Applicability of diffusion of innovation theory in organic agriculture

Mirela Tomaš Simin, Dejan Janković · 2014 · Ekonomika poljoprivrede

Summary. The authors argue that diffusion of innovation theory can effectively explain how organic farming spreads and is adopted by agricultural communities.

The authors conclude the framework is applicable to studying organic farming adoption.
