Production And Management Risk Management Of Family Farm From The Perspective Of Social Capital

Since the Central Document No.1 in 2013,family farms have become a key research object.Compared with the traditional way of farmers,family farms have a modest scale of operation,with family members as the main labor force,production and management of commercialization,intensive,large-scale characteristics.In recent years,the theoretical research and empirical research on family farms have been deepened.However,there are still some further advances in these studies.First,there are many studies on the benefits of family farms,and there is no shortage of risk.Second,the family farm contains rich organizational characteristics,the risk management approach is different from the traditional farmers,or agricultural enterprises.Thirdly,the research on the risk of farmers is mainly based on the economic model,the emphasis on the perfection of the agricultural insurance system and the lack of in-depth analysis of the behavior of the farmers at the level of experience.Fourth,the family farm has a certain impact on the basic structure of the rural community,and its long-term development of the social base embedded in the local community.The risk management of family farms is inseparable from the support of rural communities,and its degree of embedding can also have different degrees of impact on rural communities.The first part mainly analyzes the characteristics of family farmers in risk identification from the perspective of risk identification.The results show that the risk of production and operation of family farms is relatively large.Which market risk and business risk is its main risk.The second part mainly analyzes the structure of risk management.The main risk management measures of the family farm are risk aversion,risk transfer and risk response.Rather than the formal risk sharing as a means of risk transfer in the production and operation of family farms play an important role.The third part mainly analyzes the role of social networks in the informal sharing mechanism of family farms.It is concluded that the "strong relationship" network of family farms contributes to the risk sharing of family farms.The fourth part combines the risk management strategy of family farms and their relationship network,and summarizes the social capital of family farms as the "social network resources which play a role in risk sharing strategy".On the basis of this,this paper analyzes the embedding mechanism of family farms from three aspects:trust establishment,frequent communication and effective unity.It is concluded that village resources and transactional resources of family farms have become important social capital and have shifted the risk of their production and operation.
