  1. λThe estimate is interpreted as a percentage in relation to yes responses “Yes = 1”.
  2. δThis variable was created as the difference between two questions: How many SPS success stories do you know in your municipality, and how many SPS success stories do you know in other municipalities? The positive values of the variable indicate that they know more success stories in their municipality than in the rest of the region.
  3. γThis variable is a dummy variable that takes the value of 1 when the farmer employs distinct management practices in the various paddocks of their farm. In other words, it indicates whether the farmer implements different approaches or strategies for managing different areas within their farm.
