Farmers' Attitudes and Behavior toward Sustainable Agriculture.
Petrzelka, Peggy; Korsching, Peter F.; Malia, James E.
Journal of Environmental Education, v28 n1 p38-44 Fall 1996
A mail survey of Iowa farmers with membership in Practical Farmers of Iowa (PFI), a sustainable agriculture organization, was used to examine the attitude-behavior relationship of these farmers and the role social influences played in this relationship. Results indicate that when controlling explanatory factors, the attitude-behavior relationship is moderate and social influences do not facilitate this relationship. (Author/AIM)
