“…In contrast, women traditionally enter farming through marriage rather than occupational choice. Nowadays, while women have an ‘ invisible’ role on most Irish family farms, some seek to gain recognition for their work by officially sharing asset ownership and management or even by taking on the farmer's role entirely (Byrne et al ., ; Cush et al ., ). In 2016, only 11.6 per cent of Irish farms were registered as women‐held, against an EU average of 35 per cent (Eurostat, ).…”

Summary Family farming is the main model of European agriculture and is a means to promote rural development, agricultural sustainability and safeguarding of cultural heritage. Nevertheless, changes in modern societies and commodity markets lead to disruptions in the traditional family farming model and increasingly challenge its preservation. In this changing environment, many farmers strive to secure intergenerational farm transfer, but women are sometimes still disadvantaged in inheriting the family enterprise. In Ireland, farm succession patterns are dictated by patrilineal socio‐cultural values. This not only causes gender equality issues, but it also limits the poll of potential successors when willing candidates can be scarce. Men occupy the hegemonic position of the farmer and women are subordinated to the role of the farmer's wife. With these gender roles come societal expectations of what a traditional male farmer is. Problems arise from a disconnect between this traditional identity and the current reality of Irish farmers. Reliance on off‐farm income, social isolation and the high pace of societal change contribute to reduced well‐being of rural men. In this context, it is argued that evolution of patriarchal socio‐cultural norms underpinning family farming could lead to a redefinition of gender roles, thereby reducing the pressure on farm men and empowering farm women.

The analysis of this paper is located in the theoretical interplay between the concepts of identity and masculinity, contributing to the ongoing debate on gendered identities and masculinities in family farming. Our focus in this paper is specifically on men who established formal collaborative arrangements (Joint Farming Ventures, JFVs) with fellow farmers, including family members. We present an empirical analysis of primary qualitative data, using the Biographic Narrative Interpretive Method (BNIM), which has particular analytical purchase in the study of identity. Our analysis finds that formal collaborative arrangements in the form of JFVs are employed as resilience strategies by male farmers. The strategies strive to continue the performance of some traditional masculinity traits but markedly involve the renegotiation of hegemonic masculine identity forms, resonant with debates elsewhere on reconstituting gender norms in family farming. Our narrative analysis finds that men's entry to and operation of JFVs entail a conscious and active relinquishing of dominant decisionmaking power on their farms, an openness to the views and opinions of others, and a greater willingness to helpseek and express emotions.

“…Women's off-farm work in particular is frequently cited as a source of empowerment for farm women. However, little attention is paid to the joint strategies of how both men and women together challenge the dominant narrative of gender on the family farm (Cush et al 2018).…”

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk merumuskan indikator sumber daya yang berpengaruh terhadap pengembangan usaha peternakan broiler. Penelitian dilakukan pada bulan Agustus 2017 hingga Januari 2018 di Kabupaten Malang, Provinsi Jawa Timur, Indonesia. Jumlah sampel sebanyak 100 peternak ayam broiler. Variabel penelitian terdiri dari sumber daya finansial, teknologi, fisik, ekonomi, lingkungan, sosial, Sumber Daya Manusia (SDM), dan pengembangan usaha peternakan broiler. Data dianalisis menggunakan metode SEM dengan SmartPLS 2.0. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pengembangan usaha peternakan broiler dipengaruhi secara langsung dan signifikan oleh sumber daya finansial, fisik, ekonomi, dan SDM, namun tidak signifikan oleh sumber daya teknologi, lingkungan, dan sosial. Pengembangan usaha peternakan broiler secara tidak langsung melalui SDM dipengaruhi secara signifikan oleh sumber daya finansial, teknologi, fisik, dan ekonomi. Kesimpulan dari penelitian ialah sumber daya teknologi berperan penting walau tidak secara langsung karena harus didukung oleh SDM peternak dalam pengembangan usaha peternakan broiler.
