Abstract

PurposeThis study seeks to identify and highlight the factors that hinder or favor young farmers in the quest to abide in the agricultural profession and to draw policy directions and axes of action to address the problem.Design/methodology/approachThe study used a triangulation research approach with quantitative and qualitative methodologies. In total, 222 structured questionnaires and 9 personal interviews constituted the survey's data collection tools.FindingsThe results revealed a distinctive distribution of competencies. On the one hand, personal and entrepreneurial competencies make up the “strengths” of young farmers, and on the other hand, the lack of cooperative organizations and the lack of entrepreneurial education and training combined with a series of situational factors complete the puzzle of “weaknesses” the farmers face in the local daily becoming.Research limitations/implicationsThe findings of this study have academic and policy implications. Theoretically, this study contributes to the emerging literature that emphasizes the importance of farmers' competencies, collaboration, information and training in understanding the complex and different conditions that young farmers are called upon to manage.Originality/valueThe novelty of this study lies in the identification of both strengths and weaknesses that affect the abiding of young farmers in the agricultural profession.

年轻农民在希腊农村生活的优势和劣势:一种三角法
目的本研究旨在识别和突出阻碍或有利于年轻农民从事农业职业的因素,并制定政策方向和行动轴来解决这一问题。设计/方法/方法本研究采用了定量和定性相结合的三角测量研究方法。共有222份结构化问卷和9份个人访谈构成了调查的数据收集工具。研究结果揭示了一种独特的能力分布。一方面,个人能力和创业能力构成了青年农民的“优势”,另一方面,缺乏合作组织,缺乏创业教育和培训,再加上一系列情境因素,构成了农民在当地日常成长中面临的“劣势”之谜。研究局限/启示本研究的结果具有学术和政策意义。从理论上讲,这项研究有助于新兴文献强调农民的能力、合作、信息和培训的重要性,以理解年轻农民被要求管理的复杂和不同的条件。独创性/价值本研究的新颖之处在于确定了影响青年农民从事农业职业的优势和劣势。
