Understanding Farmer Motivations for Synthetic Nitrogen Reduction: Insights from the Farmer Intention Survey
This study used data from the Farmer Intentions Survey, a large-scale survey of Scottish farmers conducted every five years since 2013. The survey explores farmer intentions and management decisions. This study identifies key motivations behind reductions in synthetic nitrogen fertiliser use among Scottish farmers. It aims to clarify which farmers are reducing their use and what factors are associated with that decision, providing insight into potential drivers of sustainable practice adoption.
