• Agricultural multifunctionality and farmers' entrepreneurial skills: a study of Tuscan and Welsh farmers (2010, background): “It has assumed a central role notwithstanding the continued debate about what multifunctionality in agriculture signifies and how it might be recognised in practice (Marsden and Sonnino, 2008; Wilson, 2007; van Huylenbroek and Durand, 2003; Marsden, 2003; OECD, 2001).”
• Bottom-up initiatives and revival in the face of rural decline: Case studies from China and Sweden (2016, background): “The rural restructuring of post-productive villages (Bowler et al., 1992; Marsden and Sonnino, 2008) has also established a platform for rural immigration and gentrification in a number of ways.”
• The role of multi-actor governance in aligning farm modernization and sustainable rural development (2017, background): “Critics of modernization have argued the case for redesigning agriculture and rural policy so it aligns more closely with other global, economic, social, policy and environmental trends (Marsden and Sonnino, 2008; van der Ploeg et al., 2000).”
• Exploring the ‘New Rural Paradigm’ in Europe: Eco-economic strategies as a counterforce to the global competitiveness agenda (2014, background): “These developments create opportunities for multifunctional agriculture to produce new products and services linked to local and regional assets and identities (Marsden and Sonnino, 2008).”
• From post-productionism to reflexive governance: Contested transitions in securing more sustainable food futures (2013, background): “…governance approaches emerging out of the former postproductionist and retailer-led regime, with the devolved authorities (of Scotland and Wales) assembling the resources to create a reflexive break, whilst in England and Whitehall this is far more tentative (see also Marsden and Sonnino, 2008).”
• Towards the real green revolution? : Exploring the conceptual dimensions of a new ecological modernisation of agriculture that could 'feed the world' (2011, background): “Faced with these far-reaching concerns and issues farmers are being encouraged towards more ‘value-adding’ and multifunctionality (Marsden and Sonnino, 2008).”
• Conceptualising multi-regime interactions: The role of the agriculture sector in renewable energy transitions (2015, background): “fibre and energy production, as well as environmental and amenity resource preservation) (Hassink et al., 2012; Marsden and Sonnino, 2008).”
• Deconstructing the ‘young farmer problem in Europe’: Towards a research agenda (2015, background): “expansion, part-time farming, organic conversion, diversification) (Potter and Lobley, 1992; Vogel et al., 2004; Sutherland et al., 2012). The presence of a successor is consistently linked to farm business investment. Potter and Lobley (1996) identified what they termed the ‘succession effect’, whe”
• Spatial distribution characteristics and optimized reconstruction analysis of China’s rural settlements during the process of rapid urbanization (2016, background): “Rural sociology studies focus on social organizational construction, social change, rural community development, rural enterprises development, cultural patterns, and rural industrialization (William, 1964; Zhe, 1997; Huang, 2000; Ali, 2007; Marsden and Sonnino, 2008; Li et al., 2015; Liu et al., 20”
• Farm diversification, entrepreneurship and technology adoption : analysis of upland farmers in Wales (2017, background): “Some commentators argue that despite a UK-wide absence of strong coherence in understanding multifunctionality, a stronger expression of the developing multifunctionality of the rural economy began to emerge in Wales (Marsden and Sonnino, 2008).”
