose to employ a radiating, concentric plan. Five of the seven streets radiating out from the main square lead out of town. He inserted a series of ring roads connecting the radiating streets. Two major squares were laid out in the center; one for the combined Town Hall/Fascist Headquarters, and one for the church; in addition there were two smaller squares and the sports field. Due to the swampland Littoria was built on (and the unwillingness to invest in fundaments for higher edifices), a two story limitation was put on all buildings, with a few exceptions.

Collective farming history
A kolkhoz is a shortened for a term of rural economics for collective farming in the Soviet Union that existed along with state farms (shortened for sovkhoz). Kolkhozy and sovkhozy were the two components of the socialized farm sector that began to emerge in Soviet agriculture after the October Revolution of 1917 as an antithesis to individual or family farming. The 1920s were characterized by spontaneous and apparently voluntary emergence of collective farms, which included an updated version of the traditional Russian “commune”, the generic “farming association”, the association for joint cultivation of land and finally the kolkhoz. This peaceful and gradual shift to collective farming in the first 15 years after the October Revolution was turned into a “violent stampede” during the forced collectivization campaign that began in 1928.

The common vantage point for most of the kolkhozes was an “alliance for the locale” between management and workers. It had its roots in the fear to become “slaves on one’s own land” if non-local investors would be allowed to buy agricultural land, to remain without infrastructure like streets, water supply and kindergartens if the kolkhoz would be divided up and to lack the machinery to work the private plots without the support of the farms. But beyond this consensus the chairmen of the collective farms could rely on a bulk of different allocative and authoritative resources to stage-manage privatisation. This introduced a highly ‘individual’ moment in the process and led to rising disparities and an increasing disintegration of rural Russia in the 1990s. Using a farm in southern Russia as an example the closer look at these resources and the “failed privatisation” unveils, that not continuity, but hybrid amalgamations of old and new characterise the Post-Soviet Russian countryside.

A kibbutz is a collective community in Israel that was traditionally based on agriculture. Today, farming has been partly supplanted by other economic branches, including industrial plants and high-tech enterprises. Kibbutzim began as utopian communities, a combination of socialism and Zionism. In recent decades, some kibbutzim have been privatized and changes have been made in the communal lifestyle. In 2010, there were 270 kibbutzim in Israel. Their factories and farms account for 9% of Israel’s industrial output, and 40% of its agricultural output.

UBPC ( basic unit of cooperative
CPA (Agricultural Production
production) was created in 1993 and still now many of the urban organic farms operate under this system. A group of farmers may apply for land or an urban site and farm it for a very small rent (1 Cuban Peso per year) They collectively grow fresh fruit, vegetables and green medicine based on the needs of their surrounding community. This usually includes a portion of the produce that goes to a senior’s home, maternity hospital, school or hospital as their “social contribution.” They are paid a set fee by the state for this contribution and they are obligated to produce a minimum of 20kg/square meter of growing space. Any produce above that is the coops to sell to the community with farmgate sales or at freemarket farmers’ markets. This profit is theirs to divide amongst its members as bonuses and to reinvest into the farm. It’s a very lucrative job in Cuba. They can earn twice the amount of the national average state salary, in other words, they tend to earn twice the amount of “white collar” workers such as doctors and lawyers.
Cooperative) is a type of agricultural cooperative tha was bornin the first years following the Cuban Revolution and still exists today. Between 1977 and 1983, farmers began to collectivize into CPAs for a variety of reasons. The state offered various incentives to farmers willing to join a CPA, like allowed individuals who were previously dispersed throughout the countryside to move to a centralized location with increased access to electricity, medical care, housing, and schools. Another important change was that foodstuff are no longer delivered by farms to the central marketing agency, but directly to a market for direct distribution, much like voluntary capitalist cooperatives. In this sense state control has yielded to autonomy for the farm.
CPAs are operated at a greater level of autonomy from the state than a UBPC or a state farm. Autonomy is limited by centralized economic planning as well as state control over the input and output market. CPAs allow for democracy within the workplace; democratic practice tends to be limited to business decisions and is constrained by the centralized economic planning of the Cuban system.

