Using data from the 2020 China Rural Revitalization Survey (CRRS), it investigates how farmers' e-commerce participation influences relational network to enhance happiness. Results indicate that the impact of this participation on farmers' happiness follows a significant “U”-shaped relationship. Specifically, happiness increases significantly only after the level of e-commerce participation crosses a tipping point. This relationship remains robust after endogeneity treatment and stability tests. Mechanism analysis reveals that this participation helps expand social network, strengthen social connection, and enhance social identity, thereby boosting happiness. Further analysis of “Who gets more happiness from e-commerce participation” and “How to get more happiness by e-commerce participating” shows that farmers in western and northeastern regions experience more significant happiness gains, while those selling a single type of agricultural product see more pronounced improvements. By shifting their mindset, forming support networks, and building strong brands, farmers can achieve greater happiness.

As mature rural digital economic entities, Taobao villages constitute a critical focus for systematic research. Exploring their spatial differentiation characteristics and driving mechanisms is crucial for mitigating the disorder of living spaces in digital rural areas. This study focuses on Taobao villages in Shandong Province and employs a comparative analysis of Taobao and non-Taobao villages (villages excluding Taobao villages). It aims to summarize the spatiotemporal differentiation patterns of settlements, reveal the driving forces behind their spatial expansion and contraction, and propose spatial planning strategies for Taobao village settlements. The findings indicate the following: (1) During the \"hatching-growth stage\", the settlements of Taobao villages undergo continuous agglomeration and contraction, followed by slow expansion in the \"growth-maturity stage\". (2) While the digital economy has fostered Taobao villages, the expansion and contraction of their settlements are shaped by multiple factors. Socio-economic and digital economic factors are the primary drivers of Taobao village settlement expansion, whereas agricultural, socio-economic, and physical geographical factors dominate their contraction. (3) Both the contraction and expansion of Taobao village settlements demonstrate a polarized driving mechanism. For example, Taobao village settlements are more likely to contract in areas with low agricultural output and poor transportation accessibility, as well as in regions with high agricultural output and developed economies. (4) Significant differences exist in the spatial differentiation characteristics and driving mechanisms of settlements between Taobao villages and non-Taobao villages. Differentiated construction land control strategies should be adopted based on the different development stages of Taobao villages to facilitate their agglomerated development. This study provided a comparative analysis of the spatiotemporal differentiation characteristics and driving mechanisms of Taobao and non-Taobao villages, offering scientific support for the spatial management of Taobao village settlements.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":17002,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Rural Studies","volume":"123 ","pages":"Article 104030"},"PeriodicalIF":5.7,"publicationDate":"2026-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146036366","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, they face significant challenges threatening their sustainability. This paper examines these challenges in France, Greece, Italy, Spain, and Türkiye using a qualitative approach that integrates insights from Solution Hub discussions and interviews with cooperative leaders, experts, and policymakers. It identifies common challenges—governance inefficiencies, financial instability, climate change impacts, and generational renewal—alongside country-specific obstacles shaped by distinct socio-economic, environmental, and political contexts. Governance inefficiencies, including slow decision-making and underrepresentation of women and youth, are pervasive but manifest differently across countries. Financial instability, driven by market volatility and limited credit access, is particularly acute in Greece and Türkiye. Climate change poses serious threats, with France focusing on decarbonization and agro-ecological transitions, while Greece and Türkiye grapple with water scarcity and extreme weather. Demographic shifts, including rural depopulation and an aging workforce, exacerbate these challenges, especially in Italy and Spain. This study contributes to the literature by providing a comparative analysis of Mediterranean agricultural cooperatives, addressing a gap in research that often focuses on single-country studies. It underscores the need for context-specific strategies, recognizing that while some challenges are shared, their intensity and manifestations vary. The findings highlight the crucial role of cooperatives in addressing climate change and rural depopulation—areas often overlooked in the literature. Practical implications include targeted interventions, capacity-building, and supportive legal frameworks to enhance cooperative resilience. By fostering innovation, inclusivity, and regional collaboration, stakeholders can strengthen these essential institutions.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":17002,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Rural Studies","volume":"123 ","pages":"Article 104004"},"PeriodicalIF":5.7,"publicationDate":"2026-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146036368","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Data were collected through four qualitative focus group interviews conducted in 2022 and 2024, and the analysis was guided by the theoretical concepts of symbolic and social boundaries. We found that animal welfare was primarily framed within the logic of food production and economic viability and that farmers positioned themselves as producers of a common good, such as food security and rural sustainability. Strong support was expressed for animal welfare regulations, particularly when they aligned with the farmers' professional identity. Boundaries were drawn between those considered knowledgeable—such as veterinarians and fellow farmers—and those perceived as lacking practical experience—including urban consumers and activists. Although societal concerns were acknowledged, external criticism was often dismissed as uninformed.

