Factors influencing the adoption of sustainable agricultural technologies: evidence from the state of Espirito Santo, Brazil
Article Abstract:
A dynamic econometric model was used to examine factors influencing farmers' decision to utilize low-external-input and sustainable agriculture technology. Results indicated that the chance of a farmer using agricultural technology correlated with his membership in farming associations and awareness of the negative influence of chemicals on health and the environment. Findings also showed that the probability of adoption was inversely proportion with farm size.
