Data on the adoption of pesticide-free wheat production in Switzerland
2022
Möhring, Niklas | Finger, Robert
The reduction of environmental and health risks from pesticide use is on top of the agenda of the food-value chain actors. The establishment of pesticide-free production systems could be a cornerstone for the sustainable intensification of agriculture. In Switzerland, a pesticide-free but non-organic wheat production standard is currently being introduced. We present survey data of 1105 IP-SUISSE producers on adoption, future adoption, expectations and perceptions of the program, structural farm, and farmers' characteristics, and producers' risk preferences, farming objectives, attitudes and goals, self-efficacy, and locus of control. The data was collected to identify adoption determinants, barriers, and incentives for pesticide-free wheat production. The data is combined with publicly available data on soil properties, climate, weed pressure, and spread of herbicide resistance.
