Knowledge and Adoption of Complex Agricultural Technologies: Evidence from an Extension Experiment

Denise Hoemer et al.

Summary: In most of Sub-Saharan Africa, agricultural extension models have become more decentralized and participatory, relying on effective farmer-to-farmer learning. The study found that farmer-to-farmer extension and video intervention can increase adoption and knowledge of complex technology packages, especially for farmers not actively participating in extension activities. The results suggest that additional video intervention has a reinforcing effect on information diffusion and promotes adoption of integrated packages among farmers.

The joint effects of information and financing constraints on technology adoption: Evidence from a field experiment in rural Tanzania

Aurelie P. Harou et al.

Summary: Low investment in profitable technologies contributes to persistent poverty, with many farmers in developing countries investing too little in fertilizer despite evidence of profitability. A field experiment shows that providing farmers with soil-specific fertilizer recommendations and input subsidies can lead to increased fertilizer application and yields, overcoming financing constraints.

Credit, Attention, and Externalities in the Adoption of Energy Efficient Technologies by Low-Income Households

Susanna B. Berkouwer et al.

Summary: We conducted an experiment in Nairobi, studying the energy efficient charcoal cookstove. The results show significant reduction in charcoal spending and a high annual return. However, households are only willing to pay a small amount for the stove. Loan availability increases willingness to pay, indicating credit constraints as a barrier to adopting optimal energy efficient technologies. Energy efficient technologies are crucial for sustainable development.

Ambiguity preference, social learning and adoption of soil testing and formula fertilization technology

Haixia Wu et al.

Summary: This study explores the impact of ambiguity preference and social learning on farmers' new technology adoption. The results show that ambiguity preference has a significant influence on the adoption of soil testing and formula fertilization technology, with a stronger effect on soil testing technology. Additionally, social learning has a significantly positive impact on the adoption of both technologies. The study also finds that the adoption likelihood of the technologies varies with farmers' cognitive abilities and ages, indicating that ambiguity preference and social learning can positively promote technology adoption, particularly among older farmers. Overall, this research provides micro-foundations and policy recommendations for promoting household soil testing and formula fertilization technology in rural China and offers insights on how the government can formulate relevant policies for green environmental development.

Assessment of smallholder farmers? demand for and adoption constraints to small-scale irrigation technologies: Evidence from Ethiopia

Meneyahel Z. Tesfaye et al.

Summary: Research shows that the demand for agricultural water lifting technologies among smallholder farmers is constrained by lack of access to financing options. They prefer motorized pumps due to their efficiency and labor-saving benefits. By improving access to finance and technical support, the adoption of more efficient irrigation technologies by smallholders can be promoted, leading to improved productivity.

Adoption of agricultural technology in the developing world: A meta-analysis of the empirical literature

Sacha Ruzzante et al.

Summary: This study investigates factors influencing adoption of agricultural technologies across different contexts. Variables such as farmer education, household size, land size, access to credit, and organization membership are positively correlated with adoption. However, determinants vary widely by technology, cultural context, and geography, suggesting a need for tailored approaches to promote agricultural technologies in the developing world.
