Why is diversification an attractive farm adjustment strategy? Insights from Texas farmers and ranchers (2009, background): “Barbieri and Mshenga (2008) also used a non-random sample with snowball technique to examine agritourism in the US.”
Understanding the Nature and Extent of Farm and Ranch Diversification in North America. (2008, background): “Barbieri and Mshenga (2008) analyzed 449 agritourism farms in the United States to investigate the role of firm and owner characteristics on their business performance.”
Assessing the sustainability of agritourism in the US: a comparison between agritourism and other farm entrepreneurial ventures (2013, background): “…either pursuing direct (e.g. revenues enhancement) or indirect (e.g. cross marketing of other farm products) economic gains or fulfilling intrinsic entrepreneurial goals (Barbieri & Mahoney, 2009; Barbieri & Mshenga, 2008; McNally, 2001; Nickerson, Black, & McCool, 2001; Tew & Barbieri, 2012).”
Entrepreneurship in the Agricultural Sector: A Literature Review and Future Research Opportunities (2018, background): “Regardless of whether the ‘‘farmer’’ or the ‘‘entrepreneur’’ identity is dominant, they retain a strong commitment to the occupation of farming (Barbieri & Mshenga, 2008), and identity is therefore an important contextual dimension of agriculture.”
Agritourism and Sustainability: What We Can Learn from a Systematic Literature Review (2020, background): “Several studies emphasize that agritourism initiatives are often carried out by women [85].”
The relationship between resources, entrepreneurial orientation and performance in farm-based ventures (2011, background): “In a US study related to agro-tourism Barbieri and Mshenga ( 2008 ) argue that larger farms, based on acreage and number of employees, have a potential for generating greater revenues since these assets enable firms to offer a greater variability of products.”
Using the theory of planned behavior to understand the intention of small farmers in diversifying their agricultural production (2017, background): “Sometimes this concept includes activities developed inside the farm and sometimes outside the farm (Abdulai and Crolerees, 2001; Barbieri and Mahoney, 2009; Barbieri and Mshenga, 2008; Ellis, 2000; Ilbery, 1991; Meraner et al., 2015; Ploeg and Roep, 2003).”
