Embeddedness, local development, SierakówAbstract
This article presents the conception of embeddedness, which offers a new look at the development of rural areas based on their endogenous resources and the stimulation of their communities. The case in point will be the conditions and resources of the commune of Sieraków, located in the north-western part of Wielkopolska voivodeship in Poland, that contribute to its local development. Ways will be presented of reinforcing embeddedness, so as to help the commune keep as much as possible of the value added produced by the activity (agricultural and non-agricultural) of its residents, assisted by an efficient use of endogenous resources and geared to its further development.