This study addresses this gap by systematically measuring, spatially mapping, and analytically explaining multidimensional poverty among the rural left-behind elderly population in China over the period from 2011 to 2020. Utilising nationally representative data from five survey waves (2011–2020) of the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (N = 20,527), this study constructed multidimensional poverty indices based on the Alkire-Foster methodology.

The results reveal that (1) between 2011 and 2020, multidimensional poverty among the rural left-behind elderly experienced a pronounced decline, primarily driven by substantial reductions in material deprivation. However, reduced intergenerational support linked to adult children's migration contributed to increased non-material deprivation, particularly across dimensions related to life care and social participation. (2) From a spatial perspective, poverty patterns shifted from highly concentrated clusters to increasingly dispersed distributions, with only a limited number of provinces in the central-southern and north-eastern regions exhibiting pronounced poverty by 2020.

Descriptive statistics indicate that males travel farther and have a higher share of car use, whereas females record more walk/bike. We further examine the intersection of gender with education, employment, family structure (child status), and household vehicle ownership. A two-part Gamma model and a multinomial logit model are employed to analyze average travel distance and daily travel mode, respectively. Outcome-scale predictions show that females are significantly less likely than comparable males to make trips. The trip-making gender gap is smaller in the high-school-or-above group than in the elementary-or-below group. It is also smaller in the off-farm than in the on-farm group. For travel distance, females travel less than males in both conditional mean distance and per-capita daily distance, but the conditional-mean gap is not statistically significant in some subgroups, such as those without children or without car ownership. Mode-choice estimates reveal a consistent within-group pattern: within groups sharing the same attributes, females are significantly more likely to choose walk/bike than their male counterparts, while males are more likely to choose cars.

However, the mechanisms remain unclear amid large-scale urban-rural integration, especially with rapid artificial intelligence (AI) advancement. Leveraging panel data from China spanning 2010-2023, a coupled coordination model is employed to evaluate regional coupled coordination development (CCD) between food security index (FSI) and agricultural carbon emission efficiency (ACEE). The relationship between urban-rural integration (URI) and CCD, along with AI's moderating effect, is analyzed using two-way fixed effect, moderated effect, difference grouping, and threshold regression models, thereby establishing an \"AI-URI-FSI-ACEE\" analytical framework. Coordinated development paths are identified via dynamic qualitative comparative analysis, examining technology, agricultural conditions, social environment, and policies. Research findings: URI significantly promotes CCD with long-term effects. further amplifies this effect, particularly in regions characterized by major production areas, low economic development levels, and robust policy support. As AI progresses, urban-rural spatial, economic, and social integration further enhances CCD, while ecological integration exhibits a transition from hindering to facilitating CCD. Under scenarios prioritizing FSI, the promotional effect of URI significantly intensifies, with greater priority yielding stronger promotion effects, while AI exerts a pronounced positive moderating influence. Under scenarios prioritizing ACEE, the promotional effect exhibits a diminishing trend until it becomes insignificant. Although AI shows no significant main effect, it continues to play a crucial moderating role by empowering the URI process. Four typical paths emerged: market-driven AI efficiency enhancement pathways, insurance-backed stable production and efficiency improvement pathways, domestic circulation-oriented ecological intensification pathways, and policy-coordinated comprehensive safeguarding pathways.
