Abstract

Chapter six, by comparing the main findings of the two case studies analyzed in chap. 4 and 5, provides a more detailed theoretical discussion on the role of collective action in the provision of agri-environmental public goods. The institutional and policy implications of supporting and implementing collective action are discussed, also in the light of the current debate on the innovation needed to re-orient the EU Rural Development Policy towards a more effective provision of public goods in rural areas.
