Factors influencing the conversion to organic farming in Norway (2008, background): “The non-economic aspects and environmental concerns in organic producers’ farming goals and attitudes were also identified in previous comparative studies of organic and conventional farmers (e.g. Burton et al., 1999; Darnhofer et al., 2005; Fairweather and Campbell, 2003; McCann et al., 1997; Padel”
Evidence that organic farming promotes pest control (2018, background): “Analysing the balance between ecosystem services and disservices for organic agriculture, and specifically between biological pest control and pest infestation, is thus needed to inform agricultural policies, land use management and farmer decision-making 6,23 .”
Creating culturally sustainable agri-environmental schemes (2011, background): “producers hold different attitudes and values than conventional farmers (Fairweather, 1999; Darnhofer et al., 2005).”
The implementation of organic principles and values in the European Regulation for organic food (2009, result): “Whilst it is concluded that organic operators cannot be perceived as one homogenous group with identical beliefs, several publications refer to a shared understanding of 'organic' among certain groups of participants (Alrøe et al., 2008, Darnhofer et al., 2005, Meeusen et al., 2003).”
Conversion to organic farming: a multidimensional research object at the crossroads of agricultural and social sciences. A review (2011, background): “…organic farmers and committed organic farmers can be distinguished – where the same kind of opposition between market and values can be found again – the first ones being able to go back to conventional farming if price premiums were to diminish (Fairweather, 1999; Darnhofer et al., 2005).”
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).”
