Farmers' willingness to provide ecosystem services and effects of their spatial distribution (2013, background): “…increasingly complex social, economic, and institutional context (Balmford and Cowling, 2006; Pannell et al., 2006) and the consideration of the human and social factors that drive conservation success will require greater attention (Dutton et al., 2008; Pannell et al., 2006; Tenge et al., 2004).”
Adoption of multiple sustainable agricultural practices in rural Ethiopia (2013, background): “Despite the multiple benefits of SAPs and considerable efforts by national and international organisations to encourage farmers to invest in them, the adoption rate of SAPs is still low in rural areas of developing countries (Somda et al., 2002; Tenge et al., 2004; Jansen et al., 2006; Kassie et al.”
Factors influencing the adaptation of farmers in response to climate change: a review (2019, background): “For example, female household heads were less likely to adopt soil and water conservation measures (Tenge et al., 2004).”
Assessing the Livelihood Vulnerability of Rural Indigenous Households to Climate Changes in Central Nepal, Himalaya (2019, background): “[60], female-headed households are less likely to adopt technologies because female heads have less access to information and other resources due to traditional barriers.”
Conservation Agriculture in Maize- and Wheat-Based Systems in the (Sub)tropics: Lessons from Adaptation Initiatives in South Asia, Mexico, and Southern Africa (2012, background): “The adaptation of soil and water conserving technologies and their adoption by farmers generally are already complex (e.g., Erenstein 1999; Hudson 1991; Tenge et al. 2004)—compounded by CA’s technological complexities.”
Smallholder productivity and weather shocks: Adoption and impact of widely promoted agricultural practices in Tanzania (2017, result): “Household head’s education is significantly correlated with the adoption of SWC only, which is coherent with those obtained by Lapar and Pandey (1999) in the Philippine highlands and by Tenge et al. (2004) in Tanzanian west Usambara highlands.”
