The agriculture sector around the world has experienced profound
changes in recent years. This unique and path-breaking Handbook
draws together the best current research in the area of
entrepreneurship in agriculture, food production and rural
development.Agriculture policy reforms have impacted farm incomes,
while demand side changes have required the development of
sophisticated market driven strategies. Farmers have demonstrated
uneven abilities to adapt and adjust to these ongoing changes. The
ability and propensity of farmers to engage in entrepreneurial
behaviors is a key explanation of the different patterns of
responses within the sector. This book examines these issues
through three main themes. The first theme focuses on the firm and
the individual entrepreneurs, exploring entrepreneurship within the
farm sector. The second takes a sector and industry perspective,
exploring new developments in food production and distribution
systems. The third theme explores the inter-relationship between
agricultural entrepreneurship and its spatial context.
Contributions are drawn from international research settings
(Scandinavia, Europe, Asia, North America, Australasia) and offer
an interdisciplinary approach to the subject.This astute Handbook,
which will challenge and enrich the current literature, will appeal
to academics in entrepreneurship, small business studies,
agriculture, rural studies, rural sociology and agricultural
economics, as well as food industry economists, policymakers and
all those interested in supporting agricultural and rural
businesses.
