The central questions addressed are: what are social innovations and why are they important for rural development? How can we gain more insights into the role and functioning of social innovations in rural development?
Drawing on different approaches to conceptualise social innovations pursued in economy, management, sociology, psychology and regional economics, planning and development studies, the article outlines the central aspects on which the concept is built. Based on these insights a proposal for a concise basic definition of social innovations is given and a model of the social innovation process is introduced. Reasoning that a lack of social innovation is often one of the strongest restraints of the vitality and further development of rural communities in developed, democratic, capitalist, industrial countries, the second part orf the article highlights the need to put a stronger focus on social innovations in future rural development research.
Building on these insights, the third part addresses open research questions and explains why an actor‐oriented network approach seems to be a promising potential methodological way to approach social innovations in rural development research.

The administration’s fy 2018 budget request continues its assault on rural communities by slashing usda’s rural development programs,” said greg fogel, policy director for the national sustainable agriculture president’s budget request zeroes out funding for numerous rural business, housing, and infrastructure programs, including: the value-added producer grants program, appropriate technology transfer for rural areas, rural cooperative development grants, intermediary relending program, and rural housing assistance, among others. It also proposes deep cuts to the community facilities program, rural water and wastewater program, and slashes usda salaries and expenses that provide the staffing needed to effectively administer these programs. Taken together with the administration’s recently announced plan to eliminate the rural development mission area and under secretary through a departmental reorganization,” said fogel, “this budget is a gut punch to america’s farmers and rural communities.
Addition to targeting rural development, the budget request also includes over $100 million in cuts to the national institute for food and agriculture (nifa) – one of usda’s core research, education, and extension agencies – including a 44 percent cut to nifa’s integrated activities. The one bright spot in the president’s budget proposal is that it is just that – a proposal,” said fogel. We will work closely with our 118 members across the country and with congress to ensure that funding legislation in fy 2018 doesn’t abandon farmers and rural americans.
