This chapter assessed sustainability and resilience of eleven farming systems in their current situation, as well as in hypothetical future systems, using qualitative and quantitative methods. The assessment shows that current farming systems address sustainability dimensions in an unbalanced way and are characterized by poor resilience. Future resilient systems are imagined to promote environmental and social functions in the long term.
Up to the present, the farming system in the Altmark is shaped by its historical legacies of a socialist economy which together with contemporary challenges impact its functions and resilience capacities. Based on the analysis of this interplay, the chapter discusses possible future strategies to enhance the resilience of the farming system in the Altmark.
This chapter aims to formulate principles and recommendations for an enabling environment that fosters resilience of farming systems. Principles have been derived from archetypical patterns identified in the various case studies on how actions in the enabling environment tend to constrain the resilience of farming systems.
