Scholars with an interest in agricultural social change have a long history of studying farmer decision-making. While much of the early research was focused on identifying the individual characteristics of progressive farmers, research has evolved into examinations of the many factors that may influence different types of farm decision-making, including the use of so-called Best Management Practices. We utilize an approach for analyzing farmer de…
Intellectual Property, Scientific Independence, and the Efficacy and Environmental Impacts of Genetically Engineered Crops
Neoliberalism is the political ideology behind efforts to commercialize university science. The development of genetically engineered (GE) crops has facilitated the commercialization process because GE crops generally have more restrictive intellectual property protections than conventional crops. Those restrictions have led some to question whether long-term university research and innovations are being compromised to protect short-term intellec…
Motivations for Voluntary Environmental Management
This article examines the motivations for firms to participate in voluntary environmental programs and to adopt environmental management practices using data gathered from a survey conducted in 2005 of facilities located in Oregon operating in six industrial sectors. It is one of the first studies of voluntary environmental management to include small‐, medium‐, and large‐sized facilities as well as to include both privately and publicly owned fa…
