This study examined the adoption by farmers of reduced tillage practices in Danish conventional farming by means of observation and interviews with farmers involved in an experience exchange group. It identified why these farmers began reducing tillage, how they succeeded with it and what hindrances they encountered in the context of Danish conventional farming. The study found that experience exchange groups for farmers play a vital role in their rediscovery of the interrelations between agriculture and nature and of the fundamental importance of soil life and processes. The repetitive nature of interactions in a group like this may lead to the permanent adoption of sustainable practices.

这项研究通过观察和与经验交流小组的农民进行访谈，研究了农民在丹麦传统农业中采用的减少耕作方式。它确定了这些农民为什么开始减少耕种，他们如何成功耕种以及在丹麦常规农业中遇到的障碍。研究发现，农民的经验交流小组在重新发现农业与自然之间的关系以及土壤生命和过程的根本重要性方面起着至关重要的作用。在这样的小组中，互动的重复性质可能导致永久采用可持续做法。
