abstract = {In this chapter, we reflect on the relevance of rural identity as a potential
development factor in areas with low economic dynamism and strong
social and economic imbalances. Many of these territories have
environmental resources that are very favorable for promoting
sustainable development with environmental protection, such as
sustainable agricultural practices or other non-agricultural practices
linked to the environment, such as sustainable energy production. In this
sense, we reflect on how rural identity is a potential factor of endogenous
resources and an enhancer to strengthen leadership, local governance,
and the promotion of rural entrepreneurship, all these dynamics based on
the protection of the environment. The relevance of this also lies in the
greater frequency of rural development experiences based on the
protagonism of local actors in their rural environments, to build
independent and environmentally, economically, and demographically
sustainable territories. In this chapter we make a first introduction of the
subject to be reflected upon and then go deeper into the importance of
rural identity as a potential development factor, introducing the need to
protect natural resources as a necessity and as a reinforcing factor in the
revaluation and promotion of rural identity.},
