Abstract: The phenomena of corporate social responsibility (CSR) had been widely discussed from different scientific and practical perspectives worldwide for almost a century. In its initial phase, the main focus was the demand for social responsibilities from businesses in general. Recently, all sectors and all spheres of human activity consider the importance and use of social responsibility, including agribusiness. This study aims to elucidate the importance of the principles of agribusiness social responsibility from a farmer’s point of view. The guiding question of the research is whether a farmer’s gender, next to the other background characteristics (age, generation, education, etc.), is among the factors that shape the way farmers understand the importance of the principles of agribusiness social responsibility. The 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 makes a promising background for further research.
