Farmers' adoption of ecological practices: A systematic literature map
系统梳理了关于农民采纳生态耕作实践的定量观察研究，分析了各类变量（如社会人口、农场结构、行为因素）被纳入的频率及其显著性，并评估了研究质量，为农业经济学家和政策制定者提供参考。
Abstract Understanding the factors associated with adoption of ecological farming practices is a well‐established topic of interest to agricultural economists. As the transition to more sustainable agriculture has become a policy priority for the European Union, broad and balanced reviews of this literature are important. We develop a systematic map of quantitative observational studies which describes the ecological practice(s) adopted, the frequency of inclusion and significance of a range of independent variables, and how the dependent variable is measured. We also conduct a quality assessment. We find that while socio‐demographic variables and farm structural variables are frequently included, they were insignificant more often than they were significant. For behavioural factors we find stronger evidence for the importance of cognitive or attitudinal variables compared to dispositional attitudinal variables. We also find a growing interest in social factors which will be valuable for researchers to explore further and reflect on the policy implications of our findings.
