Abstract

Small-scale farmers face unique challenges. In this review, we conceptualize small farm success by aggregating and categorizing results from recent (post-2000) literature on small farm success factors and producer needs assessments. Our findings suggest that small farm success is multifaceted and not limited to profitability. We find that small farms have a diverse range of needs, though little has been done to rank their importance. We conclude that future research would benefit from increased methodological transparency and a systematic approach to needs evaluation. We consider the role of Extension professionals regarding the continued success of small farms.

是什么让一个小农场成功?成功因素、需求和挑战综述
小农面临着独特的挑战。在这篇综述中,我们通过汇总和分类最近(2000年后)关于小农场成功因素和生产者需求评估的文献结果,对小农场成功进行了概念化。我们的研究结果表明,小农场的成功是多方面的,并不局限于盈利能力。我们发现,小农场有各种各样的需求,尽管对它们的重要性进行排名的工作很少。我们的结论是,未来的研究将受益于增加的方法透明度和系统的需求评估方法。我们考虑推广专业人员在小农场持续成功方面的作用。
