“…The consequences of this are reflected in insufficient household income [32]. There is an ongoing debate in the literature on whether small farms should play the role of "landscape guardians" at the expense of public support and economic vegetation, or should they strive to improve productivity [33][34][35]. Although farmers play an important role in ensuring food security (e.g., at the national level), they are also exposed to food insecurity at the household level.…”

Food Insecurity among Small-Scale Farmers in Poland

et al. 2020

The problem of food insecurity is generally associated with developing countries, but at the household level it also occurs in developed countries, especially in socially vulnerable groups, such as small-scale farms. However, the issue of food insecurity in developed countries, especially at the household level, is rather neglected in the scientific literature. This study was conducted to fill this gap and examine the level of food insecurity among small-scale farms in Poland. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire from 710 small-scale farms in Poland. The incidence and degree of food insecurity was measured with the Household Food Insecurity Access Scale (HFIAS). The study found that about 43% of the respondents were exposed to food insecurity, including almost 9% to severe food insecurity, which is well above the average for the entire Polish population. By applying cross-tabulation and the zero-inflated Poisson regression model, the study found that the higher age and secondary or higher education of the farm manager, having children in the household and higher land productivity have a statistically significant negative influence on households’ food insecurity (i.e., decreased HFIAS score). On the contrary, family size of five or more and production type “permanent crops” and “dairy cows” have a statistically significant positive influence on households’ food insecurity (i.e., increased HFIAS score).

“…The impact of public services on residents’ consumption is mainly reflected in the following two aspects. First of all, the income effect, with the improvement of public service supply level, will reduce consumer spending in the field of social public service level, indirectly increase residents’ disposable income, and lead to the improvement of residents’ consumption level (Czyewski et al, 2021 ). Second, the substitution effect.…”

China has the largest market potential in the world, but the resident consumption rate is relatively low. Releasing China’s consumption potential will contribute to the sustainable growth of China’s economy and the global economic recovery. Based on the supply of basic public services, this study analyzes the income and substitution effects of basic public services on residents’ consumption, with a view to finding channels and measures to stimulate residents’ consumption from the public sector. We first used the TOPSIS method of entropy weight to evaluate the public service level of 31 provinces in China, and then built a regression model to analyze the impact of public services on residents’ consumption, urban residents’ consumption, rural residents’ consumption, and the consumption gap between urban and rural residents. The study found that the improvement of public services has a significant positive effect on consumption, while public services also have a positive effect on narrowing the consumption gap between urban and rural residents, but the impact on urban and rural residents is different, and the positive effect on urban residents’ consumption is higher than that of rural residents. Based on the research results, this paper puts forward policy implications. On the one hand, we should increase the expenditure on basic public services, and on the other hand, we should optimize the layout of basic public services between urban and rural areas.

“…Subsidizing in agritourism is an important tool in the diversification and survival of people in rural areas [46,48]. The existence of an internal relationship between the producers and nature directly affects the level of income of the producers [2].…”

“…Tourist activities in rural areas are a very promising direction, where agritourism has a very large impact on regional development, which contributes to the preservation of tradition, culture, and economic gain [1]. Rural areas are those in which a set of ecological and cultural public goods creates an image of the condition of a locality, while agro scenes as such give people a direct value such as food, and cultural and ecological benefits such as natural resources (forests, mountains, rivers, lakes, nature reserves, cultural monuments) [2][3][4]. However, another factor has a crucial role, and that is certainly the structure of the population, because the producers themselves are usually not ready to pay for public goods, which is pronounced in the middle developed countries of Central and Eastern Europe, where Serbia is [2].…”

Agritourism as a special type of tourist migration is a very important link in the diversification of rural areas, connecting the geography, culture, tradition, and gastronomy of the local population, and placing products and services through the hospitality and tourism market. Thanks to this form of tourism, underdeveloped places are gaining in importance and attracting the attention of visitors who are oriented towards natural things, which in turn contributes to a better economic situation of the locality and the population. This paper aims to examine the attitudes of farm owners in the Republic of Serbia toward the impact of agritourism on the economy, living environment, social life, and culture. The data were collected by surveying the owners of agricultural holdings in the territory of the Republic of Serbia and statistically processed using factor analysis, descriptive statistics, and linear regression. Based on the obtained results, it has been established that the owners of agricultural farms are interested in the development of agritourism, and that their positive perception of the impact that agritourism has on the living environment and economy greatly contributes to that. To a lesser extent, a positive attitude was noted toward the importance of agrotourism for the local community and locals, where the positive aspects of agritourism were the education of visitors on agriculture, promotion of the local culture, agricultural and gastronomic products, and sustainable development and investment in infrastructure.
