Agricultural Holdings in Hilly-Mountain Areas in Slovenia before and after the Accession to the European Union

Abstract

Abstractis paper presents the questionnaire results of the research on implications of the e ects of Slovenia's accession to the European Union (EU) on structural changes in agricultural holdings (AHs) in the case of Ško eloška hilly-mountain rural areas. e e ects are studied based on the analysis of income diversi cation of AHs three years before the Slovenian accession to the EU in 2000 and six years a er the Slovenian accession to the EU in 2010. Strategies of AHs on the basis of the questionnaire were analysed in early 2011. Income diversi cation of AHs with non-agricultural employment and o -farm incomes is necessary for survival for the majority of AHs. ere are observed di erences in structural changes in the AHs between areas with di erent natural conditions for agricultural production, and particularly in the extent and in the direction of structural changes by socioeconomic types of AHs. Structural changes inhibit non-economic objectives of AHs, while non-agricultural employment has a two-way in uence.

Assessing and Understanding the Drivers of Farm Income Risk: Evidence From Slovenia

“…Second, agricultural production in Slovenia is handicapped by a weak natural agricultural factor endowment consisting of a relatively high share of farms operating in LFAs -among EU member states Slovenia is first in terms of percentage of farms and land operated in LFAs (Unay Bojnec, 2015, 2016;Barath et al, 2018). This specific situation is of relevance for agriculture and the countryside as a large percentage of farm income is derived from various subsidies, particularly in hilly and mountain areas (Knific and Bojnec, 2015), and may also be one of the reasons that Slovenian agriculture has always been heavily subsidized (OECD, 2001;Bojnec and Latruffe, 2013;Pintar, 2016).…”

Investigation of conceptual networks related to climate change among inhabitants: A case study in Eastern Hungarian settlements with word association method

“…In the EU, 23% of the respondents considered climate change to be the world's most serious problem, while in the case of Hungarian respondents the figure was slightly lower, but can be considered very significant, at 17%. Questionnaire survey is a methodology applied in numerous scientific fields (Radu 2012;Knific and Bojnec 2015;Yarkova and Mutafov 2017;Bednarek-Szczepańska 2019). Questionnaire surveying in relation to climate change among the population is also widespread globally (Greenhill et al 2014;Tranter and Booth 2015;Ziegler 2017;van der Linden 2018;Goldberg et al 2019;Poortinga et al 2019;Ballew et al 2020).…”
