In many countries farmers face pressure to adopt practices to promote sustainability and resilience while ensuring efficient business management to produce food and other agricultural products at reasonable cost. Given a policy context in which voluntary action is preferred over government regulation, understanding farmers’ motivation to embrace recommended practices has become a major subject for research. Increasingly, this endeavour is guided by the theory of planned behaviour, a reasoned action approach (Fishbein and Ajzen, 2010). We provide a brief overview of the theory of planned behaviour and an elaboration of good practices in the assessment of the theory’s constructs. We systematically review 124 applications of the theory to farmer behaviour on a number of specific review criteria. Based on observations of improper use, we consider theoretical and methodological issues and provide recommendations for research design and data analysis.

农民作为理性行为的行为：计划行为理论的批判性研究综述

在许多国家，农民面临压力，要求他们采取措施促进可持续性和复原力，同时确保有效的商业管理，以合理的成本生产食品和其他农产品。鉴于在政策环境中，自愿行动比政府法规更受青睐，因此了解农民采用推荐做法的动机已成为研究的主要课题。这种努力越来越受到计划的行为理论（一种合理的行动方法）的指导（Fishbein和Ajzen，2010年）。我们对计划行为理论进行了简要概述，并在评估理论构造时对良好实践进行了详细阐述。我们根据许多具体的审查标准，系统地回顾了该理论在农民行为中的124种应用。根据不当使用的观察，
