“…Cause reflects an individual's understanding of how non-point source (NPS) pollution runoff degrades an aquatic system (Ervin and Ervin, 1982;Esseks and Kraft, 1988), and consequences captures if an individual is aware of the consequences of poor water quality (Saliba and Bromley, 1986;McNamara et al, 1991). Knowledge reflects retention of facts pertaining to environmental quality (Belknap and Saupe, 1988;Saltiel et al, 1994).…”

a b s t r a c tThis meta-analysis of both published and unpublished studies assesses factors believed to influence adoption of agricultural Best Management Practices in the United States. Using an established statistical technique to summarize the adoption literature in the United States, we identified the following variables as having the largest impact on adoption: access to and quality of information, financial capacity, and being connected to agency or local networks of farmers or watershed groups. This study shows that various approaches to data collection affect the results and comparability of adoption studies. In particular, environmental awareness and farmer attitudes have been inconsistently used and measured across the literature. This meta-analysis concludes with suggestions regarding the future direction of adoption studies, along with guidelines for how data should be presented to enhance the adoption of conservation practices and guide research.Published by Elsevier Ltd.

“…The occupation of the farmer is an indication of the total amount of time available for farming activities. Off-farm employment may present a constraint to adoption of technology because it competes for on-farm managerial time (McNamara et al, 1991).…”

This study examined farmers' adaptive measures to climate change induced natural shocks through past climate experiences in the Mekong River Delta (Vietnam) from a data set of 330 farmers. Seemingly unrelated regression model was used to identify the determinants of farmers' adaptive measures. Results showed that male household head, education of the household head, marital status of the household head, production assets, firm size, availability of credit, access to market, temperature and rainfall had significant impacts on choices of adaptation. Results also indicated that past climate experiences was the most important determinant of adaptive measures. Policy messages enhanced access to credit, to markets, and created awareness on climate change. Other policy options could also be suggested, including: strengthening education level of farmers, facilitating cheap technologies, spurring irrigation investment through public -private partner, and supporting the land reform such as farmers' cooperation in large-scale production.

“…However, there is contention on the direction of the effect of age on adoption. Age was found to positively influence adoption of sorghum in Burkina Faso (Adesiina and Baidu-Forson, 1995), IPM on peanuts in Georgia (McNamara, Wetzstein, and Douce, 1991), and chemical control of rice stink bug in Texas.…”
