Society of Extension Education GujaratAbstract: Environmental degradation encompasses the decline of ecosystem health, resulting from both natural processes and human activities. Agriculture significantly contributes to this degradation through practices such as deforestation, excessive use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides, crop residue burning and unsustainable irrigation. These activities result in soil, air and water pollution and increased greenhouse gas emissions. Ex-post-facto research design was used. Researchers conducted personal interviews with farmers at their homes. For the study's sampling, four talukas were randomly selected from the Anand district. From each of these four talukas, four villages were then randomly chosen, resulting in a total of 16 randomly selected villages. Finally, ten farmers were randomly selected from each of these 16 villages. This systematic approach yielded a total sample size of 160 respondents. Keeping in view these facts, the present investigation entitled "The influence of farmer characteristics on knowledge of environmental degradation" was undertaken with the following objectives. The study revealed that nearly four-fifths (78.12%) of the respondents had high to moderate knowledge about environmental degradation.
