Abstract

Knowledge is known to be a pre-condition for an individuals behavior. For the most efficient informational strategies for education, it is essential that we identify the types of knowledge that promote behavior effectively and investigate their structure. The purpose of this paper is therefore to examine the factors that affect Kenyan farmers, environmental citizenship behavior (ECB) in the context of Adaptation and mitigation (Climate smart agriculture). To achieve this objective, a theoretical framework has been developed based on value belief norm (VBN) theory. Design/methodology/approach, Data were obtained from 350 farmers using a survey method. Partial lease square structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) was used to examine the hypothetical model. The results of PLS analysis confirm the direct and mediating effect of the causal sequences of the variables in the VBN model. The moderating role of Environmental knowledge has been seen to be impactful in Climate Smart Agriculture.

农户应对气候变化的环境公民行为:环境知识和责任的调节作用

众所周知，知识是个体行为的先决条件。为了获得最有效的教育信息策略，我们必须确定有效促进行为的知识类型并调查其结构。因此，本文的目的是研究在适应和减缓(气候智能型农业)背景下影响肯尼亚农民、环境公民行为(ECB)的因素。为了实现这一目标，基于价值信念规范(VBN)理论建立了一个理论框架。设计/方法/方法:采用问卷调查法，从350名农民中获得数据。采用部分租赁平方结构方程模型(PLS-SEM)对假设模型进行检验。PLS分析的结果证实了VBN模型中变量因果序列的直接和中介作用。环境知识的调节作用已被视为对气候智能型农业有影响。
