Drawing on data from the SALSA Project, the study has found that besides self-provision, OSFs are engaged in multiple types of integration, including reciprocity relations as well as relat...
Assessing the role of small farms in regional food systems in Europe: Evidence ...
Rivera, Maria; Guarín, Alejandro; Pinto-Correia, Teresa; Almaas, Henrik; Arnalte, Laura; Burns, Vanessa; Czekaj, Marta; Ellis, Rowan; Galli, RowanThe importance of small farms is well established and recognized in developing countries, but far less is known about their role in Europe, where agriculture is largely industrialized. In this paper we use a comparative analysis of evidence from 15 European countries to assess the contribution of small farms to regional food production and availability, across geographies and products. We collected information ...
How do small farms contribute to food and nutrition security? Linking European ...
Galli, Francesca; Grando, Stephano; Adamsone, Anda; Bjorkhaug, Hilde; Czekaj, Marta; Duckett, Dominic; Almaas, Henrik; Karanikolas, PavlosDespite a longstanding literature on small farm-households, there is limited consideration of small farms’ role in food and nutrition security (FNS) at territorial level. The purpose of this study is to provide insights about how small farms contribute to FNS at different territorial scales, by focusing on farmers' strategies and consequential FNS outcomes. Analysis is based on two years (2017–2019) of field wo...
