全球定位系统工具等精准农业技术 (PA) 自 20 世纪 90 年代初以来已投入商业应用,人们普遍认为它们具有环境和经济效益;然而,采用研究表明,美国和欧洲农民的采用情况不平衡。这项研究旨在解决一个挥之不去的谜题:为什么一些农民采用精准农业作为粮食生产方法,而其他农民则不这样做。本研究的具体目标是研究农民采用 PA 的社会和生物物理决定因素。本文通过对农民身份的测量(特别是他们对自己在粮食系统中的角色的看法)以及他们对生物物理风险的看法来填补研究空白​​,因为这些风险与美国中西部农民的大样本中采用 PA 相关。该研究发现,农民的身份和对环境风险的看法确实会影响 PA 的采用,这些考虑因素应纳入其他司法管辖区 PA 采用的进一步研究中。研究结果似乎还强调了政策和行业努力的社会力量,将 PA 不仅有利于生产力和效率,而且是一种对生态有益的技术。
Precision agricultural technologies (PA) such as global positioning system tools have been commercially available since the early 1990s and they are widely thought to have environmental and economic benefit; however, adoption studies show uneven adoption among farmers in the U.S. and Europe. This study aims to tackle a lingering puzzle regarding why some farmers adopt precision agriculture as an approach to food production and why others do not. The specific objective of this study is to examine the social and biophysical determinants of farmers’ adoption of PA. This paper fills a research gap by including measurements of farmer identity—specifically their own conceptions of their role in the food system—as well as their perceptions of biophysical risks as these relate to the adoption of PA among a large sample of Midwestern U.S. farmers. The study has identified that farmer identity and perceptions of environmental risk do indeed influence PA adoption and that these considerations ought to be incorporated into further studies of PA adoption in other jurisdictions. The findings also appear to highlight the social force of policy and industry efforts to frame PA as not only good for productivity and efficiency but also as an ecologically beneficial technology.
