Gender and the environmental concerns of young farmers: Do young women farmers make a difference on family farms?

What drives family farm size growth in Hungary?

“…Farms managed by women were less liable to grow than farms managed by men in the 25th and 50th quantiles. This finding does not support that of Unay-Gailhard and Bojnec (2021) regarding the gender on Slovenian family farms. This striking finding might suggest that gender imbalances in Hungarian family farm leadership are a potential source of family farm entrepreneurship, including on- and off-farm activities such as farm tourism and other farm-related supplementary activities.…”

“…The value of the gender variable is one if the head of farm is a woman and zero if it is a man. Some previous studies have argued that young female farmers can be more agri-environmental aware and entrepreneurial than their male counterparts ( Unay-Gailhard and Bojnec, 2021 ) – this finding serves to justify assigning a score of ‘1’ to female gender.…”

Eco-Innovations Transition of Agri-food Enterprises Into a Circular Economy

“…Indeed, various studies demonstrate that bio-based products continue to face technological and operational impediments (Gatto and Re, 2021), making access to product and process innovations inside food enterprises challenging. Several barriers include: high investment costs (Unay-Gailhard and Bojnec, 2016; Jaeger and Upadhyay, 2020); lack of appropriate technology (Borrello et al, 2016;Clark et al, 2019;Farooque et al, 2019;Sharma et al, 2019;Gedam et al, 2021); lack of financial and government support (Rizos et al, 2015;Urbinati et al, 2017;Kirchherr et al, 2018;Mangla et al, 2018;Ranta et al, 2018;Farooque et al, 2019;Sharma et al, 2019); administrative burdens (Rizos et al, 2015); inadequate information management systems (Romero and Molina, 2011;Rizos et al, 2015); social barriers related to lack of interest and awareness by enterprises and customers (Kirchherr et al, 2018;Singh and Giacosa, 2019;Singh et al, 2021); lack of qualified personnel (de Jesus and Mendonça, 2018; Korhonen et al, 2018a,b;Stewart and Niero, 2018;Guldmann and Huulgaard, 2020); lack of support from top management, lack of circular design (Lahane et al, 2020); lack of network support (Jabbour et al, 2020;Jaeger and Upadhyay, 2020;Chhimwal et al, 2021); lack of know-how (Farooque et al, 2019;Sharma et al, 2019;Unay-Gailhard and Bojnec, 2021); lack of reverse logistics management (Borrello et al, 2016;Clark et al, 2019;Gedam et al, 2021); lack of cross-sectoral cooperation (Rizos et al, 2016;…”

Gender equality, education, economic growth and religious tensions nexus in developing countries: A spatial analysis approach

“…However, increasing women's participation in the agriculture sector would have healthy social and environmental effects. For instance, Unay-Gailhard and Bojnec (2021) claimed that increasing young women farmers would promote environmentally friendly farming to a greater extent compared to young men farmers. Uma et al.…”
