O artigo discute a atuação dos Centros Familiares de Formação por Alternância (CEFFAs). Por meio de um estudo de caso, foi analisado até que ponto a Escola Família Agrícola (EFA) Itapirema, localizada no município de Ji-Paraná (RO), tem contribuído para as práticas de desenvolvimento rural sustentável do Território Central no Estado de Rondônia. No quadro teórico são identificadas as principais visões ambientalistas, as vertentes de desenvolvimento sustentável e os conceitos de educação para o desenvolvimento sustentável. Os dados extraídos dos documentos da EFA Itapirema, tratados por meio de análise de conteúdo, permitiram identificar a concepção de desenvolvimento rural sustentável predominante no currículo da Escola. Por meio de entrevistas e observações de campo foram levantadas as áreas nas quais os seus egressos estão atuando e analisado até que ponto as ações desses egressos e suas famílias estão alinhadas com a proposta da Escola. Os resultados indicam que a abordagem ambientalista da Escola se insere numa vertente preservacionista; a proposta de desenvolvimento rural engloba de forma equilibrada as concepções sustentabilista e socioambientalista. Contudo, identificou-se que a prática este equilíbrio não se concretiza, pois a concepção sustentabilista não está sendo exercida satisfatoriamente pelos egressos e suas famílias. Assim, a proposta da Escola EFA Itapirema não tem consequência prática para o desenvolvimento rural sustentável da região onde atua, pois está muito mais alicerçada no seu “ser” do que no seu “fazer”. Palavras-chave: Educação; Desenvolvimento Sustentável; Agricultores Familiares; CEFFAs. Abstract The article discusses the performance of the Family Centers of Formation by Alternation (CEFFAs). Through a case study, it was analyzed how much the School Agricultural Family (EFA) called Itapirema, located in the city of Ji-Paraná, State of Rondônia/Brazil, has contributed for the practices of sustainable rural development of the Central Territory in the State of Rondônia. In the theoretical framework are identified the main environmentalist visions, approaches of sustainable development and the concepts of education for the sustainable development. Data extracted from EFA Itapirema’s documents, treated by means of analysis of the content, permitted to identify the predominant conception of sustainable rural development in the school curriculum. By interviews and field observations were investigated the areas in which their ex graduates are acting and was analyzed how much those ex graduates and their families are aligned with the proposal of the School. The result indicates that the environmentalist approach of the School is inserted in a conception preservationist: the proposal of rural development embodies conceptions of sustainabilism and socio-environmentalist in a balanced form. However, it was identified in practice this equilibrium has not been achieved, because the conception sustainabilist has not being satisfactorily performed by the ex graduates and their families. Thus, the EFA Itapirema School’s proposal does not have practical consequence for rural sustainable development in the region where it acts, because it is much more based in its "being" than on its "doing". Keywords: Education; Sustainable Development; Family Farmers; CEFFAs.

AbstractBased on the consensus that the rural cultural landscape with regional characteristics is conducive to promoting the sustainable development of rural areas, this study explores how to use multiple means to restore the countryside with insufficient or severely damaged landscape resources and rebuild the contemporary rural landscape with regional characteristics. Combining the design of practical cases, the article proposes the use of low-tech, low-interference vernacular technology, and the integration of artistic intervention methods can more effectively restore landscape characteristics and stimulate rural development vitality.

ABSTRACTBetween 1964 and 1975, development politics in Tanzania came to be organized around a version of ujamaa that normalized distinct gender roles and celebrated a generic ideal of the nuclear family. Yet as ujamaa villagization unfolded on the ground in the south-eastern region of Mtwara, rural people's practices rarely conformed to the ideas about gender and family implicit in official discourse and policy. Just as the institution of the family on the ground proved to be a complicated and fractured one, the Tanzanian state's understanding of familyhood and the larger project of ujamaa were deeply riddled with internal tensions.

Todays, despite valuable properties of these vegetables, revenue generation, employment creation, and prevention of emigration and difficult social and environmental conditions (main components of sustainable rural development), scant attention is devoted to improved growth of this plant and its proper use in different industries including pharmacy and it is exported to other countries by an unreasonable sale price without sufficient knowledge gaining of its properties. Improvement in its growth and its increasing use can exert significant socioeconomic and environmental impacts in rural regions. This study attempts to examine appropriate methods to prevent damages against ferula and reduction of production as wells as the related problems of farmers in Firuzkuh (Iran).

The chapter reports and discusses a case study on an economic and scientific partnership which has developed a successful innovation, a cheese produced with vegetable (artichoke) rennet, using measure 124 of Campania region's Rural Development Plan, in a sector which is currently in crisis. The case study shows how the initiative's key to success is not only in product innovation but, more importantly, in the innovation of governance in the production chain and in the composition of the partnership. The latter includes not only the actors traditionally involved in processes of innovation in the agricultural sector (producers/adopters of innovation) but, also, new figures capable of producing organisational models to increase competitiveness in this struggling sector.
