Abstract

The number of farm households participating in the off-farm labour market has been increasing over the last decade and this additional income has become integral to the sustainability of farm households. The objective of this paper is to assess the availability of off-farm employment and examine policies needed to increase the employability of farm operators seeking off-farm employment.
