Rural Sociological Barriers to Adoption of Conservation and Food safety in Rural Alberta
Mitchell, Ross; Alberta Research Council; Alberta Environmental Farm Plan Company; Alberta Agriculture, Food and Rural Development
This project was premised on the belief that adoption of conservation and food safety
beneficial management practices is affected not only by economic factors, but also by a host
of other socio-psychological variables. It was believed that a greater understanding of key
social barriers to the adoption of conservation and food safety beneficial management
practices in Alberta – and exploring the ways in which extension practices affect these
factors – would provide an improved understanding of adoption issues, thereby providing
policy makers and extension deliverers with critical knowledge to better fulfill their
respective roles. Specifically, this project explored the key motivators and barriers of
Albertan producers and how these influence (or could influence) the adoption of conservation and food safety beneficial management practices.
