flag Farmers rank climate change highly, but public misperceives their top concerns, new study shows.

flag A new ESRI study reveals that the public underestimates farmers' concerns about climate change. flag Among 467 surveyed farmers, 43% ranked climate change as one of their top three issues, comparable to negative perceptions of farming and above high workload. flag Despite this, the public views financial challenges as the top issue farmers face. flag While two-thirds of farmers are likely to change practices to combat climate change, over a third of both farmers and non-farmers failed to list agriculture as a top greenhouse gas emitter. flag The study also found general support for pro-climate policies, especially those involving subsidies.
