Technical efficiency and conversion to organic farming: the case of France (2014, background): “Lohr and Salomonsson (2000) find for example that, for a sample of Swedish farmers in 1990, the number of organic farms in a farmer’s district increases his/her probability to convert.”
Incentives and policies for integrated pest management in Europe: a review (2014, unknown): “Persistent barriers to the adoption of new farming practices include, amongst other factors, limited availability of and access to production and market information (Atanu et al. 1994; Lohr and Salomonsson 2000; Dimara and Skuras 2003).”
Efficacy and economics of shelter habitats for conservation biological control (2008, background): “In addition, increased public funding of CBC research could redress technology lock-in problems and engage in knowledge exchange and extension activities to improve commercial understanding of CBC and increase farmers’ confidence (Cowen and Gunby, 1996; Lohr and Salomonsson, 2000).”
Economic Factors Affecting Diversified Farming Systems (2013, background): “…pests commonly controlled by synthetic pesticides, in the case of organics or pesticide-free varieties, can make these varieties more expensive than conventional varieties, and make consumer demand (and therefore farmer revenues) unpredictable (Lohr and Salomonsson 2000, Regmi and Gehlhar 2005).”
Differential uncertainties and risk attitudes between conventional and organic producers: the case of Spanish arable crop farmers (2008, background): “of adoption have fundamentally changed over time, with economic factors gaining more relevance ( Lohr and Salomonsson 2000 ).”
Organic farmers or conventional farmers: Where's the money? (2012, methodology): “Considering the importance of marketing outlets for organic products in the existing literature (Acs et al., 2007a,b; Khaledi et al., 2010; Lohr and Salomonsson, 2000), we included dummy variables for using marketing contracts, production contracts, and several direct marketing strategies.”
Converting or not converting to organic farming in Austria:Farmer types and their rationale (2005, background): “Indeed, reports in the literature (Burton et al., 1999; Lohr and Salomonsson, 2000; Pietola and Lansink, 2001), as well as the decision model presented here, show that for most farmers perceived economic viability may be a necessary condition for conversion, but it is not a sufficient one.”
