The role of grazier motivations and risk attitudes in the adoption of grazing best management practices
Greiner, Romy; Miller, Owen; Patterson, Louisa - 2008
The onus on landholders in relation to environmental performance is ever increasing. One toolfor achieving environmental improvements is the design and promotion of region-specific‘best management practices’ (BMPs). These are conservation practices aimed at reducingdiffuse source pollution...

A GROUP INCENTIVE PROGRAM FOR FARMER ADOPTION OF BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES: AN APPLICATION TO THE NITRATE POLLUTION PROBLEM IN CENTRAL ILLINOIS
Ipe, Viju C.; DeVuyst, Eric A. - 1999
The paper demonstrates a group incentive program to encourage farmer adoption of best management practices. It is demonstrated that the best management practices may not actually reduce farm profits but may increase farm profits and reduce environmental pollution. This may bring about a win-win...
