The paper "Adoption of Agricultural Innovations in Developing Countries: A Survey" by Gershon Feder, Richard E. Just, and David Zilberman reviews existing research on the adoption of agricultural innovations in developing countries. It covers theoretical models, empirical studies, and evaluations of previous work. The paper discusses factors influencing adoption, such as farm size, risk, human capital, labor availability, credit constraints, tenure, and supply constraints. It also explores the dynamics of adoption behavior, including the role of learning, information, and institutional factors. The paper highlights the importance of understanding these factors to improve the adoption of agricultural innovations and increase productivity and income in developing countries. The study concludes that adoption behavior varies across socioeconomic groups and over time, and that empirical research is essential for understanding and improving the adoption process. The paper also discusses the implications of these findings for future research and policy.AgEcon Search is the world's largest open-access agricultural and applied economics digital library.
