“…The spatial and economic expansion of agro-industrial food systems can cause productive and livelihood exclusion of small farmers, and local and regional effects such as deforestation, competition for water resources, concentration of land ownership, low generation of employment, health impacts, increased carbon footprint, decreased energy efficiency and increased nonreusable waste [92]. Hogeland [103] studied the response of agricultural cooperatives to the industrialization of agriculture in the United States in the 20th century, which challenged the primacy of family farming by disseminating a competitive production model based on vertical integration. Decisions commonly made by family farmers, such as what to produce, where, when, and for what market, were co-opted by the corporate hierarchy.…”

Rural and agricultural modernization and industrialization (RAMI) increased in recent decades in a multiscalar way. RAMI has implied the rural landscape transformation through the arrival of industrial models. These processes have not been linear or unidirectional; heterogeneities, opposites, mosaics, hybridizations, new interactions, problems, and tensions, between traditional and industrial agriculture and other agriculture types, have emerged. We tackle and problematized the RAMI processes, which is a complex and a real-world problem, from Sustainability Science (SS) and transdisciplinarity. Thus, considering studies and experiences in different rural areas in the world, an epistemological positioning is presented, which allows overcoming scientific frontiers and relating it to rural sustainability. We delve into the Lake Pátzcuaro Basin (LPB), Mexico, an area with a strong agricultural tradition (“milpa” systems). Recently, the presence of industrial agriculture (mainly avocado monoculture and berry greenhouses) has increased, occurring the coexistence between peasant-entrepreneurs, indigenous–non-indigenous, and new-rural. The article aims to understand comprehensively the emerging complexities from the RAMI, deepening LPB’s real case. The epistemological approach developed allow us to conceive the interaction and possible complementation between traditional agriculture, industrial agriculture and other agriculture types, and the emergence of an included middle that corresponds to an “emerging complexity”. Finally, relevant topics and questions are highlighted.

“…It shows that the more access farmers in obtaining financial resources, the higher the quality of broiler farmer. Huang et al (2018) says that contract farming has been increasingly found to benefit smallholders in developing countries, yet much less is known about its role in the poultry industry where economies of scale could be more prominent, but direct experience with producer contracting allowed cooperatives to evade institutional and ideological lock-in (Hogeland 2015).…”

DOI: http://dx.Aksesibilitas terhadap sumber daya secara teori berpengaruh terhadap pengembangan usaha peternakan broiler di suatu wilayah. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk merumuskan indikator sumber daya yang berpengaruh terhadap pengembangan usaha peternakan broiler. Penelitian dilakukan pada bulan Agustus 2017 hingga Januari 2018 di Kabupaten Malang, Provinsi Jawa Timur, Indonesia. Jumlah sampel sebanyak 100 peternak ayam broiler. Variabel penelitian terdiri dari sumber daya finansial, teknologi, fisik, ekonomi, lingkungan, sosial, Sumber Daya Manusia (SDM), dan pengembangan usaha peternakan broiler. Data dianalisis menggunakan metode SEM dengan SmartPLS 2.0. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pengembangan usaha peternakan broiler dipengaruhi secara langsung dan signifikan oleh sumber daya finansial, fisik, ekonomi, dan SDM, namun tidak signifikan oleh sumber daya teknologi, lingkungan, dan sosial. Pengembangan usaha peternakan broiler secara tidak langsung melalui SDM dipengaruhi secara signifikan oleh sumber daya finansial, teknologi, fisik, dan ekonomi. Kesimpulan dari penelitian ialah sumber daya teknologi berperan penting walau tidak secara langsung karena harus didukung oleh SDM peternak dalam pengembangan usaha peternakan broiler.

“…Transaction cost economics, associated with Ronald Coase and Oliver Williamson, has been highly influential in much social science research in recent decades, and bears significant potential for explaining important aspects of the economic behavior of farmers, farm organizations, agricultural businesses, and farm policymakers. 39 Among other insights, transaction cost economics offers a mode for understanding and explaining the boundaries between markets, firms, and states-clearly a matter of interest in agricultural history, particularly in relation to farm policy. Heterodox approaches to economics, including evolutionary economics and behavioral economics, could deepen our historical understanding of farmers' embeddedness in complicated and dynamic organizations and markets.…”

The field of agricultural history could benefit from interdisciplinary engagement with theoretical work. Rather than chiding agricultural historians for avoiding theory, this essay suggests specific ways in which many agricultural historians are already engaging with theory. In particular the practice of colligation may be an especially productive mode for agricultural historians to broaden the audience for their research and enrich their teaching. The essay concludes with a brief set of possibilities for building on theories in economics, geography, sociology and anthropology, and political science.
