Why is it important?
The results clarify factors that lead to enlarged identity, including formation of both a wider perspective and more extensive human networks from social learning opportunities, and female initiative within the activity.
Perspectives
The issue of identity formation should be properly positioned in the field of innovation-oriented capability building of farm management.
