Transformational adaptation: agriculture and climate change (2012, background): “Awealth of research also highlights the importance of social and human capital in enabling the sort of positive, enduring, collective action TAwill involve (e.g. Meert et al. 2005; Gooch and Rigano 2010; Burton and Paragahawewa 2011).”
Analysing behavioural differences of farm households: An example of income diversification strategies based on European farm survey data (2017, background): “Particularly smallscale and family farms tend to broaden their off-farm income basis by employing additional family labour (Gasson et al., 1988; Maye et al., 2009; McNamara and Weiss, 2005; Meert et al., 2005).”
Stated Economic and Social Motivations of Farm Tourism Operators (2007, background): “Farmers have adjusted by expanding acreage, intensifying production, specializing crops or livestock, selling land, working off-farm, or diversifying income on-farm (Bateman and Ray 1994; Dimianos and Skuras 1996; Johnson 2004; Marsden 1984; Meert et al., 2005).”
Multifunctional ‘quality’ and rural community resilience (2010, background): “Diversification is the key issue for these communities, and in areas where multiple pathways of economic development have become possible and accessible for various stakeholder groups in a community, evidence suggests that multifunctional quality has increased (Meert et al. 2005).”
Farm diversification, entrepreneurship and technology adoption : analysis of upland farmers in Wales (2017, background): “Previous research has highlighted the critical role played by a range of internal factors (Gasson, 1988; McNally, 2001; Meert et al., 2005; McFadden and Gorman, 2016; Suess-Reyes and Fuetsch, 2016).”
The relationship between resources, entrepreneurial orientation and performance in farm-based ventures (2011, background): “Owing to the expected positive influence on renewal and performance in firms, entrepreneurial efforts in an organizational setting have received increased attention among scholars in the last two decades (Miller 1983 ; Covin and Slevin 1989 , 1991 ; Lumpkin and Dess 1996 ; Wiklund 1999 ; Wiklun”
Exploring entrepreneurial skills and competencies in farm tourism (2012, background): “Moreover, these declining farm incomes and on-going CAP reform have led to increasing pressures for a reorientation from productivist to more entrepreneurial models of farming, with the result that farmers are increasingly required to become more market oriented, and to treat their ‘farms as firms’,”
Using the theory of planned behavior to understand the intention of small farmers in diversifying their agricultural production (2017, background): “As agricultural diversification is a strategy for subsistence of small farmers, it has been promoted by agrarian policies (Meert et al., 2005).”
Entrepreneurship in the Agricultural Sector: A Literature Review and Future Research Opportunities (2018, background): “Hence, an important finding in this research is that family composition and involvement in the farm can be an important incentive for entrepreneurship (Meert et al., 2005; Alsos et al., 2014).”
Exploring the strategic skills of farmers across a typology of farm diversification approaches (2010, background): “This leads to calls for policy to offer both financial support and a ‘serious effort to provide farmers with access to expert information and with opportunities to improve essential skills’ (Meert et al. 2005, p.96).”
