摘要：There are established survey instruments for measuring innovations atthe individual company level. This article discusses how a questionnaire to measure innovation activity at farm level should differ from existing surveying tools in research on agriculture and other sectors. Starting from a workshop, experts and their specific knowledge and experience are used in a subsequent step. The agriculture-specific questionnaire developed on the basis of this empirical data has the following characteristics: First, it is not assumed a priori that innovations are primarily intended to improve the economic performance. In addition, the questionnaire also investigates the importance of natural resources and social aspects. We conclude that, based on already existing surveying instruments, a holistic, multidimensional assessment of agricultural innovation is necessary to take account of the specific situations in agriculture.
