This study aims explore farmers’ mechanisms process areas, by constructing a theoretical framework. Structural equation modeling was used, based on data from survey families Liaoning Province area Northeastern main findings are as follows: (1) seven types exogenous latent variables, including environmental vulnerability, policy, five livelihood assets (natural capital, physical financial human social capital), intermediary behavior, which then positively affect outcomes. (2) Among variables affecting transfer, have most significant positive effect, followed assets, family labor force share, frequency work information exchange, number tools, greatly corresponding variable. (3) Natural play role negative effect decision; contracted per greatest impacted measurable variable this. results suggest that government should strengthen skills training improve policy system, provide appropriate subsidies regionally targeted manner. Thus, it can transformation Chinese-style modernization achieve revitalization.

The unique features of high-quality agri-food production are rooted in the specificities ecosystems, interpreted through an anthropocentric lens. In Italy, such products nationally certified with labels that enhance both their market value and territorial identity. However, climate change amplifies risks as land degradation reduced arability, threatening systems tied to places, products. As a result, relationship between environmental conditions quality is becoming more fragile across Italian peninsula. This paper investigates how producers consumers perceive posed by ecosystem characteristics Terroir, focusing on Calabria—a southern region marked socio-environmental vulnerability limited number fragility may further hinder production, serious implications for local agribusiness sector. Using qualitative methodology, study draws questionnaires administered farmers, alongside interviews key stakeholders exploratory fieldworks. Eventually, this research aims identify major impacting Calabria, examine adaptation strategies adopted producers, assess perceived effectiveness institutional support.
