It has long been accepted that we must consider the 'individual', their biases and perceptions when working through one-on-one engagement and extension approaches to achieve behavioural change, but this can be easier said than done. Surveying the opinions of farmers through water quality practice change projects and other mechanisms in the Great Barrier Reef catchment has been in place since mid-2019. These surveys assess the attitudes, group norms, self-efficacy, motivations, and barriers of farmers in the sugar cane, grazing, horticulture and banana industries and provide extension officers with a practical way to consider the individual factors of their producers. The insights from these surveys can add a tool to the extension toolbelt that extension officers can use to adjust their approach for the individual and meet them where they are on the change continuum. These insights can also help build extension officers' own professional skills in line with the emerging Extension Model of Practice - a framework for agricultural extension. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
