Promoting sustainable agricultural production requires farmers to adopt new technologies such as organic farming to increase the agricultural productivity, while conserving the environment. Adoption and diffusion of new technologies need a long process, as experienced in the past. There are social and economic factors, identified in the literature, and those could cause delays in farmers,Äô use of new technologies. Hence, technology adoption and diffusion are important policy issues in agriculture. For that reason, this paper provides a literature review including factors influencing the adoption and diffusion of technology in agriculture and aims to contribute to the future studies and policies, especially focusing on the social capital or the social aspects, which are proven not to be analyzed by the previous studies comprehensively. The results show that interaction with neighbors and relatives, and membership in a group or organization, which represent the social aspects, has a positive influence on adoption and diffusion of new technologies. Hence, policy-makers should incorporate the social aspects when designing the policies, such as cost sharing programmes, to promote adoption and diffusion of new technologies.

Ensuring a stable and healthful food supply for the world’s growing population has become increasingly urgent, particularly in the face of climate change. In spite of expected increases in food production in developing countries, the number of people at risk of hunger is predicted to grow, especially in the world’s poorest regions. While technology is not a panacea, it is critical to addressing the food production side of the food security equation. The social, economic, and other factors that affect technology adoption are complex and varied, requiring research that combines natural and social sciences to understand how best to influence the uptake and sustained use of effective technologies. Research should focus on four areas where complex combinations of challenges inhibit adoption. Understanding (1) farm-level, (2) economic, and (3) policy barriers would illuminate where promising innovations may be viable. Further, researchers should explore which approaches most effectively drive adoption of (4) combinations of agricultural practices and technologies.

Master's Thesis from the year 2013 in the subject Agrarian Studies, Wollega University (School of graduate studies), language: English, abstract: This study analyzed factors affecting modern agricultural technology adoption by farmers and the impact of technology adoption decision on the welfare of households in the study area. The data used for the study were obtained from 145 randomly selected sample households in the study area. Binary logit model was employed to analyze the determinants of farmers’ decisions to adopt modern technologies. Moreover, the average effect of adoption on household incomes and expenditure were estimated by using propensity score matching method. The result of the logistic regression showed that household heads’ education level, farm size, credit accessibility, perception of farmers about cost of the inputs and off-farm income positively and significantly affected the farm households’ adoption decision; while family size affected their decision negatively and significantly. The result of the propensity score matching estimation showed that the average income and consumption expenditure of adopters are greater than that of non-adopters. Based on these findings it is recommended that the zonal and the woreda leaders extension agents farm and education experts, policy makers and other development oriented organizations have to plan in such a way that the farm households in the study area will obtain sufficient education, credit accessibilities and also have to train farmers to make them understand the benefits obtained from adopting the new technologies. These bodies have also to arrange policy issues that improve farm labour participation of household members and also to arrange the ways in which farmers obtain means of income outside farming activities.

After more than 50 years of conflict, in late 2016, the Peace Agreement was signed between the Colombian government and the guerrilla group FARC-EP, the main illegal armed group that funded many of its operations through drug trafficking. This agreement represents an unprecedented opportunity for peace, not only because it promotes actions against illicit drugs and their devastating effects on the rural population, but also because it revitalizes and gives ground to the land reform postponed many times by the government during the last century. Among the strategies proposed by the Agreement is the Rural Development Plans with a Territorial Approach (PDET), which will be implemented for 10 years in 170 municipalities of special attention in the post-conflict period, and the National Comprehensive Plan for Substitution of Illicit Crops (PNIS) which focuses on eradicating coca plantations and supporting those involved, especially farmers and leaf collectors, to move towards licit activities. In this context, the cultivation of cacao stands out as a productive alternative for these communities. The national government, international aid organizations, and the private sector, including the National Federation of Cacao Growers (FEDECACAO), have made favorable statements regarding the potential (in terms of markets, quality, and added value) of this product to appropriately replace illicit crops and promote rural development in post-conflict areas. However, among the concerns of this proposal is the low capacity of the current cacao sector to materialize this potential, especially regarding achieving production volumes and quality that make the business viable enough to allow for the abandonment of coca. Among other factors associated with the poor results, researchers have highlighted the low usage of technologies necessary to generate the expected production. Although some available studies evaluate the adoption levels in Colombia, few studies investigate how social and economic factors influence the technical decisions of cacao farmers for the management of their plantations. This is especially important in cacao areas where farmers also face the effects of conflict (47% of the planted area and 46% of cacao production in Colombia is located in 149 municipalities of the 170 recognized by the Government as areas highly affected by the conflict). To address this shortcoming, this research focuses on identifying and analyzing the effects of socio-economic and technological factors on the technological adoption of cacao farms in two post-conflict regions in Colombia, Montes de María and Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta-Perijá. Through a document review process, data collection in the field (through interviews, focus groups, and workshops), and the application of a survey during 2018 and 2019, it is concluded that both individuals and contextual factors affect the adoption of technologies and practices those farmers consider relevant to improve the quality and productivity of cacao. In conclusion, the implementation of maintenance pruning, monilia control, sowing density, and harvest and post-harvest practices in cacao in the study regions are influenced differently by socioeconomic factors. Among them stand out mainly factors such as cacao relevance into farmers' income, cacao cultivation size, training, technical assistance access, mechanism or channel utilized to commercialize the cacao beans, membership in a farmer's organization, and cacao prices. Other factors were also identified but require additional research to provide more conclusive results. Among them are transportation costs, credit, labor availability, historical roots of cacao in the region, and participation in cacao quality awards. Other practices and technologies, such as irrigation, the selection of planting material from the application of the compatibility matrix, were also analyzed.
