(2012, background): “…normative, value-based and symbolic influences on farmers‟ behaviour in relation to agrienvironmental and wider conservation practices (Burton, 2004a; Burton et al., 2008; Burton and Paragahawewa, 2011; Emery, 2010; Gravsholt-Busck, 2002; Setten, 2004; Siebert et al., 2006; Silvasti, 2003).”

Leverage Points for Governing Agricultural Soils: A Review of Empirical Studies of European Farmers’ Decision-Making (2018, background): “Symbolic capital is a notion developed in the context of Pierre Bourdieu’s sociological theory of capital(s) and has been much discussed in the context of farming [29,37,38]; here, we use this term in a broader sense, encompassing any considerations by farmers that are related to how they are percei”
Private Landowner Conservation Behavior Following Participation in Voluntary Incentive Programs: Recommendations to Facilitate Behavioral Persistence (2018, background): “In the European Union, cultural changes, such as proenvironment attitude shifts, are also an implicit goal of voluntary agrienvironmental programs (Burton et al. 2008).”
What drives farmers’ participation in EU agri-environmental schemes?: Results from a qualitative meta-analysis (2015, background): “Current evidence, however, seems to suggest that the voluntary nature of AESs may not necessarily be effective in inducing permanent changes to farmers’ attitudes and behaviour with respect to sustainable environmental management (Burton et al., 2008; Burton and Paragahawewa, 2011).”
The Uplands after neoliberalism? - The role of the small farm in rural sustainability (2011, background): “The abandonment of common grazing also threatens the communal practices and their social benefits (Burton et al., 2008; Brown, 2007).”
Farmer participation in agri-environmental schemes : regionalisation and the role of bridging social capital (2017, positive): “That is, in line with other Bourdieusian analyses f farmer participation in AES (Burton et al., 2008; Burton and aragahawewa, 2011), we observed that farmers’ socio-cultural reference for landscape symbols of high agricultural productivity including ‘tidy’ land) inhibited farmers’ propensity to…”
Motivations for implementation of ecological compensation areas on Swiss lowland farms (2014, background): “Although information in itself has been shown to be a poor motivator of behaviour (Burton et al., 2008), adequate information for the farmer to make an informed choice is a pre-requisite for each of these strategy directions.”
Toward effective nature conservation on farmland: making farmers matter (2013, background): “To date a substantial body of research on farmer behavior and behavior with regards to conservation in particular has been developed (e.g., Schmitzberger et al. 2005; Burton et al. 2008; Ahnström 2009; Goslinga & Williams 2010; Lokhorst et al. 2010, 2011).”
Creating culturally sustainable agri-environmental schemes (2011, background): “Rather, as Burton et al. (2008) point out of regulation 2078/92/EEC, the main purpose of Europe’s voluntary agri-environmental approaches was initially to reduce negative externalities on the environment and, latterly, to increasingly to promote positive externalities ewhile at the same time…”
