The online portrayal of urban farmers: Professionals’ perspectives on their influence on constructing farming-career paths
How do urban agriculture initiatives communicate on farming across society? An exploration of awareness, responsibility, and pride messages on social media
Generational renewal problems in the farming sector highlight the urgent need to attract new farmers and address misconceptions about agricultural careers. This can be achieved by strengthening the connection between the farming community and society. Emphasizing the alternative food movement’s role in attracting new-generation farmers, we focus on the urban agriculture movement and its communication efforts to better understand the changing rela…
An examination of digital empathy: When farmers speak for the climate through TikTok
Food production contributes to and is affected by climate change. With this dual-sided nature of food production, separate from policymakers, the media, scientists, and activists, how climate dialogue engagement occurs when farmers speak about climate is the interest of this research. Due to the important role of youth in climate activism, we analyze climate dialogue engagement on the youthful platform of TikTok during the most recent United Nati…
Young Farmers in 'The New World of Work: The Contribution of New Media to the Work Engagement and Professional Identities
This study aims to explore the contribution of 'The New World of Work' to farming, a career often viewed as unattractive among youth, and, as highlighted by the 'young farmer problem' in the literature. This paper draws upon research on the role of 'new ways of working' in work engagement and farmer identity among young farmers. A mixed-method approach is used based on data from two Mediterranean Islands, Crete and Cyprus. Based on the polymedia-…
How digital communications contribute to shaping the career paths of youth: A review study focused on farming as a career option
Can the power of digital communications create opportunities for overcoming generational renewal problems on farms? This interdisciplinary review explores the reported impacts of digital communication on career initiation into farming from a global perspective via the lens of career theories. Seventy-three papers were synthesized into two domains: (1) the impact of digital communication interactions on farming career initiation, and (2) the dynam…
Becoming a Young Farmer in the Digital Age-An Island Perspective
This study investigates the career construction paths of young farmers and aims to contribute to the literature on the 'young farmer problem.' Of particular relevance is this study's focus on the potential of islands as a new career landscape in the digital age. Young farmers' subjective experiences toward careers were analyzed based on narrative interviews, quantitative surveys and expert interviews from two EU islands: Crete and the Azores. Fir…
Gender and the environmental concerns of young farmers: Do young women farmers make a difference on family farms
Although the visibility of women farmers in agriculture is increasing, we have little knowledge about the impact this will have on the environmental management of family farms. Numerous studies have documented that young women farmers show high concern for environmentally friendly farming practices relative to young male farmers. However, family farms are still a prominent business form globally, and it is still unclear whether or not we can expe…

Public support effect on natural disaster management: A case study of ice storms in forests in Slovenia
I Don't Want to Work in Agriculture!' The Transition from Agricultural Education to the Labor Market in Rural Russia
In Russia, the shift in career incentives from agriculture-related jobs to other sectors, even among agriculturally educated students, presents two main challenges to rural labor markets. The first relates to the shortage of agricultural employees. The second concerns difficulties in the school-to-work transition, characterized by long periods of unemployment. This article addresses these challenges by studying the career incentives of postsecond…
Job access after leaving education: A comparative analysis of young women and men in rural Germany
Rural labour markets for youth are an interesting research area for labour force transition studies because gender differences begin to appear with the out-migration that leads to a shortage of young women in Europe. Whilst existing studies provide insight into this migration flow, little is known about the young women and men who remain in the labour force in rural areas. The aim of this study is to provide insight into the determinants of job a…
