Research focusing on farmer decision making is extensive within New Zealand and spans economics, sociological, psychological, agricultural, and resource management disciplines. Thus, there are different approaches on how best to understand how farmers make decisions, what economic, political, or social influences affect their decisions, and how this is related to, or based on their beliefs, values, or identities. Different approaches have resulted in multiple qualitative methods being employed. Some researchers have focused on understanding farmers’ beliefs or identities as a way of predicting or understanding behaviour change. Others have chosen to create segmentation frameworks which predict farmers’ participation or adoption of ‘best practice’ given their age or other criteria.
This project will focus on research and literature discussing farmers’ decision making when reducing, or thinking of reducing, their on-farm biological greenhouse gas emissions or environmental good practice generally.
