Consumer preferences for sustainability labels on Mediterranean fruits and vegetables in short food supply chains: Environmental vs socioeconomic dimensions
Purpose This study examines consumer preferences for sustainability certifications and labels on fruit and vegetables within short food supply chains in Mediterranean countries. It uniquely contributes by distinguishing between environmental and socioeconomic dimensions of sustainability while assessing how these dimensions influence consumer perceptions and willingness to pay. The study identifies the specific types of information consumers seek…
Farmers’ motives, goals, values, and participation in agricultural training programs: Uncovering the links in short food supply chains
Value seeking, health-conscious or sustainability-concerned? Profiling fruit and vegetable consumers in Euro-Mediterranean countries
Purpose The aim of this study was to investigate consumer preferences and profile their food-related lifestyles, as well as to identify consumer groups with similar attitudes/behaviours in the Euro-Mediterranean fruit and vegetable market. Design/methodology/approach A structured questionnaire was designed drawing from the food related lifestyles instrument and including other factors relevant to fruit and vegetable consumer preferences. The data…
Contextualising digitalisation through ambidexterity and new territorial proximities
Innovating digitally: The new texture of practices in Agriculture 4.0
This research aimed to identify the practices used by actors while innovating digitally in the field of agriculture. We also attempted to depict if and how they experience disruptions associated with the emergence of digital technologies. A qualitative research design permitted us to uncover that work- and system-related disruptions follow the process of agricultural digitalisation. The study also indicated that innovating digitally is a collecti…

Farm advisors amid the transition to Agriculture 4.0: Professional identity, conceptions of the future and future‐specific competencies
The transition to Agriculture 4.0 creates new responsibilities for farm advisors and initiates changes to the professional trajectories. In this work, following a mixed research design, we examine how Greek advisors experience the transition to and anticipate the future of Agriculture 4.0. We also aim at identifying what elements they are changing in their professional identities to respond to the challenges associated with Agriculture 4.0, which…
Knowledge transfer and innovation adoption in women farmers
Purpose The study aims to analyse patterns of innovation adoption among Italian female-owned farms, by evaluating the impact of innovation support services and entrepreneurial orientation on innovation adoption. Design/methodology/approach To explore both the entrepreneurial identity of women farmers and the role of innovation support services in boosting innovation, a questionnaire was administered to a sample of Italian women farmers. A multiva…
Farmer field schools and the co-creation of knowledge and innovation: The mediating role of social capital
Smart farming and short food supply chains: Are they compatible
Evaluating agricultural extension and education projects: The Velvet approach
This practical note presents an alternative, learner-centred model for the evaluation of agricultural extension and/or education projects. The VELVET model is based on six evaluation axes: values, expectations, learning, value change, empowerment, and transformation. Using the identification of farmers’ value systems and the determination of their expectations as a jumping-off point for the evaluation of a project, VELVET assesses the learning ac…
Is current agronomy ready to promote sustainable agriculture? Identifying key skills and competencies needed
The quest for agricultural sustainability generates the need to develop functional support schemes aimed at supplying farmers with knowledge, information and appropriate solutions, thus smoothing the transition towards sustainable agriculture (SA). In this vein, it is expected that agronomists have to play a key role, plotting the course for a sustainable farming future. Nevertheless, a critical question is whether agronomists possess the skills …
Big data in agriculture: Does the new oil lead to sustainability
Green Innovativeness in Farm Enterprises: What Makes Farmers Think Green
This work is based on the conjecture that multiple motivational pathways might lead to the adoption of green innovations. A sequence of two studies was designed to identify motives driving farmers to adopt green innovations. Study 1 aimed at the development of a scale assessing potential adoption motives. Study 2 – using this measure – examined which of these motives predict farmers' adoption behavior. Study 1 uncovered five factors that affect a…
“I'd like to participate, but . . .”: Women farmers' scepticism towards agricultural extension/education programmes
This mixed research is inspired by our desire to explain why rural women are cautious in their attitudes towards agricultural extension/education. Fifty-two women livestock farmers from Thessaly-Greece were randomly selected to participate in the study. Our results indicate that at one end of the spectrum women express a high willingness to participate in agricultural extension/education programmes, while at the other end this willingness is not …
