“…Originally developed in the 1930s by Stephenson and applied in the field of psychology to study human subjectivity [41,43], Q methodology was refined and popularised by Brown in the 1980s [42,44]. Now Q methodology is widely applied in social and environmental research [42,[45][46][47], such as natural resource management [38] and rural research [40,44].…”

Regenerative agriculture (RA) is emerging as one alternative model for agricultural production. However, RA has not matured sufficiently for a clear definition to have emerged, or for claimed benefits to be rigorously tested. Thus, numerous competing discourses have emerged around what RA is, and its potential role in the future of farming, leading to a level of contention about is value. This research aimed to better understand RA as a social phenomenon by using Q methodology to explore and evaluate how common discourses around agricultural sustainability, the goals of farming, and RA resonated with different Australian beef farmers. Three perspectives emerged from the data, labelled as the regenerative, environmentally conscious, and productive perspectives and represented diverse views around the goals of agriculture, the role of RA in the future of Australian agriculture, and comfort level producers have with the term and approach to farming it represents. As RA continues to grow as a movement, worldview, and farming approach, understanding the differences in thinking and worldview of proponents will be important for better understanding the goals of RA, how to reach them and measure their impact, and improve communication around RA. This is important to avoid and resolve unnecessary or destructive tensions between the range of agricultural sustainability discourses.

“…Purposive sampling is used for Q methodology, and the participants are selected for their potential to articulate their viewpoint on the topic [37]. Because Q methodology cannot generalise conclusions to a larger population, it only requires a small sample size of 10-60 participants [39,44,45,47].…”

“…Zhang et al [6] argue that an increase in scientific studies on the conservation and economic development of protected areas is expected in the coming years, to improve their management. In the literature, there are many studies about the success and failure of the management of certain specific PAs [7][8][9][10]. However, regarding cooperation applied to protected areas, knowledge is still underdeveloped.…”

The objective of this study is to gain a deeper understanding of the importance of collective brands in protected areas and what is the process and impact of their development on protected areas management. This study is applied to the collective brand Natural.PT, in Portugal, using a case study approach. The study adds value to the existing literature insofar as it explores what the process of creating a collective brand involves, what benefits and/or difficulties, and what dynamics can be developed to promote this collective brand to the tourism players operating in protected areas. To this end, a qualitative study based on documentary analysis and interviews with key informants was developed, covering the different dimensions of protected areas management and collective brands. Natura.PT case is at an early stage and the main conclusions point to the need for promotion for this collective brand and a higher advantage for stakeholders allowing more decisions according to their personal and business interests and due to the fact of operating in a protected area.
