• Modelling the adoption of organic horticultural technology in the UK using Duration Analysis (2003, background): “These changes have led to the surge in the area of land under organic management and the values of organic sales referred to in Section 1 (see Rigby et al. 2001 for more on these changes).”
• Factors influencing the conversion to organic farming in Norway (2008, result): “Our results support previous studies of the changing profile of producers converting to organic farming (e.g. Flaten et al., 2006; Padel, 2001; Rigby et al., 2001).”
• Deconstructing the ‘young farmer problem in Europe’: Towards a research agenda (2015, background): “(2015) also found that new entrants were more interested in environmental and social aspects of their holdings, a finding consistent with the literature indicating that a disproportionate number of organic farmers are new entrants (Rigby et al., 2001; Padel, 2001; Lobley et al., 2009).”
• Converting or not converting to organic farming in Austria:Farmer types and their rationale (2005, background): “The decision tree thus supports evidence that many of the farmers who have converted since the late 1990s may have been driven more by financial motives rather than by non-economic considerations (Jansen, 2000; Padel, 2001; Rigby et al., 2001).”
• Technical efficiency and conversion to organic farming: the case of France (2014, background): “If conversion to OF has historically been based on ideological motives and other non-economic factors, a shift to financial motivation has been observed since the late 1990s when payments for OF started to be introduced (Rigby et al. 2001; Darnhofer et al. 2005; McCarthy et al. 2007).”
• The motives, benefits, and problems of conversion to organic production (2010, background): “Ideological, philosophical, and religious beliefs can also motivate conversion (Conacher and Conacher 1982; Willer and Gillmor 1992; Hong 1994; Rigby et al. 2001 ), alongside concerns over profitability and market demand (Svensson 1991; Hong 1994; Howlett et al. 2002), food quality and safety (Sven”
• Differential uncertainties and risk attitudes between conventional and organic producers: the case of Spanish arable crop farmers (2008, background): “…have also been a number of statistical approaches to address the issu of adoption of new technologies that can be classified into three main groups (Rigby et al., 2001): bivariate analyses measuring adoption at a certain point in time (Burton et al., 1999; Lohr and Salomonsson, 2000), diffusion…”
