      abstract = {We investigate farmers’ intentions to apply biodiversity  conservation practices from psychological perspective,  using an adapted version of the theory of planned behaviour  (TPB), including group norms and putting emphasis on moral  norms and self-identity. The study is based on a  quantitative survey (n = 106) in Belgium, analyzed using  confirmatory factor analyses and path analysis. Results  show that the impact of attitudes, social norms and  perceived behavioural control on intentions is almost fully  mediated through moral norms and self-identity. To have a  sustained impact, change actions should strive to embed  biodiversity conservation into the social norms and into  the good farmer identity of the farming community.},
