This conceptual paper aims to expand the notion of “farming newcomers” in Europe by also including those that we label “involuntary newcomers”, who correspond to the workforce coming unwillingly to farming for reasons associated with spatial (im)mobilities. We fully develop our aim in four steps. Firstly, we present an integrative literature review which describes how the interplay between the key concepts of the sustainable farming framework (i.e., sustained development, networked rural development, and spatial (im)mobilities) tailor the newcomers’ arrival to the farming sector. Secondly, we define involuntary newcomers, describe their profiles and list the barriers to their engagement with sustainable farming. Thirdly, we advance some implications and limitations of our work for mobility research agendas. Fourthly, we conclude with an overview of the main inputs provided by our paper. We contribute to the literature by showing that: (a) newcomers must be defined beyond land ownership; (b) involuntary newcomers are very diverse, due to trends in spatial (im)mobilities; and (c) there is a high risk of the sustainable farming framework failing to meet its ambitions if it continues to ignore involuntary newcomers (and the barriers they encounter) in sustainable forms of agriculture.

如何通过农业劳动力振兴促进农村可持续发展?调查非自愿新移民的空间(非)流动性

这篇概念性论文旨在扩展欧洲“农业新移民”的概念,将那些我们标记为“非自愿新移民”的人也包括在内,他们对应于由于空间(不动)流动性相关的原因而不愿从事农业的劳动力。我们分四个步骤充分发展我们的目标。首先,我们提出了综合文献综述,描述了可持续农业框架的关键概念(即持续发展、网络化农村发展和空间(非)流动性)之间的相互作用如何使新来者适应农业部门的到来。其次,我们定义了非自愿的新移民,描述了他们的概况并列出了他们参与可持续农业的障碍。第三,我们提出了我们对流动性研究议程工作的一些影响和局限性。第四,我们最后概述了我们论文提供的主要投入。我们通过展示以下内容为文献做出贡献: (a) 新移民的定义必须超出土地所有权;(b) 由于空间(不动)流动的趋势,非自愿的新移民非常多样化;(c) 如果可持续农业框架继续无视可持续农业形式中的非自愿新移民(以及他们遇到的障碍),则它极有可能无法实现其雄心壮志。
