Why and how do farmers' organizations get involved in the promotion of agroecological techniques? Insights from Burkina Faso

Aboubakar Iyabano et al.

Summary: Farmers' organizations play a crucial role in promoting and disseminating agroecological techniques in Burkina Faso, with their involvement driven by the desire to enhance crop productivity and improve farmer resilience. These organizations define agroecology as a collective practice that integrates both economic and ecological aspects of agriculture, facilitating the blending of traditional and external approaches.

Adoption of sustainable agricultural technologies for vegetable production in rural Tanzania: trade-offs, complementarities and diffusion

Justus Ochieng et al.

Summary: While sustainable agricultural technologies have positively impacted staple crop yields in Asia, small-scale farmers in Tanzania show low adoption rates in the vegetable subsector. Factors influencing technology adoption include knowledge levels, access to credit, group membership, participation in demonstration trials, and livestock holdings. These technologies have different peak levels of adoption and should be tailored to specific circumstances to optimize adoption rates.

Adoption by adaptation: moving from Conservation Agriculture to conservation practices

Jonne Rodenburg et al.

Summary: Conservation Agriculture (CA) is a sustainable agricultural intensification strategy that can improve soils and sustain crop yields, but adoption rates in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) are generally low due to the significant transformation required in management practices, multiple inherent trade-offs, and incompatibility with local conditions. Improving CA adoption in SSA could involve focusing on promoting CA in environments where it best fits or facilitating smallholders' adaptation of CA practices to their specific conditions and constraints.

Adoption and diffusion of digital farming technologies-integrating farm-level evidence and system interaction

Linmei Shang et al.

Summary: The adoption and diffusion of digital farming technologies are crucial for transforming current agricultural systems towards sustainability. While existing research mainly focuses on farm-level adoption and agent-based models for diffusion, there is a need for a more integrated approach. Building on empirical farm-level studies and agent-based models, a new conceptual framework is developed to connect the empirical evidence on technology adoption with model-driven investigation of innovation diffusion. This holistic approach can provide insights for policymakers aiming to foster the diffusion of digital technologies in agriculture.

Bringing evidence to bear for negotiating tradeoffs in sustainable agricultural intensification using a structured stakeholder engagement process

Leigh Ann Winowiecki et al.

Summary: This study aimed to support evidence-based decision making in Zambia, Tanzania, and Ethiopia. Findings revealed that less than half of the decision makers in SAI had access to and used evidence, many stakeholders working on SAI were not collaborating, tradeoff analysis was under-utilized, and structured engagement across multiple stakeholder groups with evidence is critical.

Political Agroecology in Senegal: Historicity and Repertoires of Collective Actions of an Emerging Social Movement

Patrick Bottazzi et al.

Summary: Agroecology has become an ideological foundation for social and environmental transformation in sub-Saharan Africa, with advocacy coalitions in Senegal utilizing it to propose policy changes at multiple scales. While these approaches have the potential to transform food systems sustainably, challenges such as limited agency of farmer organizations, dependency on NGOs and international donors, and conflicting political and financial interests hinder the development of counter-hegemonic agroecology in the region.
