Abstract

The adoption of new practices by farmers is one of the key strategies to lower greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from food production. In this context, effective knowledge transfer systems are essential to inform farmers about climate change, and to convince them of the benefits of new technologies. In this article, farmers’ opinions about climate change, their own efforts to mitigate climate change, and their suggestions on how to improve agricultural advice were assessed. To this end, a survey with over 500 livestock farmers was conducted in Ireland. The findings reveal a high awareness of the urgency to address climate change in general, but many farmers also think agricultural GHG emissions are an overstated problem. In addition, half of the surveyed farmers believe that implementing GHG mitigation measures will lower their profits. These findings underline the need to provide effective knowledge transfer to facilitate the uptake of GHG mitigation measures. When asking farmers directly, by way of text analysis, it emerges that simple messages, group and practical advice that is tailored to individual farming situations is important to farmers. As such, this article provides important insights that are of relevance for designing advisory campaigns to promote climate change mitigation.

关于气候变化缓解的信息:农民怎么想?气候变化缓解信息:农民怎么看?信息zum Klimaschutz:Denken die Landwirtinnen und Landwirte?
农民采用新做法是降低粮食生产温室气体排放的关键战略之一。在这种情况下,有效的知识转让系统对于让农民了解气候变化并让他们相信新技术的好处至关重要。在这篇文章中,评估了农民对气候变化的看法,他们自己为缓解气候变化所做的努力,以及他们对如何改进农业建议的建议。为此,在爱尔兰对500多名畜牧养殖户进行了一项调查。研究结果表明,人们普遍高度认识到应对气候变化的紧迫性,但许多农民也认为农业温室气体排放是一个被夸大的问题。此外,一半的受访农民认为,实施温室气体减排措施会降低他们的利润。这些发现强调了提供有效知识转让以促进温室气体缓解措施的必要性。当通过文本分析直接询问农民时,发现针对个人农业情况的简单信息、小组和实用建议对农民来说很重要。因此,本文提供了重要的见解,对设计促进气候变化缓解的咨询活动具有相关性。

期刊介绍: EuroChoices is a full colour, peer reviewed, outreach journal of topical European agri-food and rural resource issues, published three times a year in April, August and December. Its main aim is to bring current research and policy deliberations on agri-food and rural resource issues to a wide readership, both technical & non-technical. The need for this is clear - there are great changes afoot in the European and global agri-food industries and rural areas, which are of enormous impact and concern to society. The issues which underlie present deliberations in the policy and private sectors are complex and, until now, normally expressed in impenetrable technical language.
