本文探讨了意大利新一代具有创新精神的年轻农民的出现，他们在经营农场（通常非常小）方面取得了成功，同时违反了现代化脚本的基本原则。我们认为，这些农民作为企业家的成功是由于他们的创造力，创新和合作能力（通常与农业领域以外的代理人），以及他们对新的社会需求和对农业和食品的期望的反应。这些农民往往拥有非农业学位，他们的突出之处在于，他们拒绝加入农村人口外流的行列，而是希望通过创建和发展以土地为基础的农村企业，在农村生活中留下自己的印记。这样做需要坚韧、智慧和对自己能力的信念。他们是“新农民”先锋队的一部分，因为他们的商业模式在许多方面符合世界各地农民的战略。
This article examines the emergence of a new generation of innovative young farmers in Italy who are making a success of running farms (often very small) while contravening the basic tenets of the modernization script. We argue that the success of these farmers as entrepreneurs is due to their creativity, innovation, and ability to collaborate (often with agents from outside the agricultural sphere), together with their responsiveness to new societal demands and expectations regarding agriculture and food. These farmers, often with non-agrarian degrees, stand out in that they refuse to join the rural exodus, but instead want to make their mark on rural life by creating and developing land-based rural enterprises. Doing so requires tenacity, stubbornness and a belief in their own capacities and abilities. They form part of the vanguard of the ‘new peasantry’ because in many ways their business models conform to the strategies of peasants all over the world.
