Career aspirations and entry paths into rabbit farming

Aspirations professionnelles et trajectoire d'installation en élevage cunicole

Résumé

This study aimed to understand why rabbit farmers enter the profession and the career aspirations of current and potential farmers. In 2023, we interviewed 21 current or potential rabbit farmers in France (each for ca. 3 hours, with or without farm visits) whose farms represented a variety of systems. We also observed 12 potential farmers during a training session for project leaders of organic rabbit-farming systems. We performed thematic analysis of full transcripts of interviews using Nvivo software. Data analysis identified three main paths for establishing a rabbit farm: i) taking over rabbit farming within the family, ii) creating a new farm or iii) a career change. Detailed understanding of the mechanisms and paths of entry into the rabbit-farming profession, as well as the justifications given by farmers, enabled us to identify 14 career aspirations, which were integrated into a serious game (Insta'Lap) designed to help design rabbit-farming systems.
