This open access book applies for the first time emerging concepts of socioeconomics to analyse an economic sector, namely agriculture. It considers the rational choices of all actors in the system (just as agricultural economists do) and their cultural preferences and constraints (just as rural sociologists do). Socioeconomic concepts are subsequently used to structure agricultural issues with regard to the three governance mechanisms (hierarchy, markets, and cooperation), and different agricultural systems are presented and compared. The book will be of interest to social scientists with various backgrounds, and seeks to break down the barriers of single-disciplinary thinking.

This book looks at agriculture and the environment, placed within the dynamic context of post-communist societal change and entry into the European Union (EU). Scrieciu explores developments in eleven Central and Eastern European (CEE) countries and argues for agriculture’s natural place in these societies. The history of these countries is significant in how it has shaped the institutions and influenced the outcomes. In many cases, during communism, agriculture was not considered a strategically. An ecological consciousness did not figure high on the agendas of authoritarian regimes. After 1990, some post-communist farm economies progressed slower than others, and environmental pressures mostly diminished with agricultural restructuring. In parts of CEE, increases in numbers of low-input small farms have resulted in some, though largely unintended, ecological benefits. A dual environmental challenge has nevertheless surfaced. On one hand, environmentally unsustainable practices have been attributed to some low-input farming. On the other hand, risks of farm over-intensification and resource overexploitation are on the rise. Also, environmental regulatory and institutional frameworks are not always effectively in place. EU membership is not creating the anticipated benefits for farm growth. There are a number of systemic structural barriers preventing many farmers from drawing on Common Agricultural Policy incentives and support. The presence of many vulnerable poor farms is clearly problematic, particularly economically. However, small-scale farms could be made more acceptable and profitable by ensuring EU policies acknowledge their value and by building institutions to support alternative farm growth strategies, aside from the traditional European model of individual corporate farm expansion. The voluntary uptake of grassroots rural cooperation and farm associations may represent such an alternative. Future European farm policy reforms need to reach the small and vulnerable, and better tackle issues of farm equity, poverty, and agricultural sustainability in the new Europe. This is a timely contribution as this type of "transition" has just begun. This book should be of use to students and researchers looking at agricultural and environmental economics, post-communist rural societal change, European integration and the Common Agricultural Policy.

This book explores how the recent restructuring of farming and industry has affected economic and social equality in the United States. The author explains how the farm sector has undergone a dramatic restructuring with profound effects. Moderate-size family farms, the mainstay of American agriculture, have declined during the postwar period and are now under severe financial stress. Large-scale industrialized farms -- "the factories in the field," often run by corporations -- continue to expand their share of agricultural sales while small farms operated on a part-time basis appear to be replacing traditional family farming. Lobao shows that public concern about farm restructuring is indeed warranted and that the nation now appears to be losing its most beneficial farms as well as industries. While local and regional social and economic forces and state policy can be brought to bear on these trends, Lobao particulary focuses on how community empowerment and broad-based political coalitions offer the most promise for fundamental change.

After nearly a decade of prosperity, rural America entered the 1980s with its agricultural base facing a severe financial crisis. Land values, export markets and the general demand for agricultural commodities were declining while the levels of indebtedness reached during the 1970s were becoming increasingly difficult to manage. By the middle of the 1980s, the existence of a crisis was apparent in farm failure rates that had reached levels that had not occurred since the 1930s and in the fact that large numbers of agricultural banks were failing and agencies that provide loans to farmers and ranchers were experiencing unprecedented losses. Small towns in agriculturally dependent rural areas were losing businesses, populations and related services, and extremely high rates of socioemotional problems were noted among rural residents in agriculturally dependent areas of the nation.

The factors affecting climate are changing all over the world. This phenomenon has multidimensional impacts on human livelihoods. Different groups of people are affected in different ways. Among all sectors, agriculture is highly dependent on climate variables. As a consequence, the socioeconomic profiles of farm as well as farmers are changing with the changing climate. In the existing literature there is a large gap about the relationship between climate change and the socioeconomic characteristics of livelihoods. This study is an attempt to find out a conclusive result about the relationship between the agents of climate change and the agents of agricultural sustainability, the effects of climate change on agriculture and socioeconomic status of the farmers, and their patterns of adaptation. This study is mostly focused on paddy sector in the context of Malaysia. It is conducted under the research project “The economics of climate change: Economic dimensions of climate change, impacts and adaptation practices in agriculture sector: Case of paddy sector in Malaysia” of the Institute for Environment and Development (LESTARI) of National University of Malaysia (UKM). This book is divided into seven chapters. Initial chapter provides a background of the study and methodology that consists of data, variables, model and tools for analysis. Chapter two provides a review of related literature about the scenario of climate change; its vulnerability and impacts on agricultural sustainability as well as socioeconomic sustainability of farmers; and the adaptation of climate change in terms of farming practices and socioeconomic practices. Chapter three describes the socioeconomic profile of paddy farming households including the particulars related to social status and economic status of farmers, and firm level activities, assets and production practices. Chapter four assesses the vulnerability of climate change in terms of vulnerability of climate factors, vulnerability of agriculture and paddy farming, and vulnerability of socioeconomic status of the farmers. Chapter five finds out the impacts of climate change on agriculture, especially paddy farming, as well as socioeconomic status of farmers. Chapter six provides the approach and process of adaptation in terms of farmers’ understanding about climate change, farmers’ approaches towards adaptation, current supports from external parties for adaptation, and required supports for adaptation. Finally, chapter seven discusses summary and provides policy options and recommendations in term of government policy, farm level strategy, and relevant stakeholders’ involvement to proper cope with climate change and its adverse impacts. We hope that the book provides the linkage to facilitate better understanding of the socioeconomic perspectives of climate change. We also believe that the book will stimulate further research in the subject and the information provided will assist other researchers in their future research endeavors. Last but not least, the findings and outputs of this book will stimulate the knowledge input for effective policies in addressing the issue of climate change and its adaptation approaches.
