Data were collected using online surveys from May to June 2020 (n = 137) and from May to June 2021 (n = 219). The surveys assessed symptoms of anxiety and identified strategies and barriers to addressing mental health concerns. Most respondents exhibited clinical symptoms of anxiety as measured by the GAD-7 scale. Respondents mostly accessed informal supports, such as family and friends, in the first survey in 2020, and a broader mix of informal and formal supports in the 2021 survey. In both surveys, numerous barriers to accessing formal mental health support were identified. Our findings suggest that although some degree of resilience in the face of the pandemic was prevalent in rural areas, there is a need for accessible professional and peer mental health support for frontline healthcare workers. The research also highlights the importance of context and resources in sustaining the healthcare workforce in rural areas as part of the pandemic response.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":17002,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Rural Studies","volume":"111 ","pages":"Article 103410"},"PeriodicalIF":5.1,"publicationDate":"2024-09-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0743016724002146/pdfft?md5=1a72d0c5ea91180950a3bbf08a11129f&pid=1-s2.0-S0743016724002146-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142241743","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The innovations of PLF systems are over and above applications aimed at achieving on-farm goals (<em>e.g.</em> improving efficiency and monitoring farm animals), which are well recognised in the existing literature. This paper specifies the new dimensions of PLF systems, including data-sharing with retailers in the chain, with certifiers/control organisations, with other farmers and with market innovators, as well as data governance. Because farmers approach PLF applications that extend beyond on-farm use with reluctance, it is crucial to take farmer preferences into account when designing multi-actor PLF-system innovations. Proceeding from a mixed-method design, this study begins with a literature review and expert interviews, followed by an examination of farmer preferences regarding the architectural-design attributes of a PLF-system innovation. The latter takes the form of a conjoint study based on data obtained from 367 pig and dairy farmers in Finland, the Netherlands and Spain. Results indicate that farmers attach the greatest importance to the governing structure that manages their data, followed by the opportunity to use an on-farm early-warning system to monitor farm animals, and the possibility of sharing the collected data with value-chain actors mainly for purposes of optimising business innovation and certification. A cluster analysis further highlights the importance of finding customised solutions, considering the heterogenous preferences of farmers for PLF-system innovations beyond European borders. These preferences should be considered in the design of multi-actor PLF-system innovations.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":17002,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Rural Studies","volume":"111 ","pages":"Article 103397"},"PeriodicalIF":5.1,"publicationDate":"2024-09-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0743016724002018/pdfft?md5=a8dd46b584d24ed31b57739abec810db&pid=1-s2.0-S0743016724002018-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142161603","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In addition, IFEs can improve choice, have a positive impact upon diet as well as generate household income and employment. While studies have primarily focused upon the role of IFEs in developing economies, their importance within more developed rural markets warrants further attention. This paper draws upon key learnings from the existing literature and examines how IFEs operate within a developed, rural economy. Framed within a social economy framework, it examines the role and function of IFEs across the Western Isles of Scotland. Despite being part of an advanced market economy, food access and security in this region has previously been identified as problematic for particular consumer groups and communities. The research identifies that due to the continued expansion of the formal retail sector and the growth of on-line delivery, food access has become less of an issue for many island residents. This is not to suggest that IFEs are inconsequential. Apart from their role in strengthening social and community linkages, for certain segments of the island population they continue to play a key role in providing food access. The research also identified an increasing reliance upon a small number of national retail chains. This suggests, that in future, food security in remote and rural communities could become increasingly vulnerable to market externalities.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":17002,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Rural Studies","volume":"111 ","pages":"Article 103392"},"PeriodicalIF":5.1,"publicationDate":"2024-09-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0743016724001967/pdfft?md5=bd044d338dc190ca5960e2163c21923d&pid=1-s2.0-S0743016724001967-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142161717","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We conducted a literature review of wellbeing assessment approaches within peer-reviewed literature and interviews with stakeholders to identify a wellbeing assessment approach for the agricultural sector. Key factors to incorporate into a farmer-focused assessment approach are: i) cultural health, which is especially important when measuring wellbeing amongst indigenous and recent immigrant farmers and workers; ii) farming-specific questions, using a combination of pre-existing and newly developed questions; and iii) ease of use, using a combination of short pulse and longer surveys depending on the survey context and aims. This paper contributes to the debate of how to measure wellbeing, which is useful for programme designers and developers. Furthermore, it provides a coherent review on wellbeing assessment approaches, which can be used to steer future research in this area.

Primary data collected through qualitative interviews at mining sites explains the mechanisms behind the econometric results. The findings provide the first causal evidence on employment effects of a boom-and-bust cycle of artisanal mining. A boom seems to shift employment from agriculture to more productive sectors and a bust decreases the likelihood for individuals to work. The opening of industrial gold mines seems to decrease employment in more productive sectors and increase employment in agriculture, while industrial iron ore mines have no effect.
