Abstract	Abstract This paper investigated the significant socio-economic characteristics that contributed to differences in attitudes towards environmental degradation among rural farming communities. The population in this study was farmers in rural areas of the Limpopo Province of South Africa. In all, 396 farmers constituted the cohort for the study. Since it was not possible to collect data from all farmers in the province, a simple random sampling method was used in the study. Positive and significant association with environmental degradation was found among farmers with high levels of education, years of farming and household size. It was recommended that since educated farmers in rural farming communities are most likely to understand the detrimental effects of environmental degradation, they should be targeted in research on environmental degradation.
