Adoption of System of Rice Intensification under Information Constraints: An Analysis for India
研究信息约束对印度农民采用水稻强化栽培体系的影响,发现有效信息、农民组织成员身份、劳动力和灌溉设施等因素显著影响采用,而印度国家粮食安全计划效果不显著。
Abstract This study examines the role of information constraints in the adoption of the System of Rice Intensification (SRI) in India by explicitly incorporating information in the adoption model. The results showed that effective information along with other factors such as membership in a farmer organisation, availability of labourers, irrigation facility and so forth were important in determining the SRI adoption. The results also revealed that the Government of India’s National Food Security Mission programme did not have significant impact in promoting greater dissemination and adoption of SRI.
