\- METHOLOGY

## How we conducted the survey.

> ### A self-selected, non-probability sample of 10,234 farmers.
> 
> The findings reflect 10,234 farmers across 150+ countries who participated in the survey between 24 November 2025 and 30 March 2026. As a self-selected sample, results represent participating farmers rather than the global farming population.
> 
> **Confidence.** All percentages are reported with 95% confidence intervals using the Wilson score method. Sample sizes are shown alongside each statistic.
> 
> **What we don't claim.** We do not claim representation of all farmers globally, or compare directly with probability-sample datasets.
