Collectively, these five countries account for 82 per cent of semi-subsistence farms in the European Union (EU) (Eurostat, 2007). The selected countries present a variety of regional contexts, followed different pathways of rur al transformation and agricultural transition, and possess different degrees of rurality and dependence on farming. The study employs a mixed quantitative and qualitative methodology. The analysis presented utilises cross-regional survey data along with follow-up qualitative interviews with a sub-sample of households in 2010 and 2014. The quantitative analysis tests the significance of factors assumed to determine market integration. As a complement, the qualitative analysis helps, first, to dee pen our understanding of the dynamic effects of these determinants, and second, to produce additional insights which may be difficult to quantify. -
