Read article at Massey Research Online:

New Zealand freshwater quality has declined, and dairy farming is one identified contributor to this decline. Government and the dairy industry progressively introduced a suite of water quality interventions to encourage and enforce dairy farm management practice change. Mrs Collins explored Manawatu-Wanganui dairy farmers鈥� responses to water quality interventions, and found farmers responded as individuals and as a collective of dairy farmers. She also explored the socio-cultural dynamics that shaped farmers鈥� individual and collective responses. Social interactions through social networks, trust, social norms and being a 鈥榞ood鈥� farmer that uses 鈥榖est鈥� farm practice were key influencers of dairy farmers鈥� individual and collective responses. In conclusion, dairy farm management practice change is a social process, or a process of exchanging information and knowledge, questioning, challenging and reinforcing what is considered 鈥榖est鈥� practice. Mrs Collins鈥� research provides a valuable contribution to the design and implementation of environmental policy interventions.
