Adoption of climate mitigation measures on farm?

[evierogers]

Good morning all,


I am conducting research as part of my final year dissertation on farmer attitudes towards adopting climate mitigation measures on farm. I would be so grateful if you could fill out the questionnaire and share your thoughts.

Additionally, i wondered if we could have an open discussion on the forum. Do you think it is necessary for farmers to adopt this responsibility of being the 'climate champions' and the percieved solution to the climate crisis? Or maybe you don't think there is a climate crisis?

Are you under pressure from your milk buyer to provide environmental goods, or is it an active choice you make?

Whatever your thoughts are I would LOVE to hear them. As we get closer to the Net Zero targets,, it is interesting to hear what farmers think needs to be done in terms of support to help get there.

Well I had a go, but the questions are so staggeringly bland as to provide no insight whatsoever. I can’t work out what the purpose of the survey is, at all.

Sorry. I tried.

Hi Dave, thanks so much for taking the time to participate in my survey, I apologise that you didn't find it interesting.

For a bit of clarity, the questions are phrased to be un-leading, and the answers given will be utilised through a behavioural model. Each question has been formulated to see if a farmers behavioural intentions and attitudes, align with their actual actions towards climate mitigation.

When I did A level biology in the 70s our teacher wasn’t much older than his students.
He told us there was going to be some trouble in our lifetimes because the Amazon and other rain forests were the lung of the world and they were being cut down but not replanted. Was he wrong?

We need to work out whether farmers are the solution as we are the only ones who are sequestering carbon and the only ones with carbon credits to sell to polluters,
or whether we are responsible for destroying the planet, we can't be both.

He was so right. But when will the governments of the world realize that in order to save the world and feed it, mankind has to utilize whats already productive farmland to feed everyone instead of some countries rewilding while the farmers produce nothing and others cut down forests and jungles because there is a demand for wood and more farmland.

Might be best putting this in Dairy Farmer Forum. As it’s only applicable to Dairy ?
