A holistic assessment of farmers' intention to adopt agroecological practices – The case of Swiss grassland
Agroecology provides a holistic approach to sustainable agriculture. Although the concept is gaining increasing interest, there is a lack of knowledge regarding farmers' intentions to adopt agroecological practices, and existing studies do not account for its holistic approach. We analyze farmers' intentions to adopt agroecological practices across four key elements of agroecology: diversity, synergy, efficiency, and recycling. We assess a wide r…
Public trust in crop and livestock farmers in Switzerland
A lack of public trust in farmers can impede having a food production system that is functional and socially acceptable. It can also lead to stricter and unfounded regulations on farming practices limiting the farmers and even impacting the viability and sustainability of farms. Therefore, we examine public image of farmers and the agriculture sector through a survey with 481 participants from the German-speaking part of Switzerland. More specifi…
Lost in the field
Vast quantities of food are lost along the food value chain. Although much is known about losses at the consumer level, relatively little is known about the producer level. Using a qualitative approach, this study examines farmers’ views on vegetable losses in potatoes, carrots, onions, tomatoes and lettuce. We conducted semi-structured interviews with 15 farmers in Switzerland to find out 1) during which operations losses occur, 2) what quantiti…
Agroecological and technological practices in European arable farming
Agroecological and technological innovations are two important approaches in the transition towards agricultural sustainability. We lack knowledge about how current agricultural contexts may influence future development pathways and the relative importance of the two approaches. This study explores the alignment between past uptake of agroecological and technological practices and future visions of agricultural development in seven European arabl…
Consumer support of policy measures to increase sustainability in food consumption
Improving the understanding of farmers’ non-compliance with agricultural policy regulations
To reduce the negative impacts of agricultural production, Switzerland and the EU introduced environmental and animal welfare regulations in their direct payment policy schemes. Compliance with these regulations is monitored, and fines are imposed if deficiencies in implementation are identified. Non-compliance with these regulations reduces the effectiveness of direct payment measures and creates public and private administrative transaction cos…
Citizens’ perceptions of agricultural policy goals—evidence from Switzerland
Agricultural policy goals should be legitimised by the population, as agriculture is an important recipient of governmental support in Europe. Questions arise as to how people assess these policy goals, which factors affect the perception of agricultural policy goals and to what extent cultural differences influence this assessment. We address these questions by conducting an online survey among 1,542 respondents in the German-, French- and Itali…
Determinants of the decision to build up excessive food stocks in the Covid-19 crisis
In 2020, the first COVID-19 lockdowns resulted in food panic buying and excessive food stockpiling across many countries around the world. Many governments recommend keeping emergency food stocks for three to ten days for times of potential shortages in food supply. Based on data from an online survey conducted among Swiss inhabitants, we investigated the effect of knowledge level and stockpiling behaviour according to governmental stockpiling re…
Adoption and perception of farm management information systems by future Swiss farm managers – An online study
The use of digital technologies in agriculture offers various benefits, such as site-specific application, better monitoring, and physical relief. The handling of these technologies requires a specific skill set. Therefore, the question arises of when and how farm managers learn about digital technologies. Aiming to analyse the current situation, the present research investigated the role that digital technologies play in vocational training for …
Cross-cultural validation of the short version of the Food Disgust Scale in ten countries
The cross-cultural testing of scales represents an important step in the scale validation process. The present study evaluated whether the eight-item short version of the recently developed Food Disgust Scale (FDS-short) is a reliable and valid tool for measuring food disgust sensitivity in ten countries: Australia, China, England, France, Germany, Mexico, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, and the USA. In an online survey, the participants (N = 6128) …
Development and validation of the Food Disgust Picture Scale
The present set of studies developed and tested the Food Disgust Picture Scale (FDPS). This is a tool for the assessment of food disgust sensitivity that will measure disgust and predict possible reactions. This eight-picture tool can be used in complement to or as a replacement for currently available text-based measures. In an exploratory Study 1 (N = 57), we constructed a scale consisting of eight pictures. Most of them were taken from validat…
