While development practicians tend to celebrate the renaissance of rural development,critical scholars are concerned about the increasing commoditisation of rural resources inthe global South coinciding with the end of the peasant mode of production. The newdebate on the future of rurality is associated with trends such as price hikes for ruralproducts, climate change, food crisis, institutional change and multi-local livelihood systems.  Usually, these trends are analysed from different perspectives. While many geographers look atit from a livelihood systems perspective, political economists focus on global food markets,whereas climate change research considers rural dynamics predominantly as a response to climate.This article argues that the new rural dynamics can only be understood by taking a holisticmulti-dimensional approach which puts those different perspectives into context, ratherthan arguing which is more relevant. Based on a multi-dimensional analytical framework,the article investigates economic, environmental, social and political-institutionaldynamics behind the actual trends
