Gender, power and succession in Family Farm business
International Journal of Gender and Entrepreneurship, 2014Co-Authors: Jane GloverAbstract:Purpose – The purpose of the paper is to present a case example of the power struggles and gender issues one daughter faced when she became a partner, and future successor, in the Family business. This paper uses an ethnographic approach in order to study a small Family Farm in England. The case focuses on a small Family Farm, these businesses are unique in terms of their values and expectations for succession (Haberman and Danes, 2007), and identified by Wang (2010) as a fruitful avenue for research on daughter succession. Design/methodology/approach – The empirical work was gathered through the use of a single site ethnographic case study involving participant observation as the researcher worked on the Family Farm and semi-structured interviews with Family members over two years. Findings – The results shed light on some of the social complexities of small Family Farms and power struggles within the Family exacerbated by perceived gender issues. The work also highlights the potential threat to the daug...

Decision making analysis of walnut seedling production on a small Family Farm in Serbia
African Journal of Biotechnology, 2011Co-Authors: B Kalanović–bulatović, Zoran Rajic, Bojan Dimitrijević, N Ralević, Zorica Vasiljevic, Milica GrbovićAbstract:The wide range of walnut application makes it one of the most appreciated fruit species. In 2008, Serbian government started providing subsidies for every planted walnut seedling. These incentives have already increased the interest in this type of seedlings on the market. One of the main objectives of each Farm is to maximize economic results. For a Family Farm, there are many alternatives on how to accomplish this objective. The decision making analysis has been done on the basis of the case study for the typical small Family Farm that produces walnut seedlings, located in the central part of Serbia. One of the options for the Farm is to proceed to use current technology, while the other possibility is to be reduced some of production operations. A third alternative is to give up the seedlings production and to put that money in the bank as savings. The decision has to be made between those three alternatives aiming at achievement of optimal/best economic result for the Family Farm. Summarizing results obtained from the decision tree, simulation and sensitivity analysis, the optimal solution for the Family Farm should be to continue production of walnut seedlings with technology it is currently using. Key words : Decision making analysis, Family Farm, seedling production, walnut, Serbia.

Economic aspects of walnut seedling production on a Family Farm
2010Co-Authors: Branka Kalanović Bulatović, Zoran Rajic, Bojan DimitrijevićAbstract:There are profitable conditions for walnut production in Serbia. However, there is a trade gap of this fruit Recently, a demand for walnut seedlings is in growth. The cause of this is new walnut orchards establishment, but large investments discourage producers. The subject of this paper is the economic analysis of walnut seedling production on a Family Farm, with the aim at observing the influence of production factor to the economic indexes. Solving problems and tasks set during the research required the use of appropriate methods, including: methods for determining costs, analytical calculations for plant production and methods for determining indicators of economic success of Family Farms. In addition to these methods was used and the method of comparative analysis. Data on Farm production for the years 2006 and 2007 have been used for this paper as well as the results of the former researches as the basis for a detail study of specific problems. On the basis of calculated and analyzed economic indexes, the Family Farm ran business successfully in both years and managed to have positive financial result, which confirms walnut production profitable, although it has been set on a small area of the Family Farm.

Family Farm product qualification and relationship of reciprocity draft
Re-inventing the rural between the social and the natural : XXIII ERS Congress Vaasa Finland 17-21 August 2009, 2009Co-Authors: Eric SabourinAbstract:This paper mobilizes the theory of reciprocity to analyze Family Farm product qualification process effects in Brazil. All qualification processes that guarantee the origin, the specificity, the quality process or the norms of a product, contribute to reduce the effects of competition and speculation peculiar to the capitalist exchange. My hypothesis is that a qualification process can contribute to establish a binary symmetrical relation of reciprocity between producer and buyer. They also can contribute to generate a sharing structure (of quality) among the group of producers. When the producer's name is at stake, reciprocity relationships generate values of trust, reputation, honor and responsibility. It is often these ethical values that guarantee the legitimacy and the authority of the certification process of quality and origin standards. In fact, it thus creates a territoriality of reciprocity around a specific product. However, apart from this group of qualified producers and also for the marketing of other products which are not be labeled by them, it is the rules of the capitalistic exchange market that apply. Qualification and certification could also induce exclusion. That is why, in the case of a centrifugal qualification process, one has resort to some kind of interface: that of the certification mechanism, which makes it possible to reintroduce reciprocity dimension (the domestic unit, the peasant community, the cooperative) into the capitalist exchange market system. The paper presents in the case of Brazil, various initiatives of setting up such co-certification, group certification, or even, the so-called participative certification systems, between producers or between producers and consumers.
