Survey of Farmer and Naturalist Motivations for Pollinator Monitoring in Europe

Survey responses from farmers and naturalist recorders in Spain, Sweden, and the United Kingdom after participating in farmland biodiversity monitoring case studies in 2023. The data captures self-assessments of motivations, experience, and impact. The anonymized responses were collected online as part of the EU Horizon 2020 SHOWCASE project.

Use Cases

• Analyze stakeholder motivations for participating in biodiversity monitoring based on self-reported survey data.
• Compare experiences and perceived impacts of pollinator monitoring across different European countries.
• Study the relationship between participant background (farmer vs. naturalist) and their assessment of the monitoring process.

Strengths

• Data is anonymized to protect respondent privacy.
• Covers three distinct European countries (Spain, Sweden, UK).
• Focuses on a specific 2023 monitoring period within the SHOWCASE project.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The 117.4 KB file size suggests a limited scope and small sample size.
