“…Both hobby and part-time farming are familiar in many parts of the developed world, especially in the hinterland of major cities where some urban residents acquire farmland in pursuit of "rural lifestyles" on smallholdings or for farmers to downsize as they prepare for retirement or property sales (Opitz et al, 2016). This trend is not new in the United Kingdom (Britton, 1951) or the United States, where Daniels (1986) observed that hobby farms involved less than two full day's work per week, occupied smallholdings, and generated little income. Some debates in Canada focused on whether part-time farming was a "problem or a resource in rural development" (Fuller & Mage, 1976).…”

Hobby and part‐time farming have become important elements of agricultural development in peri‐urban areas of developed countries. Although there has been renewed interest recently in examining the characteristics of this farming, studies have rarely attempted to consider its role in transitional multifunctional landscapes. This article reports on research in the Adelaide Hills, South Australia, using surveys and semi‐structured interviews to examine contributions of hobby and part‐time farmers to an evolving multifunctionality. Hobby farmers are often recent, well‐educated migrants transferring capital from urban areas to the peri‐urban fringe. They engage in various on‐farm and off‐farm activities, with an emphasis on pro‐environmental actions and/or keeping horses. In contrast, part‐time farmers commonly have a farming background and are often transitioning out of farming while retaining farm‐based enterprises representing up to half their household income. While hobby farmers are seeking amenity value from the fringe, part‐time farmers are a more integral component of the conventional rural economy. A re‐evaluation of the importance of the growing numbers of hobby and part‐time farmers is vital as urbanisation pressures increase in peri‐urban fringes of major Australian cities. These farmers represent an important bulwark against urban sprawl, helping to retain agricultural and environmental land uses on the fringe.

V-Dem Country Coding Units V8

et al. 2018

This document lists (a) every country in the envisioned V-Dem database, (b) the identities of each polity that comprises a country's history through the twentieth and twenty-first centuries (e.g., Russia-USSR); (c) the years for which we have collected data or plan to collect data (in parentheses next to the entry); and (d) the borders of each country (wherever this might be unclear). Many dates are approximate due to the inconclusive nature of a country's history. Note that changes in sovereignty often occur by stages, and marking these stages with specific dates can be challenging. General sources for compiling this document include Wikipedia and Statesman.org. Additional sources, along with notes pertaining to specific countries, empires, and federations are contained in a separate document: "Countries, Empires, Elections (misc notes)" "Country" A V-Dem country is a political unit enjoying at least some degree of functional and/or formal sovereignty. Generally, wherever countries are formally sovereign (in international law) they are treated as countries in V-Dem. However, the recognized sovereignty of a country in international law is sometimes more extensive than the definition of a country in V-Dem. For example, China claims formal sovereignty over Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan (at least, according to the PRC), while we regard these entities as separate countries because they enjoy a good deal of autonomy and because their polities work differently than the PRC's.
