Dataset supporting: Identifying knowledge barriers to agroforestry adoption and co-designing solutions to them

These interviews were conducted to identify the perceived knowledge barriers impacting farmers who are interested in adopting in-field agroforestry in the UK. The interview results were then used to co-create solutions to these barriers and create an educational agenda for UK agroforestry (see Hood et al In Review for further information). The interviews were conducted in-person at 1:1 meetings and two workshops from September 2023 – February 2024. I interviewed 27 farmers in total. I used a perception matrix in the interviews, which contained twelve elements and eight constructs to identify perceived knowledge barriers to agroforestry adoption (see attached Interview Questions). This perception matrix was situated within a three-part interview that included farm characteristics, the perception matrix, and socio-economic demographic questions.