Illustrates the organization of authority within the cooperative. Each of the four “departments” is presided over by an officer called a “jefe.” The shaded boxes indicate the position held by each of the nine members of the executive council, which includes two “staff” positions: agronomist and mechanization expert. Each of these staff individuals has functional authority over a vital activity, as shown by the dotted lines.
As a means of providing land to the poor farmers of Mexico (peons/ campesinos) who were so poor they could not pay for land, communal groupings were created in the form of communal farms. The “Ejidos” consist of a defined governing body (“Comisariado”), land parcels (“parcelas”) and members (“ejidatarios”), thus creating an agrarian community or town (“ejido”). The land is divided into two sections, one being communal in nature which is held directly by all of the members in common, and where the community services and residences are situated, and the other section is made up of individual parcels, which are identified as being held individually by each member of the community which they use to farm. The Mexican government always retains the ownership of the “ejido” land and provides that the communities hold and use it under the agrarian rules of Mexico. DisIncorporation of “Ejidos”. The present day Agrarian Law (February 26, 1992) foresees, in its transitory article 8th (at the end of the law), the ability of the “ejido” to decide not to continue to be an “ejido” by choosing a disincorporation process.
One of the fundamental causes for the revolution of Mexico at the beginning of the century was the need of land by the population, that they could call their own; existed a need to free the population from both the French that ruled as well as the need to free themselves from the feudal system.

Analytical model of internal and external factors that influence land tenure trajectories.
The German expression Landwirtschaftliche Produktionsgenossenschaft (Agricultural Production Community- LPG) was the official designation for large, collectivised farms in the former East Germany, corresponding to Soviet Kolkhoz. The collectivisation of private and state owned agricultural land in East Germany was the progression of a policy of food security .It began in the years of Soviet occupation (1945–48) as part of the need to govern resources in the Soviet Sector. Beginning with the forced expropriation of all land holdings in excess of 100 ha, land was redistributed in small packets of around 5 to 7 ha to incoming landless refugees driven off lost German territory to the east. These new farmers were given limited ownership rights to the land, meaning that they kept it as long as they worked it. In the early 1950s, remaining farmers with largish holdings (60 to 80 ha) were effectively driven out of business through means such as denying access to pooled machinery and by setting production targets that rose exponentially with amount of land owned to levels that were impossible to meet.
Old and new farmers with smaller land holdings were increasingly encouraged to pool resources in a legally constituted cooperative form, the LPG, in which initially just land but later animals and machinery were shared and worked together. From the early 1960s, pressure mounted on remaining independent farmers to join the LPG and for existing LPGs to merge in more fully collectivised forms. This process led in the 1970s to the separation of crop and animal production and the merging of each across villages to form much larger cooperative units. Following German reunification in 1990, the LPG was no longer a legal form of business and regulations were introduced. Some former LPG members, reclaimed their land and started again as independent farmers building up to a viable farm size through renting. In most cases, former members or their children settled for some level of compensation in return for surrendering their membership rights to a smaller core group of former managers who then took over the business in the new form of a limited company (GmbH).

“Culinary tourism or food tourism is experiencing the food of the country, region or area, and is now considered a vital component of the tourism experience.�
Food has many roles to play for consumers: it is functional (sustaining life) it plays a key role in our celebrations it is a conduit for socializing it is entertaining
Today, the consumer is better educated, wealthy, has travelled more extensively, lives longer, and is concerned about his health and the environment. As a result food and drink has become more important and have a higher priority amongst certain social groupings. Too the extent food is the new culture capital of a destination, as if culture has moved out of the museum to become a living experience of consumption. One thing is clear; food must be a quality product, whether it is slow food or fast food.

