| Abstract: | A case study identified the factors affecting farmers’ adoption of
improved technologies extended by an agricultural development project in a rural
village in Yunnan Province, China. Project effectiveness was influenced by: the
success and appropriateness of recommended technologies and associated
infrastructure development; the use of participatory approaches; material and
advisory support to local stakeholders; clear explanations of project objectives to
farmers; benefits for small landholders; land rights for farmers; farmers’ awareness
and dissemination activities; and project duration. Farmers’ adoption of
technologies should be a major criterion in evaluating project success. |
