A Qualitative Study of Irish Beef Farmers’ Production Decisions: Summary & Implications for Extension
This summary report presents some of the main categories of factors influencing farmers’ production activities and is intended to be of interest to extension professionals and those with a remit in agricultural policy development and the design and implementation of extension programmes. The report was developed collaboratively by Teagasc researchers and a Teagasc extension specialist. The report has four main sections. First, a background of the genesis and rationale of the BETTER Farm Beef Programme is presented. Second, an overview of the research approach is presented, identifying the main questions that the research project sought to answer and the methodology used. Third, the research findings are presented, highlighting the types of factors that were found to influence farmers’ production decisions. The main focus is on farmers’ characteristics and on knowledge and social enablers. The final section of this summary report highlights implications from this research for extension, identifying specific areas of current and future extension practice where learning arising from the research has application.
