Correlations are reported using Pearson’s or Spearman’s Rho (R), according to variable distribution. Farmer category is a dummy variable with agroecological set at 1 and reference at 0. Education completed is treated as a continuous variable with values from 0 (none) to 5 (post-secondary). Correlations with R < 0.20 are considered too small to be meaningful and are thus removed for clarity. *, ** and *** indicate significance at the 10, 5 and 1% levels, respectively.
