Contract farming has been expected as one of the measures to facilitate participation of farmers in the production of agriculture commercially, adding more values to agricultural produces. Mixed evidence in Vietnam however, has been shown on the well-known ad-vantage of the contract farming to small farmers such as reduce the cost to access to market, accessing credit, obtaining information on market opportunities or new technologies, pur-chasing certain inputs and accessing product markets and reducing price fluctuations. The purpose of this study was to analyse the impact of contract farming to farmers and to deter-mine policies to facilitate farmer entry into beneficial contractual relationships. In addition to the literature review, one intensive case study of contract farming practices with commodity was conducted. The results from the study have direct relevance to work of agencies and organizations working to promote the welfare of small holding farmers, either through prac-tical field support or through policy advocacy.

This paper presents the ways by which households and individuals construct everyday livelihoods and negotiate forms of poverty in the rural areas in Slovakia. Based on the recent research the agricultural strategies adopted by households and individuals were examined. We attempt to embrace the ways how they link informal and formal economic activities, and how they are constituted differently within households in post-socialist environment. In the research we have used a multi-methods approach, and in this paper, the results from semi-structured interviews are presented. Our theoretical concept is based on a Burawoy’s theory of the four different categories of assets: material, skill, social and citizenship assets. In our question research we have focused at more details considering the use of land and gardens, as an important part of material assets. These are the sources of wider household production. They generate domestic products which can be in consequently an important part of everyday livelihood of household as well as a source of exchange and redistribution among networks of relatives and friends
