Abstract


This paper uses the 2005 “Survey on Individuals’ Opinion on Rurality and Agriculture in Andalusia. Agrobarometre 2005” to empirically investigate the relevance of agri-environmental property rights as dynamic social institutions upon which the agriculture-environment-society relationship is based. Gaining a better understanding on individuals’ perceptions of agri-environmental property rights will be of particular relevance to contribute agri-environmental policy evaluation and development. Results indicate the existence of an increasing environmental awareness among individuals in Andalusia who support the implementation of eco-compatible practices among farmers.
