Abstract

Abstract Relying on an interview-based research carried out in Szeklerland (Eastern Transylvania) between 2011 and 2020, the present study investigates the impact of the new rural development paradigm on the first level indicated by Van der Ploeg et al. (2000): changes in the relationship between agriculture and local society. The analysed region does not form an administrative unit, it is the eastern region of the former Austro-Hungarian monarchy. It consists of rural settlements and small towns, the population of which is mostly of Hungarian ethnicity. More than half of the households have a small amount of land and are engaged in farming as their main or supplementary activity. Following a brief overview of the regional context, our paper analyzes the essential changes that have been taking place in the relationship between agriculture and the regional society over the last one or two decades. The focus of the analysis is how changes in the relationship between agriculture and the regional society appear in the innovative agricultural entrepreneurs’ practice and interpretations.

创新农业企业家视角下的农业角色变迁。东特兰西瓦尼亚的舍克勒兰案

摘要基于2011年至2020年在Szeklerland（东特兰西瓦尼亚）进行的一项基于访谈的研究，本研究调查了Van der Ploeg等人（2000）指出的新农村发展范式对第一层次的影响：农业与地方社会关系的变化。被分析的地区不构成一个行政单位，它是前奥匈帝国的东部地区。它由农村定居点和小城镇组成，其中人口大多为匈牙利裔。超过一半的家庭拥有少量土地，从事农业作为他们的主要或补充活动。在简要概述了区域背景后，我们的论文分析了过去一二十年来农业与区域社会之间关系发生的根本变化。分析的重点是农业与区域社会关系的变化如何出现在创新型农业企业家的实践和解读中。
