Article Abstract:

The mobility strategies of Swedish farm households are examined, focusing on the impact of pluriactivity, diversification, and intensification. Pluriactive farms do not have full-time family labor; diversification refers to diversified strategies of production; and intensification refers to an increase in production, and can take the form of increasing specialization or land area.
