“…By employment status, 74.9 percent women were involved in farm work with no salary; 5.1 percent were housewives; 5.4 percent involved in off farm jobs, 4.3 percent unemployed and 0.3 percent were farm managers receiving salary from the farm work. Similar situations were shown in the research by Bryant (1999), oldrup (1999), Silvasti (2003), where women on family farms were farmers, entrepreneurs, farmers spouses, pluriactive in various ways and employed off-farm.…”

“…Further, as cultural capital can be passed through generations, the measure should consider not only the cultural capital of the incumbent generation, but also the combined capital of previous generations. Researchers have noted that family history influences the commitment that farmers have to the farm and, in particular, to continuing the work begun by previous generations (Bryant, 1999;Villa, 1999;Johnsen, 2003). Although this is often seen as a moral issue (a sense of obligation), in cultural capital terms the accumulated reputation of the farm in a particular enterprise may also provide an incentive for maintaining a form of production.…”

a b s t r a c tEvidence is emerging from across Europe that contemporary agri-environmental schemes are having only limited, if any, influence on farmers' long-term attitudes towards the environment. In this theoretical paper we argue that these approaches are not 'culturally sustainable', i.e. the actions are not becoming embedded within farming cultures as part of conventional 'good farming' practice. We propose (following Bourdieu) that, in order to culturally embed the environmental values, beliefs and knowledges that underlie such schemes, policy-makers need to devise approaches that allow the creation of cultural and social capital within farming communities e rather than simply compensating for economic capital lost. We outline the theoretical basis of our position and discuss how the contemporary agri-environmental approach of paying for specified environmental management services restricts the ability of such schemes to generate cultural and, thereby, social capital. Finally, we outline two possible ways of accounting for cultural capital in scheme creation: either through the development of measures of cultural capital that enable its incorporation into contemporary economic models or through a major revision to the way we construct and apply agri-environmental schemes.

“…One important study in this respect is reported in Bryant's (1999) article from South Australia. Creating a typology of farm identities, she shows that 'traditionality' is an important determinant of identity for some farmers, but that a significant number of farmers has identities which she conceptualizes as 'detraditional'.…”

a b s t r a c tThis article deals with how diversification and transformation of farming into tourism may influence the social identity of farmers. Based on a study of 19 farms run by couples engaged with agritourism, it shows how the development of tourism on the farms can be understood in a perspective of repeasantization; and how the couples draw on their farm resources, culture and place to sustain the farm. As hosts offering local food, stories, and various activities, they mediate a strong farm identity. The article also explores how farm identities change through three processes by which the 'new' work of tourism destabilizes identities. One is a shift in the meaning of farmer identity. Another is the gradual change towards a new master identity, and thirdly there is a multiplicity of identities that shift as they relate to various social memberships and settings.
