The current mushroom¬ing of web platforms for the tourism sharing eco¬nomy affords rural microentrepreneurs opportu¬nities to capitalize on the growing demand for authentic experiences. However, these platforms may actually be widening the socio-economic gap between individuals across the digital and urban/ rural divides. In addition, the well-established urban culture of entrepreneurial mentorship is not taking hold in the rural areas, which direly need to attract and support nascent entrepreneurs. Farms are increasingly adopting tourism to diversify their business models, and Extension agents are trusted mentors par excellence of agribusiness entrepreneurs; therefore, this study explores the extent to which Extension agents feel able to address the mentoring needs of farm tourism microentrepre-neurs. We measured both tourism e-microentrepre¬neurial self-efficacy (TeMSE) among farmers and tourism e-microentrepreneurial mentoring self-efficacy (TeMMSE) of Extension agents. Results show that farmers have relatively low self-efficacy in the dimensions of e-marketing and marshalling resources, and that agents may be efficacious men¬tors in these dimensions. Farmers also show low self-efficacy in adapting to externalities; however, agents do not perceive themselves as efficacious mentors in this dimension. We conclude with a discussion of practical implications for train-the-trainer strategies to enable farm tourism micro¬entrepreneurship success.}, number={1}, journal={JOURNAL OF AGRICULTURE FOOD SYSTEMS AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT}, publisher={Lyson Center for Civic Agriculture and Food Systems}, author={Ferreira, Bruno and Morais, Duarte B. and Szabo, Adriana and Bowen, Becky and Jakes, Susan}, year={2020}, pages={83–99} } @article{bradley_baldwin_jakes_jayaratne_neill_driscoll_beth_2010, title={Integrated extension programs in community gardening}, volume={881}, DOI={10.17660/actahortic.2010.881.4}, abstractNote={North Carolina Cooperative Extension adopted an integrated approach to addressing complex issues through community gardening. Extension specialists and county agents in horticulture, community development, family consumer science and 4-H youth development worked together to develop program materials, training and evaluation tools. A series of workshops were conducted around the state for Extension Master Gardener Volunteers, county Extension agents, community gardeners, and public and non profit agency staff. In addition integration beyond Extension included public health and community-based partners. A statewide website and listserve were created to distribute supporting information and promote communication.}, journal={Acta Horticulturae}, author={Bradley, Lucy and Baldwin, K. and Jakes, S. and Jayaratne, K.

A review of the literature presents a historical account of the development of the model and provides a basis for the rationale behind its use. Four empirical articles then provide a method for measuring the application of an ecological framework in program design and implementation, and evaluations of programs using components of the model. We conclude that ecological programming, while popular in rhetoric, is complex in both its design and implementation. Ecological approaches show merit over one-sided solutions, but need further investigation to show when these are the most efficacious approach and when only limited adherence is optimal.}, number={2}, journal={Journal of Prevention & Intervention in the Community}, author={Jakes, S.

Social program descriptions are rated using a previously tested technique and on the EPS. Using principle components factor analysis, the EPS components load on three factors: the community control of the program, the systemic change focus of the program, and the degree to which the program is multidimensional. In comparing the two techniques' prediction of experts' ratings of the degree to which a program is ecological, the single EPS variable measuring program component integration was the strongest predictor. This measurement device may be used to assist researchers in determining the predictors and outcomes of ecological programming, as well as to provide a more precise framework for developing ecological interventions.}, number={2}, journal={Journal of Prevention & Intervention in the Community}, author={Jakes, S.
