Why farmers adopt best management practice in the United States: a meta-analysis of the adoption literature. (2012, background): “The significance of tenure is consistent with theories that different ownership types may still be pertinent for specific BMPs. Soule et al. (2000) present an in-depth discussion of the effects of ownership type on the adoption of large investment BMPs, as well as BMPs with short-, medium-, and long”
Adoption of agricultural conservation practices in the United States: Evidence from 35 years of quantitative literature (2019, background): “Land tenure is considered an important construct (Soule et al. 2000); when farm operators own the land they manage, studies have observed an increase in the level of adoption of a number of practices including nutrient management (Bosch et al. 1995; Khanna 2001), pest management (Caswell et al.…”
Adoption of water conservation practices: A socioeconomic analysis of small-scale farmers in Central Chile (2012, unknown): “The decision to adopt technologies and techniques is also influenced by a farmer’s socioeconomic status, cultural background (Soule et al., 2000; Lapar and Pandey, 1999), and access to natural resources (Byrne et al.”
Determinants of agricultural best management practice adoption: Evidence from the literature (2008, background): “However, farmers with Highly Erodible Lands are more likely to adopt as these lands need conservation to be productive (see, e.g., Soule et al. 2000).”
Trends in U.S. Farmland Values and Ownership (2012, result): “This is consistent with research that found that tenants were less likely than owner-operators to adopt conservation practices that provide benefi ts over the longer term (Soule et al., 2000).”
Testing for Complementarity: Glyphosate Tolerant Soybeans and Conservation Tillage (2015, unknown): “As noted above, the 1985 farm bill requires a producer that grows crops on highly erodible 19 land to meet certain minimum conservation requirements (Stubbs 2012).”
Profiles of US farm households adopting conservation-compatible practices (2007, methodology): “Soule et al. (2000) used this latent utility approach to determine the relationship between land tenure and adoption of conservation practices.”
Efficiency of Payments for Environmental Services: Equity and additionality in a case study from a Biosphere Reserve in Chiapas, Mexico (2011, background): “This seemingly higher environmental awareness could be linked to their fight for the land and their guarantees of continuity in it (Soule et al., 2000), along with thehigher numberof training courses theyhave received.”
Leverage Points for Governing Agricultural Soils: A Review of Empirical Studies of European Farmers’ Decision-Making (2018, background): “Institutional economics suggests that property rights are a very important determinant of resource management [127]; therefore, it is often assumed that tenure status is an important factor influencing decision-making behaviour of farmers [22,128].”
Green Subsidies in Agriculture: Estimating the Adoption Costs of Conservation Tillage from Observed Behavior (Revised) (2006, background): “We assume that the producer has adopted conservation tillage if conservation tillage use is reported for the corresponding NRI point.”
