不可持续的农业做法正在破坏世界未来可靠生产粮食的能力。援助方案,如美国自然资源保护局提供的援助方案,可以增加可持续做法的采用,但这些替代品在美国的实施仍然有限,令人沮丧。在这种情况下,我们采用了一种跨学科的方法,涉及定量和定性数据,以评估目前的NRCS援助方案的有效性,并确定需要改进的领域。为此,我们首先分析了国家报告的NRCS支出和英亩处理在过去的15年,然后分发了一个探索性的调查,整个犹他州的农民和牧场主。我们的NRCS方案分析表明,历史上支出的增加对增加处理的英亩数没有效果。调查答复表明,金融和非金融因素对农民的决策都有影响。高度重视可持续做法的农民受到公众看法和环境管理的激励,而中度重视的农民则受到潜在投资回报的激励。总体而言,NRCS项目的参与者报告的积极成果比非参与者预期的要多。我们希望这项研究的发现能够指导未来的研究,并为改善犹他州、美国其他地区和其他地方的NRCS援助计划提供信息。
Unsustainable agriculture practices are undermining the world's future ability to reliably produce food. Assistance programmes, such as those offered by the Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS) of the United States, can increase the uptake of sustainable practices, yet implementation of these alternatives in the US remains discouragingly limited. In this context, we used an interdisciplinary approach involving quantitative and qualitative data to assess the current efficacy of NRCS assistance programmes and identify areas for improvement. To do so, we first analyzed national reports of NRCS expenditures and acres treated over the last 15 years and then distributed an explorative survey to farmers and ranchers throughout Utah state. Our NRCS programme analysis suggested that historical increases in expenditures have been ineffective at increasing the number of acres treated. The survey responses indicated that both financial and non-financial factors were influential in farmer decisions. Farmers that assigned a high importance to sustainable practices were motivated by public perception and environmental stewardship while those that assigned a moderate importance were motivated by the potential return on investment. Overall, participants in NRCS programs reported more positive outcomes than expected by non-participants. We hope the findings from this study can guide future research and inform efforts to improve NRCS assistance programmes in Utah and other regions in the US and elsewhere.
