BF 149/15: Small-scale farming and cooperation between regional sustainability and globalisation

This project subjected the multi-layered aspects of small-scale agriculture in the 21st century to a comprehensive analysis both in the Austrian and in the concrete regional context and places them in the context of the international development of small-scale agriculture.

The following central questions were at the centre of the analysis:

    What are small-scale farms?
    What do small-scale farms stand for?
    What value is placed on small-scale agriculture?
    How can small-scale farming structures be supported and promoted?

The following project work was done:

    Preparation of the concrete survey plans for the 4 survey regions.
    Preparation of a modular, semi-structured questionnaire for conducting the surveys among the different target groups:
        Farm managers of small farms inside and outside cooperatives
        Managers of cooperatives inside and outside the survey regions
        Regional stakeholders
    Conducting the survey work in the 4 survey regions
    Conducting expert interviews in the areas of cooperatives, district chambers of farmers
    Evaluation of the survey results
    Preparation of regional context analyses in the 4 survey regions
    Updating parts of the quantitative data analyses
    Carrying out the remaining expert interviews
    Synthesis of all project parts (theory, data analyses, interviews) to a summarising analysis
    Development of recommendations and strategic approaches
    Writing the research report
