To understand attitudinal differences between farmers inside and outside Nitrate Vulnerable Zones (NVZ) and to explore if these farmers respond differently to different types of voluntary instruments and regulation.
There are a number of voluntary and non voluntary instruments, ranging from individual, farm-based, interventions, to the catchment, landscape and national level changes, i. e. changes to default policy, which can be used to encourage farmers to act in certain ways. Understanding if how farmers in NVZ and outside these designated zones respond to these mechanisms is important for considering how to improve water quality.
Phone survey in 2007. 376 structured interviews were conducted in total. Of these, 184 were in designated zones and the rest were outside designated zones. Statistical analysis was carried out on the two groups.
