“…Of the many options available for climate change mitigation in agriculture, farmers in the Northwest are most interested in carbon sequestration in the soil, conservation tillage, and precision fertilizer applications. 86 In contrast, Ma and Coppock 87 found that even though 70% of Utah ranchers surveyed reported little to no knowledge about carbon sequestration, 63% had negative views about it. Those ranchers who reported being the most educated about carbon sequestration most likely opposed it.…”

“…Those ranchers who reported being the most educated about carbon sequestration most likely opposed it. Ranchers reported that climate change mitigation was the least important benefit of carbon sequestration, citing stewardship as the most important benefit . In addition, 71% of those ranchers would be interested in carbon sequestration if more information was provided, suggesting that carbon sequestration could potentially still be successful if the outreach was framed correctly and more research‐based information or tools were provided.…”

Climate change poses unprecedented challenges to agricultural production globally and in the United States; it is both vulnerable to the impacts of a changing climate and a contributor to greenhouse gas emissions. Because farmers need to quickly adapt to reduce their risks and emissions, there is a pressing need to better understand the process by which they make decisions. This complex decision‐making process includes many factors, such as farmers’ beliefs; knowledge and capacity to make changes; the information they receive from Extension, industry, and social networks (e.g., family and peers); economics and regulations; and farm‐scale and environmental issues (including personal experience with extreme weather). This study assesses the published literature on U.S. agricultural stakeholder views and decisions on climate change, focusing on farmers and ranchers from different regions. We identify key themes that emerge from the literature on how stakeholder views about extreme weather and climate change relate to decisions about adaptation and mitigation practices. This review finds that although the majority of U.S. farmers believe the climate is changing, many remain skeptical of the issue and uncertain about the anthropogenic causes of climate change. Farmers’ climate change mitigation and adaptation decisions also vary widely and are often correlated with belief or other factors such as personal experience with extreme weather, costs of change, or fear of regulation. We conclude with the implications of the research, including the importance of understanding farmers’ view and actions and issue framing, and implications for researchers, Extension and policy makers, both nationally and globally.

“…Encuestas a rancheros norteamericanos revelan que más del 70% tenían muy poco o ningún conocimiento acerca de los servicios ambientales y un 63 % de ellos puntos de vista negativos del secuestro de carbono. Solamente el 4% de los encuestados mostraron una disponibilidad incondicional a participar en programas de secuestro de carbono pero el 71% manifestó que participarían eventualmente dependiendo de nueva información (Ma & Coppock, 2012).…”

Resumen Se realizó un estudio para estimar la disponibilidad a pagar (DAP) para la implementación de un programa de conservación y mejoramiento de pastizales (PCMP) en la Región Pasco, mediante el método de valoración contingente. Para estimar la DAP se aplicó una encuesta preliminar de tipo abierta a 30 pobladores y otra cerrada en formato binario a otros 105. Los resultados de la encuesta preliminar abierta permitieron definir siete vectores de pagos o BIDs (S/. 1, 5, 10, 20, 25, 30 y 40), a partir de los cuales se aplicó una encuesta cerrada a razón de 15 personas por BID. Los resultados de la encuesta cerrada así obtenida se vaciaron en el programa NLOGIT 3.0 para su corrida utilizando una distribución LOGIT, en tres etapas. La primera con todas las variables de la encuesta, la segunda con las variables socioeconómicas y la tercera con el ingreso familiar mensual. Los outputs de las tres etapas produjeron resultados similares en los signos, negativo para BID y positivo para los ingresos familiares. La DAP fue S/. 3.94/familia/mes, revelando que la Región Pasco podría recaudar anualmente aproximadamente 1.95 millones de soles para la implementación del PCMP. Palabras clave: disponibilidad a pagar, valoración contingente, pastizales alto andinos.

“…Prior to estimating the econometric model, we compute variance inflation factors (VIFs) between all explanatory factors to test for harmful multicollinearity. According to the rule of thumb, VIFs values equal to or larger than 10 may be a concern for multicollinearity [45,46].…”

We examined the associations between social capital and rural households’ perceptions toward social, economic, and environmental benefits of forest carbon sequestration projects by employing the proportional odds model based on data collected from a rural household survey in Sichuan and Yunnan Provinces, China. Results revealed that: (i) households’ perceptions toward environmental benefits are more positive than their perceptions toward economic benefits and social benefits, and their perceptions toward economic benefits are more positive than their perceptions toward social benefits; (ii) households having a good relationship with village officials have higher odds of holding more positive perceptions toward social, economic, and environmental benefits of the projects; (iii) households which are members of local associations are more likely to have positive perceptions toward benefits of the projects; (iv) households whose members are more frequently involved in village-level public events are more likely to have more positive perceptions toward benefits of the projects; (v) households having more educated household heads have higher odds of holding better perceptions toward the benefits of FCS projects; and (vi) households of Yunnan Province are less likely to express positive perceptions toward benefits of the projects. Based on the research results, we concluded that social capital is significantly and positively associated with rural households’ perceptions toward benefits of forest carbon sequestration projects. Some policy implications are provided regarding how to make use of social capital elements to shape farmers’ perceptions toward benefits of the projects for the purpose of achieving a higher level of local acceptability for and sustainability of the projects.
