2022 AAEA Annual Meeting
Full text linkUsing a discrete choice experiment, our study investigates consumer preferences for different levels of pesticide use in organic, integrated pest management, and Conventional production methods. An online survey of fresh tomato purchases was conducted in Missouri in the fall of 2021. Fresh tomatoes were selected because tomatoes grown using various production methods are currently being sold at farm stands, farmers\u27 markets, supermarkets, natural stores, or even online in Missouri. Tomatoes are listed in the Dirty Dozen because of threats of pesticide residue from insecticides, fungicides, and herbicides (The Environmental Working Group, 2020). We estimated WTP for one pound of tomatoes, differentiated by varying degrees of pesticide use and other attributes discussed below. The study contributes to the scarce literature on demand for sustainable production method attributes such as IPM. The WTP measures estimated in the paper also provide insight into the perceived trade-offs among product attributes. Because individual WTP values are calculated, this information can also be used to examine the characteristics of consumers interested in lower pesticide us
The Importance of Experiential Learning in Agriculture Literacy Opportunities
Full text linkLearning Preferences (LP) are considered stable indicators of how students and adults respond to factors of learning in an environment. The environment is interactive with cognitive thought, critical and creative thinking, emotional, physical, and social learning processes. Research farms remain popular for academic and extension faculty use because of the opportunity to share rich experiential teaching opportunities for all ages. Agriculture\u27s connection to human health and environmental quality, and the societal lack of understanding agriculture literacy, exposes the need for enhanced agricultural education efforts. Lincoln University at Jefferson City, Missouri introduced thirty-five (35) incoming agriculture majors, with varying levels of prior knowledge to agriculture, by using experiential methodology. A blind pre- and post-event survey was performed that contained twenty-one (21) prompts using a 5-point Likert scale, regarding introduced topics and disciplines for the day. A paired t-test with probability correction for multiple t-tests was used to analyze the data set. Exposing incoming freshmen to Agriculture Literacy, by using hands-on learning and visual experiences, increased student understanding of agriculture disciplines in Poultry Science, Animal Welfare, Aquaculture, Plants and Soil Science, Environmental Sciences and Geospatial Information Systems (GIS). Additional questions on the post-event survey asked participants to share their favorite activities of the day. The top three activities were all fully involved hands-on activities of the day. These included sorting and weighing sheep, catching chickens, candling eggs, and preparing and testing soil samples. The least favorite activities included more watching and listening which included less hands-on training
