“…Therefore, they need to obtain new resource through weak relationships (Schwabe et al, 2022). Strong relationships can help family farms enter the peripheral position of rural social networks too (Mincyte, 2023). As a result of improved business models, family farms gradually occupy the core rural social network to obtain more entrepreneurial opportunities (Wilson and Tonner, 2020;Ochago et al, 2023).…”

Family farm sustainability is an essential guarantee for increasing the resilience of food systems. Based on the network embeddedness theory and entrepreneurial bricolage theory, an exploratory longitudinal case study was adopted. The value-creating behaviors of family farms in different entrepreneurial periods were described and a process model of family farms sustainability with network embeddedness and entrepreneurial bricolage was constructed. The study revealed that family farms faced resource constraints such as shortage of element resources, insufficient market resources and lack of knowledge resources during the induction, start-up, and growth periods, respectively. In order to overcome resource constraints in different entrepreneurial periods, family farms employed multiple network embeddedness ways including relational embeddedness, structural embeddedness and cognitive embeddedness to seek help from actors in the rural social network. Family farms embedded in multiple networks used the entrepreneurial bricolage strategy of “element bricolage – market bricolage – institutional bricolage” to continuously acquire production elements, improve brand awareness, optimize processing techniques and promote the convergence of three industries. Family farms benefited from a win-win result with actors through network embeddedness and entrepreneurial bricolage, and created economic, social and ecological values eventually. The study offers fresh insights into the dynamics of rural entrepreneurship.

“…This diversity underscores the necessity of examining the effects of indebtedness relationally across different domains of social life, especially the household. Agrarian scholars of gender have long drawn critical attention to social divisions of labour within families (Addison & Schnurr, 2016; Agarwal, 1983; Baglioni, 2021; Boserup, 1993; Calvário & Desmarais, 2023; Deere, 1995; Fredlund, 2020; Mincyte, 2023; Naidu & Ossome, 2016; O'Laughlin, 2002; Ossome & Naidu, 2021; Razavi, 2009). These gendered divisions of labour have also been analysed by feminist scholars of the Middle East, whose work remains marginalized within the canon of agrarian studies (Abdelali‐Martini et al, 2003; Kandiyoti, 1988; Pfeifer, 1987; Sarkis Fernández, 2015).…”

Based on 18 months of ethnographic fieldwork at the Lebanese‐Syrian border, this article analyses the gendered economy of debt among Syrian farmworkers in shawish camps, which have for decades supplied the largest and lowest paid seasonal labour force within Lebanon's food system. In turn, it traces how debt relations in these camps expanded as hundreds of thousands of Syrians sought long‐term refuge in Lebanon throughout the war in Syria (2011 to present). Revisiting classic and contemporary agrarian questions of debt from a feminist social reproduction perspective, the article charts how this debt system ultimately deepened the burdens of feminized work in the fields and in the home. Emblematic of debt's ‘reproductive binds’, these camps offer broader insights into how debt reconfigures gendered and generational divisions of labour within displaced agricultural families—and how these conditions are negotiated, contested and reproduced in daily life.
