“…Based on this literature, a synergistic mix is generally desirable, given different benefits of instruments [11,15,16]. Most prominently, current advisory, or information strategies need to be expanded with measures such as tailor-made incentives [31][32][33]. Given the widespread acknowledgment of policy mixes in the literature, the European Commission has also advised using a diverse set of instruments, here referring to legislation, incentives, and information to achieve sustainable agriculture [5].…”

“…However, these categories often do not fully capture the various ways farmers can engage with advice and information, and they tend to be normatively applied to favor one way of producing over another (Gilles et al 2013). Various variables and causes, such as farm size, asset status, and education, but also factors such as stability or turbulence in the regulatory environment, influence farmers' variation in demand for advisory services (Klerkx, De Grip, and Leeuwis 2006;Prager et al 2016;Vrain and Lovett 2016). As Ingram (2008) argues based on her study of promotion of best management practices, farmers can be more pro-active or re-active in their relationship with advisors, and the relationship can be steered by either the advisor or the farmer, or can be more equal.…”

“…As the commercialization of agricultural advisory services raises challenges relating to uneven distribution of farm advice , it has been found essential to complement commercial advisory services with public advisory services that reach different types of farmers, for example, small farmers or farmers who do not engage in active information-seeking behavior Prager et al 2016). It is also necessary to pay attention to topics that may not be of high private interest but may have a more public good character, for example, environmental and rural development issues (Klerkx and Jansen 2010;Vrain and Lovett 2016), and thus do not always stimulate farmers to autonomously demand services related to these topics.…”

“…Recent studies have pointed out complex factors such as lack of ascription to self (Macgregor & Warren, ; Novo, Martin‐Ortega, & Holstead, ), cultural and normative aspects (Okumah, Chapman, et al, ; Okumah, Yeboah, et al, ), uncertainty surrounding scientific evidence and lack of stakeholder awareness (Barnes, Willock, Hall, & Toma, ; Novo et al, ; Okumah, Martin‐Ortega, & Novo, ; Vrain & Lovett, ) as partly responsible for minimal progress. Undoubtedly, most of these factors influence stakeholders' behaviors in relation to water resources pollution and management.…”
