First published in 1997, this volume reflects concern about the
environmental impact of modern agricultural practices,
agriculture's increasing reliance on non-renewable resources, and
the long-term productivity of high external-input agricultural
systems which has prompted a number of initiatives to promote the
adoption and diffusion of more sustainable technologies. For these
interventions to be effective, they should be based on an
understanding of what induces the producer to switch from
conventional to alternative practices. This book provides a review
on the determinants of adoption and diffusion of sustainable
agricultural technologies, including concepts and theories related
to this theme. The Green Revolution in Brazil is examined as a
means of establishing the background for an empirical
investigation. Data about farms in the State of Espirito Santo are
analysed using duration analysis, an econometric technique which
allows to assess the impact of time-varying, economic variables.
Thus, adoption is explained as a dynamic process.
