“…In any case, the multifunctional land organization needs interdisciplinary approaches involving the several stakeholders [64] with the same objectives [65]. However, sometimes the transition from family farming to entrepreneurial management is associated with more stress for farmers, where agricultural policies are one of the causes of stress [66][67][68].…”

Entrepreneurship is sometimes seen as a glimmer of hope which may bring about some contribution towards improving economic dynamics and performance, specifically in the creation of employment by young people, in general, with further educational training, greater flexibility and who are better prepared for working with new technologies. However, entrepreneurship in the agricultural sector is, in certain circumstances, viewed as being something incompatible or, at least, difficult to implement. More scientific studies in these fields could provide interesting contributions on the road to highlighting new ideas inside the farming sector. In this framework, the objective of this study is to explore the entrepreneurship dimensions within the European Union agriculture towards a more sustainable sector. In fact, without an economic dimension in farm management, its sustainability in the medium and long run may be compromised, increasing the abandonment of farming, namely in more disadvantaged regions. For this, the literature which is available on the platform Web of Science relating to the following three topics was initially analysed: entrepreneurship, agriculture, and the European Union. This literature was clustered through the VOSviewer software, an interesting tool for performing bibliometric analysis. Secondly, statistical information related to European Union agricultural entrepreneurship considering empirical approaches was also explored. The analysis carried out shows that the realities across European Union countries are, in fact, different, where the instruments from the common agricultural policies, for example, may play a crucial role in promoting more farming entrepreneurship in a more sustainable way.

“…In another word, they originated from the attempt to operationalize the sustainable land utilization [19]. Over the last decades, the concept of multifunctionality has been widely studied in different realms and a number of new research objects have been formed besides the land use multifunctionality [19,[22][23][24][25][26], such as multifunctional landscape [27][28][29], multifunctional agriculture or rural area [30][31][32][33][34], multifunctional ecosystem services [35], and multifunctional urbanized area [36].…”

Multifunctional zoning is the primary basis for developing differentiated spatial planning systems and management policies of territorial spaces. The purpose of the paper is to generate an integrated multifunctional zoning scheme of the territorial space in Panxi by employing the functional significance assessment funded on the niche theory and its measurement models, in order to benefit the high efficiency land utilization and other socioeconomic development initiatives, such as the industrial poverty alleviation and mountainous urbanization in the regional scale. In this paper, the six main functions of territorial space were selected and the corresponding index systems were established for the Panxi Area. First, the significances of six territorial functions were evaluated using two niche models. Second, the K-means clustering method was employed to cluster the functional significance grades, acquiring the integrated multifunctional zoning scheme after qualitative adjustment. The results showed that the spatial distribution characteristics of the functional significance for territorial spaces were different. Prominent regions with higher functional significance of agricultural production were concentrated in the vicinity of the Anning River Basin. The distributions of higher significance for industrial development and mineral resources supply functions were correlated with the overall economic development in the Panxi Area. The regions with higher functional significance for tourism & leisure showed advantages on tourist attractions’ quality. The regions with higher significance for habitat service and ecosystem services functions presented advantages on good livability and ecological conditions. The integrated multifunctional zoning scheme for territorial space was highly in consistence with the Major Function Oriented Zoning of Sichuan Province and the “Thirteen Five” Development Plan for Panxi Economic Zone. Generally, the results indicated the rationality and feasibility of the research method, which provides a theoretical basis for coordinating and shaping the structure and pattern of territorial spaces, especially in the mountainous environment with distinct geographical as well as functional differences.

“…In the selection of specific indicators, they primarily used alternative indicators that affect the conditions of agricultural production to evaluate the economic benefits of a project. For example, the selected indicators to assess the economic impact include the returns to farmers, the volume of public investment, farmland road transportation, the degree of land fragmentation, the degree of mechanization, land pattern or diseconomies derived from property fragmentation, increasing transportation costs, and lack of mechanization [38,44]. The selected indicators of social impact include changes in farmers' values, motivations and behavior, a personal and social conflict between innovation and values, and population density [38].…”

“…Johansen et al proposed a novel indicator-based approach to assess the collective impact of multifunctional land consolidation to apply land consolidation for increasing the multifunctionality of the landscape. The index system they set up includes 25 specific indicators in five categories (farm economic indicators, environmental indicators, biodiversity conservation indicators, outdoor recreation indicators, and indicators for rural development) [44]. In recent years, evaluation of land consolidation process based on rural stakeholders [45] and assessment based on farmers' satisfaction [46] are gradually paid more attention, which shows that farmers' comprehensive welfare has become the focus of land remediation research.…”

The purpose of land consolidation is to promote moderately sized agricultural operations, intensive land use, concentrated population living and agglomerated industrial development. Previous research has primarily been macro-or mesoscale studies based on land ledger data, and analyzed only the effect of land consolidation on landscape ecological changes, only the resource and economic effects, or social effects or environmental effects of land consolidation. Aimed at addressing these shortcomings, an empirical analysis on the micro-scale based on land use patch data rather than land ledger data was conducted. Then, comprehensive research on land consolidation projects by integrating landscape pattern analysis with production, living, and ecological benefit assessments was performed. Furthermore, the relationship between land consolidation projects and the "Three Concentrations" policy was considered. The results show that: (1) land consolidation has directly or indirectly improved landscape ecological patterns of the project area; and (2) land consolidation has clearly improved the balanced distribution of cultivated land and the concentrated distribution of construction land in the project area. These changes not only improve the living conditions of farmers but also meet the construction requirements of the "Three Concentrations" in the Shanghai metropolitan suburbs.
