Abstract

This open access book examines more than two centuries of societal development using novel historical and statistical approaches. It applies the well-being monitor developed by Statistics Netherlands that has been endorsed by a significant part of the international, statistical community. It features The Netherlands as a case study, which is an especially interesting example; although it was one of the world’s richest countries around 1850, extreme poverty and inequality were significant problems of well-being at the time. Monitors of 1850, 1910, 1970 and 2015 depict the changes in three dimensions of well-being: the quality of life 'here and now', 'later' and 'elsewhere'. The analysis of two centuries shows the solutions to the extreme poverty problem and the appearance of new sustainability problems, especially in domestic and foreign ecological systems. The study also reveals the importance of natural capital: soil, air, water and subsoil resources, showing their relation with the social structure of the ‘here and now´. Treatment and trade of natural resources also impacted on the quality of life ‘later’ and ‘elsewhere.’ Further, the book illustrates the role of natural capital by dividing the capital into three types of raw materials and concomitant material flows: bio-raw materials, mineral and fossil subsoil resources. Additionally, the analysis of the institutional context identifies the key roles of social groups in well-being development. The book ends with an assessment of the solutions and barriers offered by the historical anchoring of the well-being and sustainability issues. This unique analysis of well-being and sustainability and its institutional analysis appeals to historians, statisticians and policy makers. ; Examines over two centuries of societal development using a novel historical and statistical analysis Features The Netherlands as a case study -- a once rich country currently experiencing high levels of extreme poverty Shows that the way a society deals with natural capital shapes social structure and also has a great impact on quality of life

30. Care Farms in the Netherlands: An Underexplored Example of Multifunctional Agriculture--Toward an Empirically Grounded, Organization-Theory-Based Typology

Author

Hassink, Jan, Hulsink, Willem, and Grin, John

Abstract

For agricultural and rural development in Europe, multifunctionality is a leading concept that raises many questions. Care farming is a promising example of multifunctional agriculture that has so far received little attention. An issue that has not been examined thoroughly is the strategic mapping of different care farm organizations in this emerging field. The objective of this article is to develop a typology for care farms in the Netherlands and provide insight into the diversity of care farms. We have used different concepts from organization theory and information from regional organizations of care farmers to identify key dimensions and develop a typology of care farms. Key dimensions are the ratio between agriculture and care, the background of the initiators, and the degree of collaboration with formal care institutions. We found six main types of care farms with different identities, four of which were initiated by the farmers' families (mainly female partners). The other two types were started by new entrants in agriculture. On the basis of our findings, we confirmed, disputed, and supplemented insights to multifunctional farming literature. As a further contribution to that field, drawing from the organization theories underlying our typology, we have sought to understand how different types of care farms could emerge.

31. Changing Struggles for Relevance in Eight Fields of Natural Science

Author

Hessels, Laurens K., van Lente, Harro, Grin, John, and Smits, Ruud E. H. M.

Abstract

This paper investigates the consequences of institutional changes on academic research practices in eight fields of natural science in the Netherlands. The authors analyse the similarities and differences among the dynamics of these different fields and reflect on possible explanations for the changes observed. The study shows that the increasing pressure for productivity, as measured in bibliometric terms, can counteract the pressure for practical utility. Moreover, the work indicates that the dynamics of science varies much more across scientific fields than most of the literature suggests is the case. (Contains 9 notes, 2 figures and 6 tables.)

Abstract

Hoe zorg je in Amsterdam voor een aantrekkelijk en gevarieerd winkelgebied waar zowel bewoners, bezoekers en ondernemers zich thuis voelen? Hoe komen deze verschillende belanghebbenden tot een goed functionerend, gezamenlijk beheer van winkelgebieden als een gemeenschappelijke bron met verschillende functies? Wat vraagt dit van de gemeente, hoe is haar rol daarin veranderd en hoe zien we dit terug in beleid? Actuele vragen, die al geruime tijd de gemoederen in Amsterdam flink bezighouden, en die we beantwoorden in het rapport 'De Winkelstraat als wereld’. Dit rapport is uitkomst van het vierjarig praktijkonderzoek Toekomstbestendig Evenwicht: Balanceren tussen divergerende belangen (RAAK-PRO). In dit rapport geven we antwoord op de hoofdvraag: welke interventies, processen en structuren faciliteren 'urban commoning', om te komen tot een meer gebalanceerde ontwikkeling van stedelijke consumptieruimten? Urban commoning is een gedeelde praktijk waarbij belanghebbende rondom een gemeenschappelijke bron samen regels en afspraken ontwikkelen om zo'n plek duurzaam te benutten.

Abstract

Health technology assessment (HTA) aims, through empirical analysis, to shed light on the value of health technologies (ORourke et al. [2020, International Journal of Technology Assessment in Health Care 36, 187-90]). HTA is, then, where facts and values meet. But how, where, and when do facts and values meet in HTA? Currently, HTA is usually portrayed as a sequential process, starting with empirical analysis (assessment), followed by a deliberation on the implications of the findings for a judgment of a health technologys value (appraisal). In this paper, we will argue that in HTA, empirical analysis and normative inquiry are much more closely entwined. In fact, as we hope to show, normative commitments act as an indispensable guide for the collection and interpretation of empirical evidence. Drawing on policy sciences, we will suggest a concrete methodology that can help HTA practitioners to integrate empirical analysis and normative inquiry in a transparent way. The proposed methodology can be conceived as a concrete means for conducting a scoping exercise in HTA. Moreover, it offers a distinct way of giving stakeholders a structural and constructive role in HTA. This paper outlines the approach developed by the values in doing assessments of health technologies project, a project funded by the Erasmus+ program (contract number 2018-1-NL01-KA203-038960), which is the European Unions program to support education, training, youth, and sport in Europe. The project has resulted in an E-learning course, an accompanying handbook, and a consensus statement, all freely available from the projects website www.validatehta.eu., Funding Agencies|Erasmusthorn Program of the European Union [2018-1-NL01-KA203-038960]

Abstract

Regenerative agriculture is considered a more sustainable alternative to current farming practices, but it is not yetwell defined. Building on scientific literature we have defined regenerative agriculture as ‘an approach to farming thatuses soil conservation as the entry point to regenerate and contribute to multiple provisioning, regulating and supportingecosystem services, with the aspiration that this will enhance not only the environmental, but also the social andeconomic dimensions of sustainable food production’. In addition to this definition at farm level we propose thefollowing vision for a regenerative agricultural system at landscape or higher system levels: A regenerative agriculturalsystem enables production of food and biomass and enables ecosystems to maintain a healthy state and evolve, whilecontributing to biological diversity, integrity of the biosphere, human and farm animal well-being and economicprosperity of society. Based on this long-term vision we have defined a comprehensive outline of a regenerativeagricultural system that includes, and takes into account, all ecosystem services, soil functions and planetaryboundaries. This outline covers fourteen topics and describes the ‘outcomes’ that are needed to meet the objectives of a regenerative agricultural system, without being prescriptive on ‘how’ these outcomes should be achieved. Therefore, weuse the term ‘required outcomes’ which precisely and quantitatively describe the target performance of the regenerativeagricultural system. These ‘required outcomes’ are related to the inputs and use of resources, the output (i.e. food,biomass) and losses/emissions, and the preferred state of soils, water bodies, animals, biodiversity and society. Theoutcomes encompass environmental, social, and economic aspects, and are defined at five different system levels: 1)field (above and below ground), 2) farm, 3) local landscape (including air and water bodies), 4) the Netherlands and 5)international. All required outcomes are based on and supported by scientific literature
