  • New farmers in the south of Italy: capturing the complexity of contemporary strategies and networks
    Journal of Rural Studies, 2021
    Co-Authors: Tara Dourian
    Abstract:

    Though obscured by agricultural modernization efforts in the 1950s, peasant and peasant-like farm realities persist. Since the 1990s, Italy, like the rest of Europe, witnessed a wave of re-peasantization—a conceptual framework introduced by Rural Sociologist Jan Douwe van der Ploeg to mark the emergence of a mode of agriculture that is distinctively more peasant-like. Using a qualitative, field-based two-case design, this study explored this phenomenon in two new entrant farms in Campania and Sicily, in Italy. Each farm's practices and pursued objectives, as well as its social networks were analyzed. Findings revealed that the two farms adopt strategies grounded in the material and immaterial resources of their territories, thus minimizing their dependence on external inputs and expertise. Built social networks support the diversification of their activities, of their market circuits and of their knowledge sources. This study contributes to the documentation of new peasant realities in Italy, while highlighting the importance of contextual specificities for understanding new farming models and farmer identities.

  • SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURE OUTREACH IN A MARGINALIZED FARMING VILLAGE IN SOUTHERN CHILE: OBSERVATIONS FROM A Rural Sociologist
    The Journal of Agricultural Extension, 2017
    Co-Authors: Matthew J. Mariola
    Abstract:

    I briefly describe the creation of a demonstration garden and several workshops given on ecological gardening techniques in a small, marginalized agrarian community in southern Chile, as part of a larger Rural sociological research project. Community response to the garden and workshops suggested a paradox: villagers were eager for lessons on ecological gardening and composting, despite being agriculturalists for many generations. I offer three observations from the point of view of a Rural Sociologist that speak to this paradox. I close with a commentary on the political and structural roots of the community’s impoverishment and the implications for extension agents working with marginalized agricultural communities worldwide.
