The present paper examines the attitudes and investment behavior of arable crop farmers in a comparativecontext with farmers that specialize in tree farming (fruit and nuts). The paper reveals that there existsignificant differences on the investment behavior of the two groups. It also shows that various attitudes suchas the pro-environmental stance, acceptance of EU identity and farming motive as well as farmers behaviorregarding research and information engagement have a different impact on the investment behavior of thetwo groups as this is revealed by a series of correlation analyses. The results of the paper are expected to bevery useful for guiding policy makers in drawing effective policies for mobilizing the two groups of farmerstoward the improvement and modernization of their farms.
