The paper is an analysis of factors limiting and facilitating energy adaptions among Maine farmers and is based on research gleaned from 15 focus groups of growers from several farming sectors throughout Maine.\u00a0 The authors found that there were notable differences in adaptation strategies between small diversified and large commodity farms, and that
\nthese differing strategies were associated with distinct customs and beliefs. They based their research on institutional economics theory.\u00a0 \u201cInstitutional change is a pervasive process
\nin our society as we strive to adapt to macro changes in natural, societal and economic environments,\u201d said Welcomer. \u201cUnderstanding what helps and hinders actors in adapting is vital
\nin our economic and social processes.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
