Abstract
This work analyzes farm diversification
activities in an Italian region (Marche). The study
examines 387 farms from Farm Accountancy Data
Network (FADN) over a six-year period (2000-2005),
applying Discrete Choice Models to identify their
business. Recognizing the driving forces of such
diversification strategy can be useful to better design
those agricultural policies explicitly aimed at promoting
agricultural multifunctionality as well as social and
environmental sustainability. The linkage between
diversification choices and CAP payments is thus also
investigated.
