在共同农业政策改革和"地平线2020"战略中，农场多样化向多功能活动发展被视为核心，因为它加强了农村地区的领土和社会凝聚力。虽然从"宏观"角度看，农户多样化与农村经济之间的关系在多功能进程和通过农业活动提供公益物方面至关重要，但从"微观"角度看，农场内的多样化活动可在农场收入中占一定比例。农业经济学和农村社会学已经建立了一些模型，旨在解释农场多样化的决定因素，从而提供了一套可能影响农场多样化的变量。本文应用计数模型来解释农场多元化活动的数量，在托斯卡纳农场实施。由于大量的农业控股，不适用于任何多元化活动，我们提出了一个两步模型，其中，首先是模拟采用多元化战略作为二元变量，其次，模型分析的决定因素之间的农场，已决定多样化的多样化强度实施。结果证实，靠近主要旅游区和城市市场的位置是农场多样化强度的重要决定因素。结果突出了支柱2农业政策在确定农场多样化活动的扩散和影响采用强度方面的积极贡献，而每公顷高的单一农场付款对多样化强度有负面影响。
On-farm diversification towards multifunctional activities is perceived as central in the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) reform and in the Horizon 2020 strategies, because it strengthens territorial and social cohesion of rural areas. While from a “macro” point of view relations between farm-household diversification and rural economies are central in the process of multi-functionality and in the provision of public goods through agricultural activities, from a “micro” point of view on-farm diversification activities can represent a relevant share of farm income. Agricultural Economics and Rural Sociology have developed models aiming to explain the determinants of on-farm diversification thus providing a set of variables potentially influencing on-farm diversification. The paper applies a count model to explain the number of on-farm diversification activities that are implemented by farms in Tuscany. Since the high number of agricultural holdings that do not apply any diversification activity, we propose a two-step model where, firstly a simulation of adoption of diversified strategy as binary variable is considered and secondly, a model analysing the determinants of diversification intensity among the farms that have decided to diversify is implemented. Results confirm that location near main touristic areas and vicinity to urban markets are important determinants of on-farm diversification intensity. Results highlight a positive contribution of the Pillar 2 agricultural policies both in determining the diffusion of on-farm diversification activities and in influencing the intensity of adoption, while high per hectare Single Farm Payments have a negative influence on diversification intensity.
