摘要：When considering adoption or intensification of existing conservation practices, farmers haveunique, subjective views of the associated risks. These individual risk perceptions could haveimportant implications for conservation adoption or intensification. As a result, traditionalpolicy approaches to encourage conservation agriculture may be inefficient. This study examinesconservation adoption, with special consideration given to yield-risk perceptions. We present aconceptual model of perceived yield risk and estimate bivariate probit models using survey data.Results indicate that positive practice perceptions, particularly with respect to soil fertility, andopportunities for on-farm trialing may encourage adoption.
