Description

In this paper we to study how perceptions of social norms on agricultural produce relate to the support for sustainable agricultural practices and the decision to share farmers' income risks and how receiving feedback on actual social norms influences these decisions. To this end we carry out two rounds of data collection with a representative sample of German residents. In the first wave we conduct an online survey and a discrete choice experiment. The second wave contains a norm intervention using a survey followed by the same discrete choice experiment as in the first wave. In the experiment, participants decide between either one of two contracts with a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) farm delivering dairy products on a weekly basis or no contract. (There are no results yet, since data collection is ongoing).
