Understanding Farmer Perspectives on Climate Change Adaptation and Mitigation
The statistical models used in this study adapt the multivariate capabilities of structural equation models (SEMs) to handle variables with discrete ordered response categories. These models link the observed (categorical) response y i,j for item j by subject i to an unobserved continuous variable y * i,j through an ordinal probit model. An example for a five-category item would be: 1 if agree)...
متن کاملFarmer risk assessment for voluntary insecticide reduction
We develop a theoretical basis for voluntary reduction in insecticide use, and quantify the subjective value farmers place on reducing environmental risk. The indirect utility model is used to quantify the acceptable financial cost of eliminating one insecticide application in return for avoidance of moderate risk to the environment. The mean valuation in Illinois, Iowa, Nebraska and Ohio, USA,...
متن کاملRegulating farmer nutrient management: a three-state case study on the delmarva peninsula.
Growing concern about water quality issues, along with a series of fish kills in 1997, prompted Maryland, Delaware, and Virginia to adopt regulations to reduce nutrient pollution from agricultural nonpoint sources. All three states required farmers to follow a state-certified nutrient management plan that would "optimize crop yields and minimize environmental losses," although the policy-making...
متن کاملEmpowering Farmer Leaders to Acquire and Practice Site-Specific Nutrient Management Technology
Precision agriculture, using high-tech equipment and information science software, is not appropriate for the farmers of small parcels of land in the tropics. Our hypothesis, however, is that the concepts of precision agriculture and participatory action research have a similar philosophical basis and complement each other. We have adopted an approach of both empowering farmers and simplifying ...
متن کاملA BMP Database for Nutrient Reduction
A database was developed from published research for assessing the impact of BMP implementation on nutrient load and concentration. The objectives of this study were to develop a database of common fields of information from published research that could be used to assess nutrient measurements directly related to BMP implementation and, where available, measures of cost-effectiveness. This stud...
