abstract: 'Many Swiss farming families face socioeconomic disadvantage despite
Switzerland being a wealthy country with instruments of agricultural
policy financially supporting almost all farmers. However, official
poverty statistics exclude Swiss farmers and scientific knowledge is
rare about how such situations are experienced. This article scrutinises
the situation of Swiss farming families living in poverty or material
deprivation by intertwining qualitative and quantitative methods to
enrich both types of data and interpretations. By statistically
comparing farmers with the self-employed in other economic sectors, it
uses a novel way of comparing the farming with the non-farming
population. The article shows that the poverty among farmers resembles
that of the self-employed with no or few employees in other economic
sectors and describes the lived experiences of poverty and material
deprivation. It concludes that adaptive preferences make farming
families resilient to socioeconomic disadvantage, while possibly leading
to a loss of their livelihood in the long run.'
