TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the cognitive perception of risk among Polish farmers and the factors which have an impact on this perception and found that farmers' risk perception is dominated by the subjective factors (average loss caused by drought in the previous year, frequency of other types of impact of drought, catastrophic potential of drought risk, immediacy of effect, the degree to which the risk is known to science, number of farms susceptible to drought, trust in experts' assessment of the assessment of drought.

Abstract: The purpose of this research is to investigate the cognitive perception of risk among Polish farmers and the factors which have an impact on this perception. Statistical analysis and logit models were applied for analysing the representative poll taken in February and March 2019 in Poland (N=200). Farmers’ risk perception is dominated by the subjective factors (average loss caused by drought in the previous year, frequency of other types of impact of drought, catastrophic potential of drought risk, immediacy of effect, the degree to which the risk is known to science, number of farms susceptible to drought, trust in experts’ assessment of drought, trust in the media informing about drought, age and level of education) to a much higher extent than by the objective ones (monthly income, specialising in plant output, high-cost crops, the share of income from farming in the whole income).

Perceptions of risk and adaptation: Coffee producers, market shocks, and extreme weather in Central America and Mexico
TL;DR: This paper explored the role of risk perception in adaptation to stress through comparative case studies of coffee farmers' responses to climatic and non-climatic stressors and found that farmers who associated events with high risk were not more likely to engage in specific adaptations.

Societal risks as seen by a Norwegian public
TL;DR: In two studies, questionnaires originally developed to study risk perception in the United States were administered to Norwegian students and found that the level of perceived risk in Norway was clearly below American scores for most hazards, but slightly above what has been found in a parallel Hungarian study as mentioned in this paper.
