“…How have French farm managers re-structured the work on their farms over the last 20 years? Despite their obvious importance, these issues have received little coverage in the literature, with the exception of rare pieces (Mundler & Laurent, 2005;Harff & Lamarche, 2007;Béguin et al, 2011;Gasselin et al, 2014;Hostiou, 2016;Forget et al, 2019).…”

We study the impact of the health crisis on the activity of more than 645,000 French companies using individual data to estimate their monthly turnover. Our microsimulation model is innovative in three ways. First, we quantify the loss of activity with respect to a non-crisis counterfactual situation to take into into account companies' growth trajectories before the pandemic when discussing the consequences of the crisis. Second, we estimate this shock at the individual level to study the heterogeneity of loss of business. We highlight the disparities of the shock both between and within sectors. The sector explains up to 48% of the variance of the monthly activity shocks observed in 2020, a much larger proportion than in a normal year. Finally, we identify four profiles of activity trajectories in 2020. The industry is the primary determinant of belonging to these profiles. Conditionally to the sector, these profiles are also correlated with the organisational adaptation of companies.

“…The practice of solidarity is considered as one of the basic principles of social cohesion within kinship systems, sharing common values and norms [13]. Agriculture remains a place for the expression of family solidarity, a breeding ground for social relations, the exchange of know-how and a way of life [24]. Producer organizations are set up to build on these solidarity systems.…”

“…However, children are considered the first form of wealth [25], and their support is, therefore, a primary form of intergenerational solidarity. The aspiration to professional autonomy is also expressed with the legacy of fathers and grandfathers, whose presence sometimes weighs on young farmers who would like to do things their own way [24]. It has been noticed the decline of mechanical solidarity in favor of organic solidarity based on individualistic and reciprocity logics.…”

“…Concerning the type of labor used for agricultural work, there has been a decline in community work in favor of salaried work or new forms of mutual aid groups working in reciprocity to each other. For authors [24] the family can be an asset for sustainability, transmission, and solidarity just as it can be akin to a heavy inheritance, a place of oppression and its openness allows a strengthen links with other sectors of society. The disassociation has an impact on the weakest, who no longer benefit from the support and security that belonging to this family group provides.…”

Farms in cotton production areas in West Africa have been undergoing environmental, economic, and social transformation, which is contributing to a restructuring of families. Drawing on sociological theories on family models and the functioning of agricultural families, this study collected data through formal and informal interviews with 349 randomly selected cotton producers in Northern Benin. Focus group interviews were also conducted. Data analysis was done through speech analysis and quantitative methods. Results revealed the crucial role of cotton production in the transformation of agrarian systems and land use. Cotton production has become the mainstay of farm development in cotton-growing regions. The economic and technical transformation of farms in the region resulted in significant changes in the allocation of production factors within households as well as in the structure of families. Furthermore, new economic and social challenges led to a decentralization of farm manager responsibilities, and the redistribution of roles and resources. Overall, new forms of farm management emerged within families, which are gradually becoming restructured. Families agricultural models are increasingly fragmenting towards nuclear models. The multiplication of decision-making units coupled with the fragmentation of farm assets calls into question farm sustainability. This study sheds light on the ongoing process in Benin’s cotton zones and the issue of their sustainability.

“…Farm transfer is indeed a key step for farm trajectories. For instance, the likelihood of transferring farms to identified successors contributes to maintaining farm-investment dynamics that foster the viability of agricultural systems (Akimowicz et al, 2013;Gasselin et al, 2014;Valliant et al, 2019). Interestingly, peri-urban agriculture also demonstrates specificities during the turning point of farm succession and take-over.…”

Peri-urban agriculture can foster the resilience of metropolitan areas through the provision of local food and other multifunctional agricultural amenities and externalities. However, in peri-urban areas, farming is characterized by strong social uncertainties, which slow the intergenerational transfer of farm operations. In this article, we tackle the beliefs that underlie farmers' decision-making to identify planning opportunities that may support farm intergenerational transfers. The design of an institutionalist conceptual framework based on Keynesian uncertainty and Commonsian Futurity aims to analyze farmers' beliefs associated with farm intergenerational transfer dynamics. The dataset of this comparative analysis includes 41 interviews with farmers involved in animal, cash-crop, and horticulture farming in the urban-influenced Ontario's Greenbelt, Canada, and Toulouse InterSCoT, France, during which farmers designed a mental model of their investment decision-making. The results highlight the dominance of a capital-intensive farm model framed by a money-land-market nexus that slows farm structural change. The subsequent access inequalities, which are based on characteristics of farmers and their farm projects, support the idea of the existence of an agricultural intersectionality. The results also highlight the positive role of the institutional context; when farmers' beliefs are well-aligned with the beliefs that shape their institutional environment, the frictions that slow farm structural change in peri-urban areas are moderated by a shared vision of the future.
