“…Drawing insights from the CCF, we advance the argument that the overemphasis on the political dimension of the process or alternatively decapitalisation of social capital (Emery et al, 2013) diffused family social capital which was critical for intergenerational transition and succession. This observation is consistent with other scholarly works (Coeurderoy and Lwango, 2012;Dudek, 2016;Korzensky, 2019) which found out that the dilution of the social capital associated with the traditional family system handicapped the smooth inter-and intragenerational transmission of farms. The programme constrained social capital as it partly tore apart existing social institutions.…”

The influence of succession on organisational sustainability has been widely acknowledged globally, but studies focusing specifically on farms remain relatively limited. This article examines the factors influencing succession in the newly occupied farms under the fast track land reform programme in Zimbabwe and their implications for the sustainability of the land reform programme. The study followed a qualitative multi-case research design. Data were collected using a combination of unstructured interviews, informal discussions, lived experience narrations and direct observations. Notwithstanding other structural and institutional constraints, the absence of succession arrangements and the politics of survival have been found to be the major threats to sustainability.

“…Within such a broad topic, there is a long-established tradition of analysing the determinants of intra-family farm succession using an empirical approach, mainly at the farm level (Dudek, 2016;Corsi, 2009;Kerbler, 2008;Mishra and El-Osta, 2008;Glauben et al, 2004;Kimhi and Nachlieli, 2001;Stiglbauer and Weiss, 2000). However, the availability or the intention of each child to succeed the family farm has been rarely investigated (Cavicchioli et al, 2015;Aldanondo Ochoa et al, 2007;Mann, 2007;Simeone, 2006).…”

Farm succession is a relevant issue, as it is related to rural and youth migration, sustainability and the ageing of the agricultural sector. Understanding the factors behind the willingness of potential successors to take over the family business is crucial for farm continuity. We examine the factors affecting children's likelihood of carrying on the family business in a sample of 216 potential heirs of Italian horticultural farms. Using local labour market conditions (income gap and employment rate) and surrounding context variables (population density), we plug the farm labour migration/occupational choice theory into farm succession analysis. This approach allows us to treat child succession as the opposite of the choice to migrate out of the farm sector. While farm labour migration theory predicts linear negative effects of labour market/contextual variables on farm transfer, we find that the income gap, employment rates and population density exert both negative and positive effects on child succession, according to their intensity. The pro-succession effects we find suggest that, despite potential threats, the proximity to wealthy areas may represent an opportunity for farm continuity and thriving. We also examine explicitly the effect of child characteristics (gender and birth order), finding that male and first-born potential successors are more likely to take over the family farm, in accordance with results from previous firm succession studies. This finding suggests a persistence of traditional normative beliefs in the agricultural sector.

“…The number of children on the farm is the next accepted criterion that can influence the final score of the variants. In some previous studies (Dudek 2016;Casel and Pettersson 2015;Cavicchioli et al 2015), the authors directly and indirectly address the issue of farm succession by making it dependent on the number of children, education, and interest in taking over the farm. The logic in such cases is simple-as the number of children on the farm increases, the higher the likelihood of a successful farm takeover and, thus, the higher the satisfaction of the current farm owners and an increased improvement in the economic situation on the farm.…”

The question of gender equality is increasingly being raised today and is present at all levels of society. The topicality of the issue on farms is particularly evident, due to the particular inheritance processes on farms, the clear division of labour, and intergenerational cooperation that characterise the agricultural sector. In this research, a multi-criteria model (DEX-SOCIAL) was developed to understand the broader aspect of rural sociology and the issue of women’s status on the farm. The paper discusses the status of women on a farm and assesses their social and economic situation. The methodology includes an online questionnaire in which women in the Eastern and Western Cohesion Regions participated, as well as other farm members and owners. Subsequently, the questions were transformed for the requirements of the assessment model, which assessed the life prospects of women on farms in both the Eastern and Western Cohesion Regions who were aged both over and under 40 years (criteria for “young successor”). The results of the study show that there is a clear difference in the qualitative assessment of women’s socio-economic position in relation to the East–West cohesion region. The social position of women does not differ according to age structure. The conclusions of the study also present broader applications of the results in the field of rural development and rural sociology.
