Discussant:
Sunita Narain, Centre for Science and Environment, New Delhi and Santosh Harish, Centre for Policy Research, New Delhi
Abstract:
Crop residue burning in Northern India causes severe air pollution and depletes soil fertility. According to media reports, farmers, who continue despite a ban, claim that they have no alternative. While law enforcement and a lack of mechanical alternatives have been proposed as the main reasons for crop residue burning, the mindset of farmers remains unknown.
Max Freidrich will present the results of a recent study using the risks, attitudes, norms, abilities and self-regulation psychological theory approach to determine the main drivers of and barriers to reducing crop residue burning. The discussion will focus on how they play a key role in crop residue management and how population-tailored behaviour change interventions can complement existing efforts to tackle crop residue burning.