The Tuscan Wine Society is a Cultural Association that offers fun & educative small group excursions into Tuscany. The aim is to promote the knowledge and understanding of Tuscan wines, olive oils, and typical food products .
We start our full day wine tours from Florence and we will go into the famous Chianti Classico region just South of Florence, the World’s oldest wine region. You will learn what Chianti means, all about its territory and terroirs, the styles of wines from Chianti Classico to famous Super Tuscans. The wineries we visit during the excursions are some of the most well considered and most representative of the area. We choose them so that you can try some of the best wines (both traditional style wines and innovative ones) to really get to know the products of the Chianti Classico and to get a real feel for the wine country. We will visit the vineyards, and definitely tour the cellars to understand the process behind the production of the wines. The tastings are always quite generous and are always included in the fee of the tour. Cold Press Extra Virgin Olive Oil tasting is also a must, as one of Italy’s best olive oils originate in this area. The locals jealously keep it for themselves, but when we emerge ourselves in this region we get the chance to enjoy it with them.
The Tuscan Wine Society is not a travel agency, yet we provide full assistance and insurance to our members and we will do all we can to facilitate and assist you with your travel plans to Italy. Tuscany is the largest region producing quality wines of Italy. But even if wine making can be traced back almost 3000 yrs, high quality wines are a relatively new phenomenon. Come with us to understand how and why...

Increase of global demand
Since the 1960s global food consumption is increasing . This is the consequence of the increase of the population and of per capita food consumption in kcal/person/day rising worldwide.
Arable land (% of lan d area) With a world population that is expected to grow from currently about 6.9 billion to 9.2 billion by 2050, as well as changing lifestyles and consumption patterns towards more protein containing diets, the Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO) estimates that meeting the world’s food demand requires a 70 percent increase in total agricultural production. Land productivity considerably increased over the last 6 decades, since in this period the food production was doubled while agricultural land only increased by 10%. However, agricultural yields as well as production stability is threatened by changes in precipitation, temperature and extreme weather events under climate change. Regions with already low and stagnant agricultural productivity and therefore high risk of food insecurity like large parts of Africa are expected to be the most affected ones.

Arable land includes land defined by the FAO as land under temporary crops (double-cropped areas are counted once), temporary meadows for mowing or for pasture, land under market or kitchen gardens, and land temporarily fallow. Land abandoned as a result of shifting cultivation is excluded.
Hantz Farms Detroit aims to create the world’s largest urban farm. As Detroits population and economy have declined over the years, much of the city is vacant or dispersed across the city limits. John Hantz sees urban agriculture as a way to reinvigorate Detroit by providing hundreds of jobs, fresh and healthy produce, increased food security, and foster local economy by attracting visitors and customers to the farm. Hantz Urban farm starts to buy 100 ha of land that now support 120 oak trees for timber production and numerous orchards along the sidewalk for pleasant the neighbors. The pilot project hopes to change the city into a global market innovation in horticulture, production and technology. Indoor producers will sell in a local farmer’s market to visitors or distribute to local markets to create a close connection between people and food production.
As agricultural production is established on the city's lower-east side research and educational initiatives will measure impacts of farm operations on: Economic development Environmental quality Neighborhood stabilization Consumer understanding of agriculture and natural resource management

Farmers markets add value to communities. Farmers/producers sell directly to consumers, minimizing profit loss Consumers can buy direct from the farmer/producer. Consumers can obtain organic fruits and vegetables from Certified Organic farmers Consumers can enjoy fresh, seasonally-grown food that was produced within a drivable distance from their homes. Local, fresh food is more likely to foster health and prevent illness than heavily processed foods More capital remains in the consumers’ community.

