Soil erosion and perception of the problem
Material type: ArticleLanguage: En Publication details: 1987Subject(s): In: Journal of Rural Studies v. 3, no. 2, p. 151-157615063Summary: Most efforts to reduce soil erosion in the USA have included an educational component designed to make farmers aware of their erosion problem. These strategies implicitly assume that once farmers become aware of an erosion problem, they will take appropriate action. It is recognized that various socialand economic factors influence the adoption process at a later stage, but their influence on perception of the problem has not been explored. This analysis indicates that perception of a soil erosion problem may be influenced more by social and economic factors than by the actual extent of the problem.
