The Institutional Limits to Multifunctional Agriculture: Subnational Governance and Regional Systems of Innovation

Julian Clark · 2006 · Environment and Planning C Government and Policy

Summary. This paper examines how regional governance in England's East Midlands implements multifunctional agriculture policies. The author uses a regional innovation systems approach to show that while multifunctionality is promoted across Europe, translating this concept into actual policy faces significant institutional challenges. The study reveals gaps between the theoretical appeal of postproductivist agricultural strategies and the practical capacity of subnational governance to deliver them.
