| Résumé : | Small farms play a crucial role in shaping the agricultural landscapes and economies of many nations, serving as both cultural staples and significant contributors to food security and rural livelihoods. This study applies K-Means clustering to examine the dynamics of small agricultural holdings across European regions, using key indicators such as the number of holdings, utilized agricultural area (UA & Acy;), economic output (Euro), and agricultural labor input (AWU). The analysis identified four distinct clusters that reveal the diverse roles small farms play in national agricultures. The findings illustrate the multifaceted roles small farms perform-from sustaining rural economies and preserving traditions to confronting productivity challenges and resource constraints. The study underscores the necessity for region-specific policies that enhance the sustainability and competitiveness of small farms. By framing the role of small farms within their national contexts, this research provides a strategic foundation for strengthening their contributions to agricultural sustainability and resilience. |
