    Vrijkomende boerenerven bieden ruimte aan nieuwe activiteiten in het landelijk gebied. Terwijl deze nieuwe activiteiten decennialang door overheden op diverse niveaus zijn beperkt, is de afgelopen jaren een kentering gaande. Provincies en gemeenten zien vrijkomende locaties in toenemende mate als een kans voor revitalisering van het landelijk gebied. Gezien de omvang van de transformaties en de verwachte leegstand zullen deze kansen ook in de toekomst alleen maar groter en belangrijker worden.

    India, Southern Asia

    In the past 50 years, Indian agriculture has undergone a major transformation, from dependence on food aid to becoming a consistent net food exporter. The gradual reforms in the agricultural sector (following the broader macro-reforms of the early 1990s) spurred some unprecedented innovations and changes in the food sector driven by private investment. These impressive achievements must now be viewed in light of the policy and investment imperatives that lie ahead.

    The accumulation of decent housing matters both because of the difference it makes to living standards and because of its centrality to economic development. The consequences for living standards are far-reaching. In addition to directly conferring utility, decent housing improves health and enables children to do homework. It frees up women's time and enables them to participate in the labor market. More subtly, a home and its environs affect identity and self-respect.

    In countries such as Azerbaijan, the
    risks of climate change for the agricultural sector are a
    particularly immediate and important problem because the
    majority of the rural population depends either directly or
