Abstract
An online survey designed within Qualtrics will be conducted in the entirety of Ontario. The survey will be distributed to all the farmers who are members of Ontario Soil and Crop Improvement Association (OSCIA). When designing the survey, we sought advice from various practitioners of agricultural policies, to ensure the survey questions are easily understood by farmers and the hypothetical scenarios are realistic. The survey will collect information on agricultural operations (e.g. farm size, main field-based agricultural crops, experience and perception with BMPs), choice experiment (BMP programs with hypothetical BMP type, duration, participation mode, technical support source, inspection type, and compensation level), environmental attitude (e.g. level of concern about drinking water pollution and climate change, and knowledge of local water quality), and socio-economics (e.g. age, gender, education and income). The data will be analyzed with proper economic and econometric models.
Purpose
The main goal of this research in Agricultural Water Futures is to investigate farmers’ current Best Management Practices (BMPs) adoption status and elicit their demand for monetary compensation to take certain measures. We pay particular attention to the factors and conditions that incentivize farmers’ adoption. The core part of the project is to design a discrete choice experiment which specifies a couple of hypothetical BMP options for pre-identified attributes. Choice experiment, as a stated preference method, along with other socio-demographic characteristics of the farmer and farm operation data, can recover estimates of farmers’ willingness-to-accept for taking up
BMPs.
This dataset is collected to support the objectives of Agricultural Water Futures in Canada: Stressors and Solutions: Work Package 3". Agricultural Water Futures is a Pillar 3 project under the Global Water Futures Program funded by Canada First Research Excellence Fund.
