The aim of the paper is the analysis of the “consumption” of rural development policies (Rdp) as the result of entrepreneurial behaviours adopted by family farms. The underlying hypothesis is that family farm’s characteristics influence the consumption of rural development policies. By putting forward a family farm perspective, we support the idea that any boundary between productive and reproductive work in the farm household is artificial and condition farm strategy and aptitude to invest. Therefore, a relevant aspect to be examined concerns family size, localization in life cycle, and the presence of assistants within the family farms. The results of our analysis permit to emphasize the importance of family context in the access to Rdp and the relevance of the family assistants on farm’s propensity to get funded.

Abstract
The aim of the paper is the analysis of the “consumption” of rural development policies (Rdp) as the result of entrepreneurial behaviours adopted by family farms. The underlying hypothesis is that family farm’s characteristics influence the consumption of rural development policies. By putting forward a family farm perspective, we support the idea that any boundary between productive and reproductive work in the farm household is artificial and condition farm strategy and aptitude to invest. Therefore, a relevant aspect to be examined concerns family size, localization in life cycle, and the presence of assistants within the family farms. The results of our analysis permit to emphasize the importance of family context in the access to Rdp and the relevance of the family assistants on farm’s propensity to get funded.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
