The main aim of this paper is to analyse the evolution, patterns and models of revenue diversification in Italian agriculture in different contexts and for different typologies of farms. The analysis is based on the calculation of the inverse of Herfin-dahl index, by using different variables available in the Italian FADN database (years 2008, 2013 and 2018), followed by a multiple regression model to analyse the relation-ship between the diversification index and other variables, in order to highlight both the internal and external factors affecting on-farm diversification processes. The arti-cle shows that Italian farms have increasingly adopted non-agricultural revenue diver-sification strategies to reduce risk and maximize factors’ productivity. Among these, agritourism is by far the most relevant; however, in the last few years the production of renewable energy has been growing relatively rapidly. Overall, the study shows that on-farm diversification activities can be either an opportunity for a new entrepreneur-ship in agriculture or a survival strategy for small and marginal farms that are not suf-ficiently integrated in the national agri-food system
