Impulses towards a multifunctional transition in rural Australia: Gaps in the research agenda

Article Abstract:

The direction, complexity and pace of rural change in western societies can be conceptualized as a multifunctional transition, in which a variable mix of consumption and protection values has emerged, contesting the former dominance of production values, and leading to greater complexity and heterogeneity in rural occupance. Australia's generous supply of land and sparse investment in agriculture has facilitated local transitions towards enhanced consumption and protection values, enabling a clearer delineation of emerging differentiated modes of rural occupance.

Injecting social psychology theory into conceptualisations of agricultural agency: Towards a post-productive farmer self-identity?

Article Abstract:

A survey of farmers in Bedfordshire (UK) and other Europe and Western agricultural regimes is conducted to find the extent to which farmers' self-concepts and attitudes towards post-productivist approaches are compatible with the structural changes in agriculture. There is a temporal discordance between the macro- and micro-structural elements of transition implied in the productivist/post-productivist/multifunctionality model, and that all are witnessing at most a partial macro-structural driven transition towards a post-productivist agricultural regime.