“Founded in 2009 by a group of proactive farmers, LavkaLavka runs a home delivery service for products from over 100 farmers, as well as its own retail store and café.”
“The project’s total turnover is roughly 10 million rubles ($350,000) a month, with retail sales generating up to 95 percent of the revenue, and 5 percent more coming from the sale of food to restaurants and eco-friendly stores,” Akimov explained. Last year, LavkaLavka opened an office in St. Petersburg, and is also planning on tapping the markets of Kaliningrad, Ufa, Yekaterinburg and Chelyabinsk by working with local suppliers. “Our suppliers are the ‘new farmers,’ or private entrepreneurs, much like the old peasants who would have once been called kulaks. Many of them have come down to the country from cities. For some of them, farming is a passion rather than a business. While most of them manage to make money from farming, some are still in the red,” Akimov said. “Before establishing connections with the farmers, we personally travel to them and try their products. After we make sure that they are tasty and meet the requirements, we start importing their produce. Our quality control is vital for us. We make sure that you, dear customers, get the finest.
Our range of products is really impressive. We have everything, starting from usual meat, grocery, milk, baking and vegetables, to extra quality products such as: meat pigeons, guinea fowl, goose, baked goose, so called Kalmitskaya lamb (the very same type that was served for government officials back in the USSR), extra quality pork, etc. etc.

At Meine Kleine Farm, consumers can see a picture of the pig they’re eating on the packaging. They can even choose which pig will be slaughtered to make their sausages. Meine Kleine Farm is the brainchild of Berlin student Denni Buchmann, who is on a mission to change the way consumers think about meat. He thinks people should eat less meat and show more respect to the animals. Buchmann regularly selects and buys pigs from Schulz’s farm, photographs them and posts the photos online. Users can then vote on which pig looks most tasty. The winner is slaughtered and its photo appears on the products. Buchmann doesn’t want to make consumers feel bad about eating meat, but raise awareness about the lives of the animals.
The pigs have a happy life on Schulz’s farm, running around in the open air, rooting around in mud and playing with the other pigs. Schulz, who owns around 300 pigs, gives his animals organic feed and raises them according to the principle of “animal welfare in harmony with nature,” the motto printed on a sign hanging in Schulz’s farmyard.
The concept is proving popular among consumers, who increasingly want to know where their meat has come from. Meine Kleine Farm now has over 800 fans on Facebook and business is picking up.

“FarmVille is a farming simulation social network game involving various aspects of farm management such as plowing land, planting, growing and harvesting crops, harvesting trees and bushes, and raising livestock.” The game is a freemium game, meaning there is no cost to play but players have the option of purchasing premium content. The player begins with an empty farm and a fixed starting amount of “farm coins”. Players also earn experience points for performing certain actions in the game such as plowing land or buying items. As the player obtains more items and progresses through levels, crops and animals become available to them via the “market” where items can be purchased using either farm coins or “farm cash”. Farm cash is earned by leveling up or completing offers, or purchased for real money. The main way a player earns farm coins is through harvesting of crops or visiting their neighbors. The player does this by paying coins for plowing a unit of land and for planting crops, such as tomatoes on it, finally harvesting them after a certain amount of time has elapsed. As a player levels up more, crops with a higher payoff and economy will become available. A player may also buy or receive from friends livestock and trees or bushes, such as cherry trees or chickens FarmVille incorporates the social networking aspect of Facebook into many areas of gameplay.

The cultivated field is the planned lot map that was submitted to the city of Surprise. I acquired this map from the city and used as the template for the design of the land artwork, Rotations: Moore Estates. The site for the earthwork was chosen in its relation to the actual building area of the development. I mapped out Moore Estates at a third scale using a CAD program and a GPS surveying crew. The 253 homes were planted in Sorghum, and the roads were seeded wheat.”

Destined to become
Scotland’s largest urban
wildlife site, the Seven Lochs Wetland Park is an exciting
new project spanning the Glasgow and North Lanarkshire Council boundary. Bringing together almost 17 sq km of lochs, parks, nature reserves and woodlands it aims to create a new Wetland Park of national significance, linked to a wider network of greenspaces. We want to work with local community projects and organisations to encourage people to discover, learn about and be involved in the Wetland Park area. We can attend, organise and support meetings and events which encourage people to find out about the proposed park, and be involved.
