We seek papers that address this topic, for example:

Change is a constant, including in rural landscapes, whether from new technologies for food production, increase population diversiiy, or climate change. Come and share your story of change at a rural landscape and how the community/ies’ intangible cultural heritage has been retained, maintained, and sustained.
