Factors Affecting Farmers’ Adoption of Agricultural Innovations: A Panel Data Analysis of the Use of Artificial Insemination among Dairy Farmers in Ireland (2012, methodology): “Education has previously been found to have a positive association with the adoption of new technologies (Prokopy et al. 2008) and it could be that age as used in this analysis is capturing the fact that relatively older farmers are on the whole less educated than their younger counterparts.”
Farmer’s intended and actual adoption of climate change mitigation and adaptation strategies (2016, background): “Since these vary significantly based on both the innovation and the place, many have concluded that there are no universal predictors for behavior change in agriculture (Prokopy et al. 2008; Knowler and Bradshaw 2007).”
Middle-range theories of land system change (2018, background): “Multiple works have also explored the conditions under which farmers are expected to adopt innovative agricultural practices in response to climate and other environmental change (Prokopy et al., 2008; Niles et al., 2015).”
Private Landowner Conservation Behavior Following Participation in Voluntary Incentive Programs: Recommendations to Facilitate Behavioral Persistence (2018, background): “Landowner adoption of conservation practices (Prokopy et al. 2008; Baumgart-Getz et al. 2012) and participation in voluntary incentive programs (e.”
Leverage Points for Governing Agricultural Soils: A Review of Empirical Studies of European Farmers’ Decision-Making (2018, background): “Institutional economics suggests that property rights are a very important determinant of resource management [127]; therefore, it is often assumed that tenure status is an important factor influencing decision-making behaviour of farmers [22,128].”
The relative importance of factors influencing the adoption of sustainable agricultural practices: a factor approach for Malaysian vegetable farmers (2013, methodology): “According to the reviews by Baumgart-Getz et al. (2012), Tey and Brindal (2012), Prokopy et al. (2008), Knowler and Bradshaw (2007), and Pannell et al. (2006), common factors that influence the adoption of SAPs can be split into six dimensions: socio-economic factors, agro-ecological factors,…”
Certification, good agricultural practice and smallholder heterogeneity: Differentiated pathways for resolving compliance gaps in the Indonesian oil palm sector (2019, background): “particular lack the knowledge, resources and legal documentation that facilitate compliance (Prokopy et al., 2008; Brandi et al., 2015).”
Why farmers adopt best management practice in the United States: a meta-analysis of the adoption literature. (2012, methodology): “Some results from these studies are complementary, but as demonstrated in Prokopy et al. (2008), subsequent studies often contradict earlier ones.”
