“…Using survey data from Canada and the USA, Johnson et al (2009) showed that sole proprietorships can have de facto residual claimants from multiple families. Therefore, sole proprietorships could encapsulate a more complex ownership structure than supposed at first sight (see also Bosc et al, 2015;Moreno-Pérez and Lobley, 2015).…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to provide a multidimensional framework for the identification, description and comparative analysis of alternative farm structures and their properties for economic development. Design/methodology/approach Integrating previous typologies and considering a large set of examples, the authors identify six attributes that are necessary to characterize and compare farm structures: size; strategy; organizational form; legal form; who the owners are; and degree of separation of ownership and control. They also discuss potential complementarities between those organizational attributes and specific features of the institutions of developing and emerging countries, such as contract enforcement and property rights protection regime, and developed capital markets and corporate law. Findings Conceptually and empirically, effective farm structures can deviate from the templates traditionally considered – “small family-owned farm” or “large factory-like corporate farm,” combining structural attributes in diverse ways. The dimensionalization of farm structures also helps in revealing complementary institutional traits at the regional or larger system level that may foster development processes. Research limitations/implications The paper is limited to theory building and case-based evidence. Nevertheless, it provides dimensions that can be measured on a larger scale and by quantitative studies. Originality/value This paper sheds light on organizational diversity in agriculture and on a wider set of feasible development paths.

“…Family Farming is a means of organizing agricultural, forestry, fisheries, pastoral and aquaculture production which is managed and operated by a family and predominantly reliant on labour, both women's and men's (Garner and de la O Campos, 2014;Bosc et al, 2015Bosc et al, , 2018.…”

“…La production durable de fruits et légumes demande beaucoup de main-d'oeuvre, constituée en grande partie des membres de la famille dans les petites exploitations. La FAO propose de définir comme suit l'agriculture familiale : « L'agriculture familiale permet d'organiser la production agricole, forestière, halieutique, pastorale ou aquacole qui, sous la gestion d'une famille, repose principalement sur de la main-d'oeuvre familiale, aussi bien les hommes que les femmes » (Garner et de la O Campos, 2014 ;Bosc et al, 2015Bosc et al, , 2018.…”
