Abstract

 

Corporate social responsibility (CSR) had been widely discussed in different scientific and practical discourses worldwide for more than half of a century. In its initial phase issuing the demand for social responsibilities from businessmen in general, at the beginning of the twenty-first century the number of evidence increases of how some trend of CSR had already drifted across the gender issues and agricultural discourse. This study aims to find out, whether gender matters in farmer’s understanding of the principles of agribusiness social responsibility. Research results, based on representative survey data of Lithuanian farmers (N=1108), propose that gender might be considered among the factors that shape farmers understanding of the principles of agribusiness social responsibility and this compose the promising background for further research.
