Exploring Farmers' Conditions, Strategies and Sustainability Performance with the CSP Model

Abstract

A common challenge in agri-economic analyses and in the related conceptual and analytical frameworks is to deal with the complexity and multidimensionality of contemporary challenges and policy frameworks in adequate ways. Our paper presents a theoretical and methodological approach aimed at informing policy development in the agri-food industry. A particular focus is on addressing market imperfections. The model focusses on Conditions, farmers’ Strategies and sustainability Performances (CSP).
