  • An Ethnographic Analysis Among Small Farmers in NW Italy
    Article Modes and Forms of Knowledge of Farming Entrepreneurship: An Ethnographic Analysis among Small Farmers in NW Italy Michele Filippo Fontefrancesco 1,2 1 University of Gastronomic Sciences, 12042 Bra, Italy; [email protected] 2 Department of Anthropology, Durham University, Durham DH1 3LE, UK Abstract: This article investigates the modes and forms of knowledge underpinning farming en- trepreneurship through an ethnographic case study of Alessandria province in NW Italy. It shows that farming entrepreneurs base their decisions on explicit and implicit knowledge encompassing forms of knowledge linked to the environment where they live, their trade, the characteristics of their firms, issues concerning their family and private life, and even the emotions linked with their surroundings. All these forms of knowledge inform their vision of their future and guide them in their choices in terms of investments and crop selection. Accordingly, the article argues that farming entrepreneurship is embedded in the locale. Keywords: rural development; entrepreneurship; economic anthropology; ethnography; Italy 1.

In this paper, we propose a DL framework for Point Cloud segmentation, which employs an improved DGCNN (Dynamic Graph Convolutional Neural Network) by adding meaningful features such as normal and colour. The approach has been applied to a newly collected DCH Dataset which is publicy available: ArCH (Architectural Cultural Heritage) Dataset.
