Title:
Drivers of practice change in land management in Australian agriculture
Publication Date:
19/12/2012
Description:
This report has been prepared for Sustainable Resource management division, Department of Agriculture, Canberra. This report presents the outcomes of a national survey of farm managers, undertaken in 2010-11 as a supplementary survey to the ABARES farm survey, which assessed key influences on the uptake of sustainable land management practices. The survey was designed to provide further detail on key influences determined through the first stage of the project which involved workshops with practice change experts, farmers and extension providers. Survey results showed that motivations for the uptake of land management practices included a mix of financial, environmental and personal motivations. Availability of support was frequently a secondary consideration to other motivations, supporting decision making theories that suggest support is an enabler of change, related to increasing capacity once the decision to adopt has been made. The survey also determined levels of awareness of and participation in natural resource management programs, group membership and the types of activities from which farmers obtain land management practice information
