This study aligns with the Rural Pact’s Long-Term Vision for European Rural Areas by encouraging multi-level collaboration and stakeholder engagement to address rural needs. Using a Human Ecology perspective, it challenges rural stereotypes, promotes spatial justice and aims to reduce rural–urban disparities by fostering social innovation and youth entrepreneurship in rural areas. A thematic analysis of semi-structured interviews identified six key dimensions and their sub-dimensions within a transformative social–ecological model. The notable sub-dimensions include “Local Experimentation and Creativity” in Civil Society, “Higher Education Institutions and Lifelong Learning” in Knowledge and Skills, “Formal Institutional Monitoring at the National Level” in a Political and Institutional Context, and “Profiles—Young Age and Gender” in Entrepreneurship.

The paper analyzes energy and environmental policies in agriculture in the context of the European Green Deal, emphasizing the contribution of the Common Agricultural Policy in supporting sustainability objectives. The study explores how Member States implement specific measures to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, conserve natural resources, and protect biodiversity by 2030. The analysis focuses on three main objectives: reducing emissions and adapting to climate and energy changes, managing natural resources sustainably and ensuring energy efficiency, and promoting organic farming and conserving biodiversity. Using a methodology that aligns Green Deal goals with CAP measures, this research involves a comparative analysis between Member States, highlighting disparities in policy implementation, particularly between Eastern and Western Europe, suggesting that a coordinated EU approach is needed to support equitable progress. The paper provides a detailed perspective on the progress made and offers recommendations for harmonizing agricultural policies in the EU, supporting farmers in adopting ecological and energy efficient practices, and ensuring a consistent approach in achieving Green Deal objectives by 2030.

Weeds are the main phytosanitary problem in rice crop. Over-reliance on herbicides and lack of crop operations range in the rice system have produced intense selection for the evolution of resistant weed populations. This study focused on rice farmers’ perceptions and attitudes towards weeds and agricultural practices for weed management. The methodology of a questionnaire was used, carried out in person with rice producers in the main rice producing regions in Portugal, complemented by three focus groups. The outcomes reveal that Echinochloa spp. is the weed of greatest concern, followed by Oryza sativa var. sylvatica. New weeds are about to emerge, mainly Leptochloa fusca ssp. fascicularis. It will be critical for performance at the innovation ecosystem level to achieve evolution in social capital. Policies that promote innovation for the performance of more ecological and sustainable practices must be settled. The problem of herbicide resistance is increasing with the reduction in the number of active substances. There is great difficulty in adopting non-chemical weed control to meet the requirements of the European Ecological Pact. The implementation of these alternatives cannot be widespread, but must be studied on a case-by-case basis and requires technical monitoring adapted to the region and to the plot. Full article
