Soil and water conservation projects and rural livelihoods: options for design and research to enhance adoption and adaptation

Technological Capital and Sustainable Livelihood

“…The study supports earlier findings that adequate professional support is responsible for assimilation of technology into local livelihood system (Farrington and Lobo 1997;McDonald and Brown 2000). It has been observed that professional support influences equity among the community members.…”

“…Agreeing to earlier study, it is suggested that technology absorption influence livelihood in watersheds (McDonald and Brown 2000). Appropriate land use according to land suitability for livelihood on agriculture, horticulture, agroforestry, forestry, floriculture, medicinal plant cultivation and so on increase psychological happiness of beneficiaries.…”

The Role of Biological Technologies in Land Quality Management: Drivers for Farmer’s Adoption in the Central Highlands of Kenya

“…Experience has shown that appropriate technologies are not always adopted, even where the need is obvious (Guerin, 1999). Farmers may reject or abandon many technologies that have been useful and adopt others in their place since they consider a variety of factors in deciding whether or not to adopt particular conservation practices (Brouwers, 1993;McDonald and Brown, 2000;Soule et aI., 2000). This highlights the need to develop a better understanding of the conditions that encourage sustained adoption of conservation practices.…”

Technology Adoption Motivation Among Organic Cocoa Farmers in Southwest Nigeria

“…This means that farmers with larger farm sizes were less likely to adopt organic farming practices than farmers with smaller farm sizes. This could be because farmers with larger farm sizes are less willing to bear the risk of trying new technologies or changing their existing practices [7,21,35].…”
