“…The agricultural context in the European Union is, indeed, complex, considering the diversity of realities between countries and regions; however, these frameworks are sometimes considered as benchmarks for other countries [5] because there are relevant examples. In turn, some contexts of agricultural development in Europe were also influenced in some parts of history by other global realities, specifically the American one [6] in globalized trade. These scenarios have their implications in the dynamics of entrepreneurship in the agricultural sector, characterized by their specific particularities within several economic activities [7].…”

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.

“…Frem til 1960 var produksjonen og forbruket av kjøtt i Spania lavt sammenlignet med andre vestlige land. De hadde det laveste forbruket i Europa, og i Frankrike og USA konsumerte innbyggerne årlig tre til fire ganger så mye kjøtt som i Spania (Clar, 2010). Ved århundreskiftet, kun 40 år senere, var imidlertid produksjonen og forbruket per innbygger i Spania på høyde med Frankrike og USA.…”

“…Produksjonen av svinekjøtt hadde kommet på høyde med Frankrike og USA i løpet av bare 20 år, fra 1960 til 1980. Ved århundreskiftet produsert man mer svinekjøtt i Spania enn i de fleste andre større, svinekjøttproduserende land (Clar, 2010).…”

“…Spekeindustrien basert på den iberiske grisen har saerlig skutt fart fra århundreskiftet, etter at bestanden på 1980-tallet hadde blitt kritisk lav som følge av svinepest (Bech-Nielsen m fl., 1993;Arias & Sánchez-Vizcaíno, 2002) og omleggingen til intensiv kjøttproduksjon, som innebar at de lokale griseartene som var avhengige av beite ble skiftet ut med rasktvoksende raser avlet frem for intensiv kjøttproduksjon (Clar, 2010). Veksten i spekenaeringen sammenfalt i tid med etableringen av World Wide Web 2.0 som muliggjorde brukergenerert innhold, etableringen av sosiale plattformer og omfattende bruk av fotografier og audiovisuelle opptak.…”

“…Similarly, livestock has undergone an acute process of concentration of farms, the industrialization of its production processes [30,[58][59][60] and the vertical integration of the agri-food industry, increasing supply and reducing the final product price. Pigs and poultry are a good example of this fundamental transformation [61][62][63][64][65].…”

Decoupling Food from Land: The Evolution of Spanish Agriculture from 1960 to 2010

Abstract:For a large extent of historiography, the history of Spanish agriculture during the twentieth century is a story of success. However, this narrative has been built on monetary analysis, and it does not usually take into account the effects on rural society and agroecosystems. The aim of this paper is to analyze what has happened from a biophysical perspective to ascertain whether transformations linked with industrialization of agriculture have also been positive. For this, we have integrated the results-some unpublished and others already published-of a broader research project about different aspects of food production from a biophysical perspective in Spain, applying methodologies pertaining to the Social Metabolism. Our research seeks to provide a new narrative, emerging through the consideration of environmental aspects of the process, providing a more complex vision of the process of industrialization in European agriculture. The results show that the industrialization of Spanish agriculture has brought about profound changes in land uses and in the functionality of the biomass produced, increasing pressure on croplands and, paradoxically, facilitating the abandonment of an important proportion of pasture and croplands. This has led to the subordination of a very significant portion of Spanish agroecosystems to the feed demands of intensive livestock farming. This process has been based on the injection of large quantities of external energy. Agricultural production has undergone significant growth since the 1960s, but this has been insufficient to deal with the growing demand created by the change in the Spanish diet and the increasing trend to focus on livestock farming. The process of globalization has allowed both roles to be reconciled, although in recent decades Spain has accentuated its role as a net importer of biomass from a biophysical perspective, with very significant impacts on third party countries, particularly in Latin America. From a biophysical perspective, the industrialization of Spanish agriculture has entailed negative consequences that threaten the sustainability of Spanish agroecosystems and also negatively affect the sustainability of other territories.
