Climate change is a major issue for agricultural sustainability, and changes in farming practices will be necessary both to reduce emissions and to adapt to a changing climate and to new social expectations. A complicating factor is that the processes of behaviour change are complex and can be slow to occur. Discourse analysis is useful in understanding how the discourses farmers are embedded in contribute to resistance to change. Discourses are particular ways of using language in particular situations. They have wide ranging effects on beliefs, values and behaviours. Interviews were conducted in 2008 with 63 respondents, including 22 apple growers, 29 dairy farmers and 12 agricultural consultants in Tasmania, Australia. In undertaking a discourse analysis of the transcripts of these interviews utilising N-Vivo, four specific discourses were identified as being important in shaping farmers’ perspectives of climate change and sustainability: Money, Earth, Human responsibility and Questioning. Each discourse contributes to resistance to changing behaviour in particular ways. An understanding of these discourses offers a new approach to facilitating behaviour change.

农民对气候变化和可持续农业的反应。回顾

气候变化是农业可持续发展的主要问题，因此有必要改变耕作方式，以减少排放，适应气候变化和新的社会期望。一个复杂的因素是行为改变的过程很复杂，并且发生的速度很慢。话语分析有助于理解农民如何融入话语，从而有助于抵抗变化。话语是在特定情况下使用语言的特定方式。它们对信念，价值观和行为产生广泛的影响。2008年对63名受访者进行了访谈，其中包括22名苹果种植者，29名奶农和12名农业顾问在澳大利亚塔斯马尼亚州。在利用N-Vivo对这些访谈的笔录进行话语分析时，在塑造农民对气候变化和可持续性的观点方面，有四个重要的论述被认为是重要的：金钱，地球，人类责任和质疑。每种话语都以特定方式有助于抵制行为的改变。对这些话语的理解提供了一种促进行为改变的新方法。
