Understanding Farmers’ Adoption of Sustainable Agriculture Innovations: A Systematic Literature Review

José Rosário, Lívia Madureira, Carlos Peixeira Marques, Rui Silva · 2022 · Agronomy

Summary. Farmers adopt sustainable agriculture innovations at low rates globally, especially in the Global South. This systematic review examines sociopsychological factors driving adoption decisions. Researchers find that existing models rely on constructs borrowed from other sectors and repeat variables like attitude and subjective norms while neglecting agriculture-specific factors like knowledge. The review concludes that better-tailored determinants and context-specific measurements are needed to explain farmer adoption behavior.
