“…The recent studies have evaluated the determinants of production insurance adoption in various countries, exploring how producer and business characteristics influence a producer's decision to use the risk management tool (Fahad et al, 2018;Hill, Hoddinott & Kumar, 2013;Salazar, Jaime, Pinto & Acuña, 2019;Santeramo, 2018;Velandia, Rejesus, Knight & Sherrick, 2009;Was & Kobus, 2018;Zubor-Nemes, Fogarasi, Molnár & Kemény, 2018). Similar studies have been performed in Brazil, with a focus on price risk management tools (Carrer, Silveira and Souza Filho, 2019;Carrer, Silveira, Souza Filho & Vinholis, 2013;Costa, Castro, Callegario, Andrade & Oliveira, 2015;Cruz, Irwin, Marques, Martines Filho and Bacchi, 2011;Silveira, Cruz & Saes, 2012;Silveira, Maia, Cruz & Saes, 2014) and farm operations management (Carrer, Souza Filho & Batalha, 2017;Vinholis, Souza Filho, Carrer & Chaddad, 2016).…”

Purpose The purpose of this study is to investigate the determinants of agricultural insurance adoption by farmers of the state of São Paulo, Brazil. Design/methodology/approach Primary data from the 2015/2016 crop season was collected from a sample of 175 farmers. Logit econometric models were applied to identify the variables that affect the probability of agricultural insurance adoption. Findings The empirical results show that the education level, access to technical assistance, use of management tools and farm size positively affect the probability of adopting agricultural insurance. In addition, farmers who produce soybean and/or corn are more likely to use insurance. On the other hand, the higher the farmers’ propensity to take risk the lower the likelihood of using insurance. Research limitations/implications The empirical analysis is based on cross-sectional data of a sample of 175 farmers of the state of São Paulo. The use of panel data with a larger sample of farmers, considering a period of years, could provide additional information. Originality/value To the best of the knowledge, this is the first empirical analysis about determinants of agricultural insurance adoption by Brazilian farmers, considering behavioral factors. The findings provide useful insights for policymakers in formulating risk management programs in the Brazilian agricultural markets. A better understanding about the determinants of insurance adoption is also relevant for private companies that sell insurance to farmers. Therefore, the paper may contribute with the diffusion of rural insurance as risk management tool in Brazilian agriculture.

“…The adoption of technology, which is characterized by its use by a company or individual at a given moment in time, is understood as a separated moment from the innovation process. Adoption results from an individual decision influenced by a set of factors that affect an individual's perception of the expected usefulness of the technology (Sunding & Zilberman, 2001;Vinholis et al, 2015;Carrer et al, 2022). The adoption of an innovation by a group of individuals or companies over time represents the diffusion of the technological innovation.…”

This paper analyzed the level of adoption and compared characteristics of adopters and non-adopters of Industry 4.0 technologies. Primary data for the year 2021 were collected by means of a structured questionnaire applied to 30 small and medium-sized companies of the metallurgical sector, who operate with machining processes, in the state of São Paulo. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistical measures and correlation estimates. The technologies adopted by the companies in the sample were: Cloud Computing (10 companies), Horizontal and Vertical Integration Systems (5 companies), Big Data (4 companies) and Industrial Internet of Things (4 companies). The comparative analysis between the characteristics of adopters and non-adopters showed that: (I) adopters have, much more frequently, employees with ICT capabilities and also more frequently hire ICT consulting services; (II) the use of ERP and MRP systems is much higher among companies that adopt Industry 4.0 technologies; (III) adopters participate more frequently in cooperation programs with Universities, Science and Technology Institutes or Research and Technological Development Promotion Agencies; (IV) companies that adopt 4.0 technologies have a greater perception of relative advantage and compatibility of these technologies.

“…Agricultural entrepreneurship is often related to the diversification of activities in farms, where networking is crucial to promote changes within businesses [56][57][58] and to promote exchanges in experience [59]. However, this networking between the several agricultural and rural stakeholders is not always symmetric and does not provide benefits for everyone [60].…”

Entrepreneurship is sometimes seen as a glimmer of hope which may bring about some contribution towards improving economic dynamics and performance, specifically in the creation of employment by young people, in general, with further educational training, greater flexibility and who are better prepared for working with new technologies. However, entrepreneurship in the agricultural sector is, in certain circumstances, viewed as being something incompatible or, at least, difficult to implement. More scientific studies in these fields could provide interesting contributions on the road to highlighting new ideas inside the farming sector. In this framework, the objective of this study is to explore the entrepreneurship dimensions within the European Union agriculture towards a more sustainable sector. In fact, without an economic dimension in farm management, its sustainability in the medium and long run may be compromised, increasing the abandonment of farming, namely in more disadvantaged regions. For this, the literature which is available on the platform Web of Science relating to the following three topics was initially analysed: entrepreneurship, agriculture, and the European Union. This literature was clustered through the VOSviewer software, an interesting tool for performing bibliometric analysis. Secondly, statistical information related to European Union agricultural entrepreneurship considering empirical approaches was also explored. The analysis carried out shows that the realities across European Union countries are, in fact, different, where the instruments from the common agricultural policies, for example, may play a crucial role in promoting more farming entrepreneurship in a more sustainable way.
