“…In addition to diversification and pluriactivity in the North and South, farm households are also engaging in other livelihood strategies, such as joint farm venture and multi-family farm systems. In the South, particularly in Morocco, farm households with larger farm holdings are adapting a multi-family 3 farm system where members leverage on improved management strategies without compromising on local kinship arrangements to achieve economies of scale by using male family labor and skills in strategic farm positions (Sippel, 2016). Joint farm ventures are less common in the Global North, although there are some isolated cases and some proponents of it as a way forward in countries where holdings are small (Macken-Walsh and Roche, 2012; Cush and Macken-Walsh, 2016).This allows for shared control among men and women involved in the venture.…”

“…For example, with the multi-family livelihood system in the South, women within households have lower farm shares than men, and men occupy all the strategic decision-making positions. Sons are usually well integrated into the farm business to ensure successful farm succession by male children with preferential selection of men and sons for participation in the export market with limited emphasis on women (Sippel, 2016). While there is some increase in the number of women farm owners in the North, this needs to be carefully examined, as the tendency is for these to be small and less economically viable than farms owned by men.…”

“…In the Global South, the policy system is somewhat uneven, with different political motives driving the policy arena.As a result, decisions on livelihood strategies are usually geared toward survival, especially in rural communities where poverty levels may be higher (Banerjee and Duflo, 2011). In multi-farm households, however, in the Global South, livelihood path decisions are made to enhance participation in larger export markets and businesses to ensure the expansion and sustainability of the farm households (Sippel, 2016).…”

The Routledge Handbook of Gender and Agriculture covers major theoretical issues as well as critical empirical shifts in gender and agriculture.Gender relations in agriculture are shifting in most regions of the world with changes in the structure of agriculture, the organization of production, international restructuring of value chains, climate change, the global pandemic, and national and multinational policy changes.This book provides a cutting-edge assessment of the field of gender and agriculture, with contributions from both leading scholars and up-and-coming academics as well as policymakers and practitioners.The handbook is organized into four parts: part 1, institutions, markets, and policies; part 2, land, labor, and agrarian transformations; part 3, knowledge, methods, and access to information; and part 4, farming people and identities. The last chapter is an epilogue from many of the contributors focusing on gender, agriculture, and shifting food systems during the coronavirus pandemic. The chapters address both historical subjects as well as ground-breaking work on gender and agriculture, which will help to chart the future of the field.The handbook has an international focus with contributions examining issues at both the global and local levels with contributors from across the world.With contributions from leading academics, policymakers, and practitioners, and with a global outlook, the Routledge Handbook of Gender and Agriculture is an essential reference volume for scholars, students, and practitioners interested in gender and agriculture.

“…These activities can be a trigger for the growth of entrepreneurial spirit so as to contribute to the influence of extension activities on the farmers' agribusiness sustainability as Joose and Grubbstrom (2017) explain that economic growth and development can not be achieved without putting the program in an appropriate focus through empowerment that emphasizes entrepreneurial spirit. This explanation of entrepreneurship is also expressed by Hamilton et al (2015) and Sippel (2016) that building entrepreneurial spirit is a preliminary process for sustainable business. Table 2 shows that farmers' participation has a positive effect on farmers' agribusiness sustainability potential.…”

Era of regional autonomy is marked by the transfer of agricultural extension management from the central government to local governments. That event does not immediately make the implementation of re-education work optimally. Nevertheless, the Bogor government has been trying to manage and organize extension in the hope of increasing the participation of farmers for the agribusiness sustainability. The research aims to analyze descriptively farmer participation and agribusiness sustainability and analyze the factors that influence agribusiness sustainability. The study was conducted in Bogor from July to November 2017. The study population is farmers who are members of farmer groups. Samples in this study are 93 people taken by using multi stage random sampling technique. The study variables consist of internal factors (X1) including age, education level, training, internship, agribusiness experience, perception and motivation. Further variables are external factors (X2), extension activities (X3), program factors (X4), participation of farmers (X5) and agribusiness sustainability (Y). Data were taken using questionnaire, and then, they were analyzed using descriptive statistics and multiple regression. The result showed that participation of farmers in extension activities is high (77.42%) and majority, they had the potential of agribusiness sustainability (87.09%). Factors affecting the agribusiness sustainability of farmers are training, internships, perceptions, motivation, extension activities and participation of farmers in extension activities.

“…Os artigos selecionados nesta classe trabalham também novos paradigmas na literatura acerca do perfil do atual trabalho no campo e pesquisas relacionadas a extensão rural, como, por exemplo a noção de empreendedores agrícolas multifamiliares, em detrimento ao termo agricultura familiar relacionando apenas fator família (Jimenez et al, 2021;Saliot e Tabinas, 2017;Sippel, 2016).…”

Considerando que o tema empreendedorismo e agricultura extensiva ainda é pouco discutido em conjunto e que se mostra de suma importância o presente estudo teve por objetivo demonstrar quais os últimos avanços do empreendedorismo agrícola para o meio agrícola com atividade extensiva por meio de uma análise sistemática da literatura internacional. Como critério de categorização da importância e semelhança dos artigos estudados, foram utilizados os princípios da bibliometria e seguidas as recomendações do Manual de Avaliação do Sistema de Intervenção Cochrane. Os resultados apontaram os quatro temas mais comuns: o primeiro foi um artigo sobre empreendedorismo digital no contexto agrícola; a segunda parte foi composta por pesquisas relacionadas à educação para o empreendedorismo; a terceira parte trata dos tipos e características das empresas agrícolas, e a quarta parte envolve os aspectos psicológicos do empreendedorismo. A consideração sobre os aspectos económicos, como apoio financeiro, relações parentais, educação rural e apoio governamental para esses produtores, foram fundamentais para o desenvolvimento de novos negócios que tenham sucesso nas áreas rurais.
