“…In the context of our analysis, few papers study this factor, and they use different proxies, i.e., farmer's perception of his/her role in the society [134,156,170], the influence of peers [115,159,170], and appreciation by neighbours [143]. These few papers find positive effects on the adoption of EFFPs in NE, SE, SA, and AS [115,134,143,156]. In OC [159], influence by peers negatively affects the willingness to adopt EFFPs only among those farmers whose behaviour is mainly driven by stewardship, lifestyle, and social motivations.…”

“…Conversely, in AF, a high total family income facilitates the adoption of EFFPs which negatively impact on the farm income, like soil conservation practices [12,83,96], or low-input farming systems [149]. Regardless of geographical context, most of the authors explain the positive effect of total family income by considering that income from off-farm activities reduces the risk from adopting EFFPs [13,113,134,150].…”

“…], older farmers act as followers-i.e., late adopters[85,89,95,116,117,120,[128][129][130][131][132][133][134]. In AF, contrasting results emerge, however: younger farmers seem more prone to implement soil and water conservation practices, particularly in recent years[3,4,[67][68][69]81,83,94].•Education level: Regardless of the geographic context, literature agrees on the evidence that farmers who are more educated-and therefore more informed about environmental threats linked to agricultural production-are more inclined to adopt EFFPs[11,67,68,72,75,79,81,85,93,94,100-102, 109,114-116,120,121,127,130,131,135-140].…”

Environmentally Friendly Farming Practices (EFFPs) are tools aimed at providing ecosystem services or mitigating the environmental impacts of intensive agriculture. A large literature has explored the factors affecting the adoption of EFFPs by farmers. However, opposite effects of several factors on uptake have often emerged. We carried out a qualitative meta-analysis of the literature seeking to identify some geographical and temporal trends that can provide a rationale to explain these opposite results. To reach this goal, we analysed the literature and classified the following factors affecting farmers’ behaviour according to the theory of reasoned action and planned behaviour: farm, farmer, informational, and social factors. Our perspective in exploring the existing literature shows that the geographical context and the temporal period under analysis, considered as different adopters’ cohorts, can explain most of the opposite effects. For example, while the different effects of farm structural factors show specific geographical patterns, those of the management and economic factors follow temporal trends. The impact of some farmers’ socio-demographical characteristics and some social factors can be explained in terms of both geographical context and time. The broad trends we found cast light on the importance of further research adopting the same methodological approach in different geographical contexts and under a temporal perspective.

“…It may be partly due to different economic development and social welfare levels as well as development interests resulting in the different views on the use of water, land and other natural resources [46,80]. Therefore, the economic valuation of restoring ES in the MRC area could be best estimated by the use of the two separate equations for Beijing and Hebei area rather than one pooled equation.…”

Abstract:As the only surface water source for Beijing, the Miyun Reservoir and its catchment (MRC) are a focus for concern about the degradation of ecosystem services (ES) unless appropriate payments for ecosystem services (PES) are in place. This study used the contingent valuation method (CVM) to estimate the costs of two new PES programs, for agriculture and forestry, and to further calculate the economic value of ES in the MRC from the perspective of local rural households' willingness to accept (WTA). The results of Logit model including WTA and the variables of household and village indicate that the local socio-economic context has complex effects on the WTA of rural households. In particular, the bid amount, location and proportion of off-farm employment would have significant positive effects on the local WTA. In contrast, the insignificance of the PES participation variable suggests that previous PES program experiences may negatively impact subsequent program participation. The mean WTA payments for agriculture and forestry PES programs were estimated as 8531 and 8187 yuan/ha/year, respectively. These results consistently explain the differentiated opportunity costs on both farmland and forestry land. Meanwhile, the differentiated WTA values in Beijing vs. the surrounding Hebei Province follow the interest differences and development gaps between jurisdictions. Finally, the total economic value of ES in the MRC area was estimated at 11.1 billion yuan/year). The rational economic value of ES for the restoration priority areas reaches 515.2 million yuan/year. For the existing budget gap (299 million yuan/year), the study proposed that decision makers increase the water tariff by 0.08 yuan to raise the funds needed. The study also concluded that these results are not only financially and politically feasible but also cost-effective. This study has policy implications for improving the implementation efficiency and providing quantified supports for PES programs in megacity source water area.
