Summary. This paper establishes a common definition of social innovation tailored for marginalized rural areas. The authors argue that existing definitions lack specificity for rural contexts and propose a classification framework to standardize how social innovations are identified and evaluated in rural development. This enables consistent measurement and comparison of social innovations addressing rural marginalization.
