Report on productive and behavioural profiles of smallholder farmers (and their segments) linked to socioeconomic and demographic factors (D3.4)

This report presents the work of multiple partners across the FoodLAND project who have prepared research papers, at a cross country and country specific level, to in-vestigate the productive and behavioural profiles of smallholder farmers and link these profiles to their propensity to adopt different types of innovations, which will be pro-posed in the framework of the project. We start by reminding the objectives of the research dedicated within the FoodLAND project and introducing the working group created for the purpose of data analysis. Part 1 of the report then presents the papers that have based their research at a cross country comparison level. Secondly, part-ners’ research written on a country specific basis, is presented in Part 2. Finally, we present the key conclusions and policy implications based on all the papers and their findings regarding the behaviour, economic conditions and characteristics of our sam-pled farmers. We recommend polices that can overall aid farmers and support the uptake of innovations. The appendices include Food Hub specific tables with the char-acterisation of groups of farmers with similar features and their propensity to adopt innovations.
