Alternative food network (AFN) cases are now reported in many countries worldwide. They are growing in Hungary as well, though the alternative food movement is still at an early stage of development (Benedek & Balázs, 2014a). The current study aims to deepen our understanding of the personal experience of participants in AFNs in Hungary by revealing their motivation for participation. This paper presents empirical research carried out among members of different AFNs located in Hungary. Based on the analysis of qualitative interviews, the main motivational factors *This research was supported by project No. EFOP-3.6.2-16-2017-00007, titled Aspects on the development of intelligent, sustainable and inclusive society: social, technological, innovation networks in employment and digital economy. The project has been supported by the European Union, co-financed by the European Social Fund and the budget of Hungary. **We are grateful to the members of the Corvinus University of Budapest research team on social innovation are identified by the different types of AFNs. Two types of motivational factors can be classified: individual and community-based factors. The individual factors range from security-based factors to self-realization-related factors, in line with the classical model of Maslow's theory of needs (1943). The community-based motivational factors range from motivations directly related to the community around food to abstract ideas related to the food system ; Los casos de redes de comida alternativa surgen en muchos países del mundo. También están creciendo en Hungría, aunque estos movimientos aún se encuentran en una etapa temprana de desarrollo (Benedek & Balázs, 2014a). El presente estudio tiene como objetivo profundizar nuestra comprensión de la experiencia personal de los participantes en las redes en Hungría al revelar su motivación para participar. Este artículo presenta la investigación empírica realizada entre miembros de diferentes redes ubicadas en Hungría. A partir del análisis de entrevistas cualitativas, los principales factores motivacionales son identificados por los diferentes tipos de redes. Se pueden clasificar dos tipos de factores motivacionales: factores individuales y comunitarios. Los factores individuales van desde factores basados en la seguridad hasta factores relacionados con la autorrealización, en línea con el modelo clásico de la teoría de las necesidades de Maslow (1943). Los factores de motivación basados en la comunidad van desde motivaciones directamente relacionadas con la comunidad en torno a la comida hasta ideas abstractas relacionadas con el sistema alimentario

The ecosystem service (ES) concept is becoming mainstream in policy and planning, but operational influence on practice is seldom reported. Here, we report the practitioners' perspectives on the practical implementation of the ES concept in 27 case studies. A standardised anonymous survey (n = 246), was used, focusing on the science-practice interaction process, perceived impact and expected use of the case study assessments. Operationalisation of the concept was shown to achieve a gradual change in practices: 13% of the case studies reported a change in action (e.g. management or policy change), and a further 40% anticipated that a change would result from the work. To a large extent the impact was attributed to a well conducted science-practice interaction process (>70%). The main reported advantages of the concept included: increased concept awareness and communication; enhanced participation and collaboration; production of comprehensive science-based knowledge; and production of spatially referenced knowledge for input to planning (91% indicated they had acquired new knowledge). The limitations were mostly case-specific and centred on methodology, data, and challenges with result implementation. The survey highlighted the crucial role of communication, participation and collaboration across different stakeholders, to implement the ES concept and enhance the democratisation of nature and landscape planning.
