ABSTRACT The increasing proportion of rural landowners who do not identify as farmers has meaningful consequences for efforts to influence the adoption of sustainable farming practices. This article aims to contribute to the knowledge base for those responding to that challenge. A survey of 2000 rural landowners in south eastern (SE) Australia employed a 12-item collective occupational identity construct to explore the extent farmer occupational identity explained variance in landowner implementation of three recommended sustainable farming practices. Practices included the planting of perennial pasture and lucerne, testing soils for nutrient status, and the application of lime to address soil acidity. Logistic regression indicated farmer occupational identity enhanced the explanatory power of models exploring implementation of those practices. Four distinct rural landowner cohorts were identified based on farmer identity: full-time, part-time, hobby and non-farmers. Part-time and full-time farmers are similar in that they are focused on farming as a business. By comparison, hobby and non-farmers give a higher priority to biodiversity and amenity values associated with their properties. The classification and knowledge of the attributes of each cohort can be used to support more effective engagement with the increasingly diverse population of rural landholders in many of the regions in SE Australia.

农村土地所有者的身份会影响可持续农业实践的采用吗?

摘要越来越多的不被认定为农民的农村土地所有者,对影响采用可持续耕作方式的努力产生了有意义的影响。本文旨在为应对这一挑战的人们提供知识库。对澳大利亚东南部(SE)的2000个农村土地所有者的一项调查采用了12个项目的集体职业身份结构,以探讨农民的职业身份解释了三种推荐的可持续农业实践在土地所有者实施中的差异的程度。实践包括种植多年生牧场和卢塞恩,测试土壤的养分状况以及施用石灰解决土壤酸度问题。Logistic回归表明,农民的职业身份增强了探索实施这些做法的模型的解释力。根据农民的身份确定了四个不同的农村土地所有者群体:全职,兼职,业余爱好和非农民。兼职和专职农民的相似之处在于他们将耕种作为一项业务。相比之下,嗜好者和非农民将与他们的财产有关的生物多样性和舒适性价值放在首位。每个队列的属性的分类和知识可用于支持更有效地参与澳大利亚东南部许多地区日益多样化的农村土地所有者群体。嗜好者和非农民优先考虑与其属性相关的生物多样性和舒适性价值。每个队列的属性的分类和知识可用于支持更有效地参与澳大利亚东南部许多地区日益多样化的农村土地所有者群体。嗜好者和非农民优先考虑与其属性相关的生物多样性和舒适性价值。每个队列的属性的分类和知识可用于支持更有效地参与澳大利亚东南部许多地区日益多样化的农村土地所有者群体。
