| Abstract: | This paper examines the factors that affect the adoption of best management practices (BMPs) in Southern Ontario watersheds
using both qualitative and quantitative techniques. A sample of 164 farmers was analyzed and triangulated with the results
from in-depth interviews. The results suggest that farm and personal characteristics affect the adoption rate of BMPs and
there should be financial incentives in order to create an enabling environment that will encourage the adoption of BMPs. |
